A dice toss game includes a pair of spaced apart table units, and a cube-shaped die. Each table unit may include a frame having an opening extending therethrough, legs coupled to the frame, and a net to be stretched across the opening of the frame to form a die bouncing surface having openings extending therethough. Hooks are used to secure the stretched net to the frame. The cube-shaped die is to be tossed by a player for bouncing off the die bouncing surface on one of the table units. The openings in the die bouncing surface may cause the cube-shaped die to bounce in a random direction.

A multipurpose table may include an inner recessed area having a floor, a ledge around at least a portion of the perimeter of the table, and one or more rails between the floor and the ledge. The floor may be adjustable between various heights. A plurality of table covers may rest on the rails and be flush with the ledge. Table accessories may include attachment mechanisms for securing the accessories to the ledge. The attachment mechanisms may include stops insertable through a top surface of the table surface proximate the rail, and a cavity securable around the ledge. A stop receiver may also be positioned around the ledge and capable for receiving the stop.

A messaging and ornamental coffee table system and method of operation provides a coffee table comprising a resilient base, sidewalls extending up from the resilient base and forming a cavity, and an at least partially transparent table top having a depressed message portion and hingedly connected to one of the sidewalls. The system further comprises at least one light source operational in the cavity to illuminate towards the at least partially transparent table top. The system further comprises a plurality of tiles defined by multiple faces displaying alphanumeric characters, or symbols, or both. The tiles are arrangable on the message portion to display a message. The system further comprises an at least partially transparent ornamental member disposed on the table top. The illumination from light source illuminates the alphanumeric characters and symbols of tiles, and the at least partially transparent ornamental member to enhance visibility and decorative effect thereof.

An RFID system includes multiple antennas and uses amplitude and phase information of the RFID signals received by each antenna to determine the position of RFID tags in the vicinity. More than one antenna can receive the RFID signals during a single read cycle, enabling the RFID system to operate more quickly than a system that energizes antennas separately.

A play center for a child includes: a structure configured to removably receive a first board in a generally horizontal orientation, to removably receive a second board in a generally vertical orientation, and a storage area for receiving and storing additional boards that are interchangeable with the first and second boards; and a plurality of boards configured to be removably attached to the play center, each board being preconfigured for a particular activity to be performed at the play center, whereby each board can be swapped out to provide for a child is to participate in a different activity at the play center. Preferably, one or more pairs of the boards collectively are preconfigured for the particular play center activity and, more particularly, a pair of boards configured for being mounted in a vertical orientation and a pair of boards configured for being mounted in a horizontal orientation.

A modular table comprising a main table body having a center portion, a mid-section which is disposed vertically underneath the main table body wherein the mid-section is adapted to provide vertical support to the main table body. An alternative embodiment of the table has a center portion of the main table body which is telescopically expandable allowing the mid-section to become vertically disposed. This telescopic expansion can be achieved using jack screws or rotatable mid-section. The table trunk is capable of housing a plurality of stools or chairs. The stools or chairs can be coupled together and, when placed end to end, provide a further base for the main table body due to a notch which is formed and which fits an extension which protrudes downwardly from the main table body. The main table body can also have a reversible table top which can be designed to be a gaming board or a bar top.
