Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2286690A1] The table (2) has a sitting tabletop (6) and a standing tabletop (58) forming a tabletop arrangement. The tabletop arrangement in a standing table configuration (5) is lifted relative to a sitting table configuration (4). The tabletop arrangement in the standing table configuration is configured differently than in the sitting table configuration, where lifting of the tabletop arrangement and a configuration change of the tabletop arrangement during a change between the standing and sitting table configurations depend on each other.
