fold-down table

Hinged flat workspace

A fold-down table is a table with a hinged top that can be lowered flat against a wall or other surface when not in use, saving space.

Common in small apartments, RVs, and aircraft: The flight attendant lowered the fold-down table from the seat back.

Also called a drop-leaf table when the folding section extends from a fixed center.
