a first base;
a second base spaced apart from the first base;
a first leg extending from the first base, wherein the first leg extends in a substantially perpendicular direction to the first base;
a second leg extending from the second base, wherein the second leg extends in a substantially perpendicular direction to the second base;
a primary cross-bar connecting the first leg and the second leg;
a rotation mechanism connected to the primary cross-bar, wherein a tabletop is fixedly connected to the rotation mechanism;
wherein the rotation mechanism comprises:
a first rotation mechanism housing pivotally connected to the primary cross-bar,
a first activation rod, wherein the first activation rod is movably connected to the first rotation mechanism housing;
a first deadbolt connected to the first activation rod; and
