Abstract A table leg assembly includes a plurality of vertical legs, a plurality of radial bars to brace the vertical legs, and a central body to interconnect the radial bars. The body includes a cylindrical rigid block which has a top end and a bottom end, a cylindrical periphery that interconnects the top and bottom ends, and a plurality of ribs that extend vertically and that project radially from the cylindrical periphery at predetermined angular intervals. The table leg assembly further includes a plurality of curved connecting plates, each being disposed between two adjacent ribs and each having two opposite ends screwed to the two adjacent ribs. Each of the connecting plates is integrally connected to a respective one of the radial bars.
