An outer cover, having an elasticized hem, is adapted to fit like a mitt over the inner core. The outer cover also has a pair of tie strings which secure the cover over the inner core and secure both to the leg at the corner of the table. The cover is readily removable from the inner core and the assembly is easily removable and reattachable.
