1. A Collapsible Table System adapted for stability at standing desk height, comprising:
a tabletop assembly, the assembly comprising:
a rigid planar tabletop;
a storage box integrated beneath said tabletop;
a bottom cover, reversible to extend the work surface by forming a utility shelf;
a height adjustment support system, configured to provide a stable support at a standing desk height, comprising:
a plurality of telescoping legs, each leg adjustable in length and securely attachable to said tabletop assembly;
means for selectively securing said telescoping legs at a predefined standing desk height;
a stabilization system, the stabilization system comprising:
a plurality of clamping mechanisms, each attachable to a leg of said plurality of telescoping legs, wherein said clamping mechanism comprises:
a first portion and a second portion, pivotally linked;
a hinge pivot interconnecting said first and second portions;
distal ends of said first and second portions configured to be removably connected, defining a leg opening to envelop a leg from said plurality of telescoping legs;
a stability member-receptive notch positioned between a connector and distal end, within both the first and second portions; and
said stability member-receptive notch configured to rigidly nest a stability member, positioned between adjacent legs from said plurality of telescoping legs;
a plurality of stability members, each connectable between said clamping mechanisms, forming a structural web;
a shelf, connectable to said clamping mechanisms;
said connector adapted to removably secure said clamping mechanism around said leg, said connector being a large-grip-head thumb screw; and
said stability members, when connected, form a structural web that distributes loads and stresses throughout the interconnected assembly, thereby enhancing stability especially at said standing desk height;
wherein said tabletop assembly, said height adjustment support system, and said stabilization system are collaboratively configured to maintain stability when adapted to a standing desk height.
