Folding table having a fastener to releasably hold each of one or more legs, rigidly attatched to a rotational leg supportive structural shaft parallel and adjacent to the underside of the table. The legs can be fastened or unfastened into/from an erect position by a rotational leverage force applied to the leg. The fastener provides a manually breakable and engagable grip between two surfaces being fastened to each other. The primary resistance of such a table against collapse is due to the limit of the legs' opening rotational travel, the frictional force of the floor on the legs, and the rotational sets of table legs being configured substantially oppositely. In a four-legged rectangular table configuration, when using such fasteners, each pair of legs is rigid in the opposite direction, providing overall table rigidity. Also encompassed is a variation permitting non-releasing leg latching, including a latch release mechanism.
