Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a table suitable for use in combination with a sofa or the like.

Conventionally, as this type of table, a table called a support table or the like used while sitting on a bed, sofa, or the like is known (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

By the way, in recent offices, etc., a work style in which multiple people sit on a sofa while watching a common display and conduct presentations, video conferences, etc. is becoming popular. In many cases, a support table on which writing utensils and the like are placed and used is assigned.

However, a table that is used in such an active situation is not suitable for a table that is heavy enough to be used at the side of a bed, and is desired to be lightweight and sturdy.

However, there is a dilemma that promoting weight reduction tends to impair the overall rigidity, and conversely, increasing strength increases weight.

Such a problem is not necessarily limited to tables used in front of sofas, and similarly exists in tables used for other purposes.
