1. A blow-molded plastic structure comprising:
a tabletop including an upper surface, a lower surface, and a hollow interior portion disposed between the upper surface and the lower surface of the tabletop;
a lip extending downwardly relative to the lower surface of the tabletop, the lip including an outer surface and an inner surface;
at least two supports disposed in the inner surface of the lip;
one or more joints disposed in the inner surface of the lip, a joint of the one or more joints disposed between adjacent supports of the at least two supports, the joint disposed between the adjacent supports at least substantially prevents fluid flow between the adjacent supports; and
a compression edge disposed in a distal portion of the lip between the adjacent supports of the at least two supports.
