For household account bookkeeping work at the dining table, etc., it is necessary to carry a writing instrument and a computer, and after use, they must be moved to another place other than the dining table. These are also troublesome.

In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a table provided with a table top plate and table legs for supporting the table top plate, which is convenient even when used for purposes other than the intended use.
