Abstract
A table includes first and second table sides where each table side has a vertical plane. The table also includes upper and lower horizontal levels. There are at least two seating areas on the first table side, wherein an edge of the lower level at each seating area is substantially recessed from the first table side vertical plane, and at least two non-seating areas on the second table side, wherein the edge of the lower level at each non-seating area extends substantially to the second table side vertical plane. The lower level is movable to add a seating area to one of the first and second table sides and add a non-seating area to the other of the first and second table sides.
