Known self-assembled furniture system [US 5244271], which includes a self-assembled table containing a generally flat base, legs, two half-tables located in the base. Half-tops cover containers and have recesses for their extraction from the base.

Closest to the proposed one is the Benji Activity table of the Australian company HipKids [https://www.hipkids.com.au/products/benji-activity-table-2-chair-set], which has a base consisting of two longitudinal and two transverse boards, legs, two countertops placed in the base so as to form a substantially flat surface, and the countertops rest on the base on the ledges of the longitudinal boards and on the slats attached to the transverse boards. The table is made of wood, or rather plywood. The base has a bottom on which the organizer is located, dividing the internal space of the base (storage space) into four equal parts. The height of the organizer is from the bottom to the rails on the transverse sides. The legs are boards located on the longitudinal side of the table and attached to the longitudinal and transverse boards. Worktops have long and short sides, are made even on both sides, have slots near one long side to allow them to be removed from the base. Each countertop is made of plywood and on the one hand has no coating, and on the other it has a coating in the form of a slate. Worktops are interchangeable and can be located upward in the base with the slate side or the plain side, moreover, independently of each other.

The disadvantages of the known table are the presence of slots on the surface of the countertops necessary for their convenient extraction and installation, the presence of slats on the inner surface of the transverse boards, which complicates the process of extracting various stored objects (pencils, crayons, etc.) from the storage space, limited possibilities for using countertops , limited functionality of the table, low structural rigidity, the presence of a gap between the countertops during operation of the table, necessary for the possibility of their removal and installation. In addition, the disadvantages include the high cost of the material in the production of the bottom due to its significant size and, consequently, a high percentage of waste when cutting a standard sheet of bottom material (for example, plywood). Also a disadvantage is the low convenience of transporting the table in a disassembled state and the high cost of packaging materials, since the dimensions of the bottom of the table are much larger than other elements.

The technical task is to eliminate slots from the surface of the countertops while maintaining the convenience of their removal and installation, eliminating the rails on the transverse boards (sidewalls), expanding the possibility of using countertops, expanding the functionality of the entire structure, increasing the rigidity of the structure, eliminating the gap between the countertops, reducing material waste during manufacture and transportation, as well as increasing the convenience of the latter.

The technical problem is solved by the use of continuous flat countertops, the location of slots on the sidewalls, the installation of countertops only on ledges of longitudinal boards. To increase rigidity, there is a cross-sectional rib at the base, fixed in the middle of the longitudinal boards. Such a rib can have vertical slots for placing the organizer, as well as horizontal grooves for installing two halves of the bottom, which the rest of the sides are placed in the grooves of the longitudinal boards and sidewalls. To eliminate the gap between the worktops, magnets are installed at their ends to attract the worktops to each other. In addition, countertops can have the following options for working surfaces: regular smooth (for example, wooden), slate, magnetic, marker, magnetic-marker, sorter, for attaching buttons. Due to the fact that countertops have working surfaces on both sides, it is worthwhile to understand that options for making pairs of working surfaces on such countertops can be varied. For the application of various variants of work surfaces on one product, the system can be equipped, in addition to two main ones, with two additional countertops, which are placed under the bottom and can be individually replaced with the main ones. Each countertop can be equipped with a suspension placed in a recess at the end. When the tabletop is used for its main purpose, the suspension is removed and does not protrude beyond its perimeter, and if the user wishes, the tabletop can be hung on the wall behind such a suspension. Sidewalls can be made in the form of transverse boards or U-shaped legs-sidewalls, which in turn can be solid or composite.

In more detail, the proposed invention can be described as follows. The invention is a development system having a base, consisting of two longitudinal boards and two sidewalls, a bottom, two countertops placed in the base in such a way as to form a substantially flat surface from above, with the countertops resting on the base on the ledges of the longitudinal boards. Worktops are made even on both sides, interchangeable and can be located in the base with either side up independently of each other. At least one side of one countertop is not coated, and one side is coated in the form of a slate, while the countertops are solid, without through holes on the working surfaces, and the sides have horizontal slots in the upper part. In addition, there is a spacer-transverse rib attached in the middle of the longitudinal boards. The bottom consists of two halves located in the horizontal grooves of the longitudinal boards, sidewalls and spacer-transverse ribs. In addition, at least one side of one countertop has a sorter on its surface. Additionally, an organizer can be placed in the inner space of the base, and the spacer-transverse rib can have vertical slots for pairing with such an organizer.

Sidewalls can be made in the form of transverse boards. In addition, there may be legs attached to the longitudinal and transverse boards.

An alternative version of the sidewalls is their implementation in the form of legs-sidewalls, which can be solid or prefabricated.

Worktops may have at their ends elements for connecting worktops, which may be magnets or magnetic tapes or mechanical.

In addition, the proposed development system may have at least two additional countertops, with at least one side of one countertop may have a magnetic surface and at least one side of one countertop may have a marker surface.

Also in the proposed development system, at least one side of one countertop may have a magnetic marker surface.

Also, in the proposed development system, at least one side of one countertop may have a surface for attaching buttons.

To fix additional countertops, the longitudinal boards of the developing system may have fastening elements on the underside.

In addition, at least one countertop is equipped with a suspension placed in a recess at one of its ends. It is worth considering that such suspensions can be placed in more than one countertop.

Each main surface of the countertop can be of the same type (for example, magnetic), or may have a perimeter frame that protects the main working surface (for example, magnetic) from damage when moving or installing in the base and interfacing with ledges.

The sorter is a lot of recesses relative to the flat surface of the countertop, the depth of which can vary. The figures are located in the indicated recesses. Each recess of the sorter can be equipped with at least one magnet, and each figure can be equipped with a response magnet or a metal element.

A marker surface is a surface on which you can write or draw with a marker, with the possibility of subsequent removal of what is written or drawn with a napkin.

The magnetic surface is either a sheet of magnetic material or a plurality of permanent magnets.

A magnetic marker surface is a sheet of magnetic material coated with a material on which to write or draw with a marker.

The surface for attaching the buttons is a sheet of porous material intended for multiple installation and removal of push pins, such as cork or foam.

Table legs can be made in various versions, for example, four independent legs, two double legs, four legs pairwise connected, one central leg. In the case of implementing a development system without legs or side legs, the base is mounted on a supporting structure (for example, a wall or post) using an arm, chain, rope or so on.

The legs may be “growing”, i.e. change height, can be equipped with static, swivel or retractable wheels. The bottom of the legs can be equipped with a protective coating to prevent damage to the floor covering (felt linings, plastic, rubber, etc.).

The organizer is a collapsible design and allows you to divide the inner space of the base into cells for storing various objects: paints, toys, sorter figures, paper, crayons, etc. The organizer can be located in the entire internal space of the base, or maybe only in one half, limited by a spacer-transverse rib. The organizer of the different halves can divide the space in different ways.
