If you were to buy the Instant Table, you would not actually be purchasing the raised surface that you might expect -- in fact, you might not be buying a tabletop at all. The most significant component of this design is the bright blue table leg, and you get four of them with this set.

'Why the Friday' invites you to choose your own flat surface, opening you up to many possibilities in terms of size, shape and material. You might require a [dining table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/runda-tables), perhaps a [side table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turno), or maybe even a [desk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosi). These supports can be fixed to a wide variety of panels of wood, metal and more. Enabling this is a simple but strong clamp mechanism attached to each of the legs of the Instant Table.
