A Pop-up Table Assembly comprising support sections supporting a table telescopically mounted on a stabilizing shaft secured within a drum mounted in the ground or other sub-structure. The table assembly is releasably positioned in either its elevated mode or down mode (within the drum). U-shaped channel members provide a way to guide the reciprocation of the assembly, and are longitudinally secured to the interior wall of the drum. Means for positively locking the assembly in its down mode is provided. Alternative embodiments of counter-balancing mechanisms are disclosed, whereby raising and lowering of the assembly is facilitated. Drainage passage provide for run-off of water that may accumulate upon the stored assembly or while it is in use. A storage chamber is generated between the table assembly elements and the drum, for introduction of furniture or the like to be stored when the assembly is not in elevated mode or used. Means for initially raising the table assembly from the ground plane is included in order to easily grasp the table to raise the assembly to its elevated mode.
