A table, such as a coffee table, has a top consisting of a plurality of panels of standard dimensions which are supported by a frame. The frame is formed of horizontal flanges projecting inward from the sides and ends of the top and intermediate members, preferably T-shaped in cross-section, which are supported by the ends or sides. The edge flanges and intermediates are so fabricated that the individual panels, which are preferably flat-topped, thin squares, are supported with their top surfaces level. Some of the panels may be replaced with shallow dish-like members, which are likewise square and are supported at their edges in the same manner as the flat panels. These may be used as planters or may hold art objects, in which case they may be provided with transparent covers. The same technique may be used to provide a shelf below the top. The square pattern may be interrupted by making some of the panels of fractional width, disposed in regular or random patterns.
