The present invention provides an inexpensive adjustable leg for furniture that can be used to alter the height of items of furniture, such as tables and desks used in education facilities, to accommodate persons of a wide range of height and ages. The adjustable leg comprises an outer sleeve within which an inner leg is slidably disposed. A protrusion provided to the interior of the outer sleeve interacts with a groove and recesses, corresponding to desired height settings, configured in the inner leg. A biasing member provided to the adjustable leg acts against a surface of the inner leg while mounted to the outer sleeve, urging the inner leg against the protrusion and facilitating easy engagement with the recesses.

A surgical table having a tabletop and a column for enabling at least a part of the tabletop to be rotatable about a trend axis extending in a transverse direction across the tabletop; and an actuator mechanism coupled between the movable framework and the column and arranged to raise and lower the movable framework and the trend axis relative to the column and to rotate the movable framework about the trend axis, wherein the actuator mechanism is fitted to an external surface of the outer column element and is adapted to move the movable framework between a lowermost position, at which the trend axis extends through an upper part of the outer column element which surrounds the inner column element when the column elements are telescoped into the contracted configuration, and an uppermost position, at which the trend axis is spaced at spacing height from an uppermost part of the column.
