Abstract

A height adjustable table assembly (10) has a table top (12) with an upper surface (20) and an outer periphery (14). The table assembly (10) also has a supporting base (38). A height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) is provided to selectively raise or lower the table top (12) relative to the supporting base (38). The height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) includes a height adjustment actuator (25) in the form of a rotatable member. The rotatable member (25) is selectively rotatable relative to the supporting base (38) to actuate the height adjustment mechanism (25, 54, 50) to selectively raise or lower the table top (12). The rotatable member (25) is disposed underneath the upper surface (20) of the table top (12) and has an outer edge (29) which terminates at or near the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12) for at least a portion of the outer periphery (14) of the table top (12). A resiliently deformable tether (40) may interconnect the table top and at least a portion of the support assembly (27). An O-ring (120) may also be provided between telescoping leg portions (24,36) of the support assembly (27).
