• the two plates are then brought together along the axis of the hinges 103A and 103B so that the magnets 202 of each handle 200 come into contact.
• the table thus described is easy to unfold and fold.
• the table In its folded state, the table does not take up much space and can therefore be stored in a simple backpack.
• the table can advantageously be moved alone and unfolded and folded alone.
• the table can be locked in an intermediate position between its low position and its high position, which offers multiple possibilities for positioning at the same time. 'user. In an intermediate position, simply lift the upper part to continue deploying the table and operate the handles 200 to return to a lower position.
• the folding and unfolding of the table is carried out via trays, rotating handles and telescopic legs other means can be used to implement these functions.
• at least one of the telescopic legs includes two successions of uprights, at least one of the telescopic legs may include only one succession of uprights or a larger number of successions of uprights.
• the telescopic foot may include more than five uprights or less than five uprights.
• the number of boxes associated with each telescopic leg may be different from what has been indicated.
• At least one of the boxes can be mounted on at least one of the uprights by gluing, by screws, by circlips or any other known means.
• At least one of the boxes may be different from what has been indicated and for example include a greater number of tabs and/or housing and/or buttons and/or elastically deformable elements... than what was described.
• At least one of the holes and/or at least one of the housings may be arranged differently from what has been described.
• the base may have a different number of legs or zero legs.

• the base may have a shape other than that described.
• the base element 410 can be extended on either side by two legs 411 movable relative to the base element 410 between a folded position and an deployed position. Contrary to what was indicated previously, at least one of the legs 411 is thus movable between its two positions by a translation movement along the base element 410 and/or a rotational movement along an axis of rotation 412 parallel to the direction in which extends longitudinally at least one amount fixed to the base.
• tops are identical, at least two of the table tops may be different from each other.

• the different boxes of the table could be identical to each other (and not different as indicated).
• the different boxes associated with the same succession of uprights may be identical to each other and not different as indicated.
• Each box may be equipped with a button (optionally beveled) and/or an end cap (optionally beveled).
• the table passes in a single step from its high position to its low position, the table can pass through at least one intermediate position in which it will remain in position during its retraction.
• the user will have to activate a mechanism to continue retracting the table (for example the handle or another mechanism).
• the table will be provided with at least one integrated mechanism for adjusting the inclination of the work surface and optionally the inclination of the work surface with respect to the horizontal.
• the integrated mechanism could for example be integrated into the base as described or else be a relatively tiltable support or could be the system for attaching the plate and/or the frame to the rest of the table and allowing their inclination, etc.
• the work surface of the table may only have one top.
• the table may therefore not have a foldable work surface.
• the table will, however, always be foldable because the legs are foldable (in addition to being telescopic).
