The present invention is directed to a portable furniture assembly that utilizes a pair of opposed and spaced apart scissor assemblies. A stop mechanism is provided to retain a pair of scissor structures of the portable furniture assembly in a set-up condition and yet permit easy release of the stop mechanism to permit folding of the furniture assembly for transport. A foldable and portable chair has a flexible sling suspended between two scissor assemblies to define a seat and a back for the chair. The portable chair also has two bottom rails connected to front supports of the scissor assemblies via pivots. Rear supports of the scissor assemblies are removably connected to the bottom rails at the stop mechanism to retain the portable chair in a set-up condition and yet permit the chair to be folded to a completely flat or folded condition. A portable and foldable table also utilizes two scissor assemblies wherein elongate supports of the scissor assemblies define four table legs at lower ends of the supports. Two fixed upper ends of the supports are pivotally connected to a tabletop and the other two upper ends of the supports are releasably connected to the tabletop at the stop mechanism. The tabletop and legs are retained in a set-up condition by the stop mechanism and yet can be folded to a completely folded condition.
