A folding table that includes a base with two pedestal assemblies having base frames pivotally connected to each other is provided. One base frame is attached to a table top and both base frames are connected by a linkage assembly. A gas cylinder assembly is connected to the linkage assembly. A latch assembly attached to the bottom surface of the table top engages with a stop member on the base frame that is not attached to the table top. A latch assembly for a folding table and methods of operating the folding table are also provided.

A table has at least one table leg and a table top, the at least one table leg being pivotable relative to the table top, between an unfolded position and a folded position, about at least one first joint, wherein a strut is held on the table leg so that, at a first end, it is pivotable about a second joint, is provided for fixation of the table leg, and in the unfolded position of the table leg, it is operatively connected to the table top at a second end, opposite the first end. The table leg has a stop limiting the angle between the table leg and the table top in the unfolded position, such that the strut comes into frictional contact with the second end on a support surface held on the table top. In an unfolded direction of the strut, the support surface extends from a first end to a second end, and the distance from the first end of the support surface to the second joint in the unfolded position of the table leg is greater than the distance from the second end of the support surface to the second joint in the unfolded position of the table leg, so that, in the unfolded position, the strut is in self-locking frictional contact with the support surface.

A base for supporting a hunting blind includes a plurality of outer frame members connected to one another to form an outer frame, at least one floor panel positioned on a top surface of the outer frame, and at least one of the floor panels defining at least one aperture to receive a storage bin. A plurality of support members may be configured to support the outer frame, the support members being configured for insertion into a ground surface. A height of each support member relative to the ground surface may be adjustable to provide a level position for the outer frame.

An article of furniture can include a base attached to a frame to support the frame on a floor. A tabletop may be attached to the frame. The frame and/or the tabletop may be attached to a folding mechanism so that first and second sections of the tabletop are moveable so that the tabletop is adjustable from an unfolded position to a folded position and vice versa. The folding mechanism may include a plurality of spring elements connected to a plurality of hinges that are configured to help control an amount of force needed for adjusting the tabletop's position and the rate of speed at which the tabletop is rotatable between its folded and unfolded positions.

A workbench is provided. The workbench includes a bearing platform, two supporting structures, a control member and a connecting assembly. The bearing platform includes a bearing surface and a back surface away from each other. The two supporting structures are rotatably mounted on the back surface, respectively. The control member is movably connected to the bearing platform. The connecting assembly is configured for connecting the control member to the two supporting structures. The control member is capable of driving the two supporting structures to rotate via the connecting assembly under the action of an external force. When the workbench is in the folded state, both of the two supporting structures are adjacent to the back surface. When the workbench is in the support state, the two supporting structures are capable of supporting the bearing platform.
