A table assembly 10 stowable in a cavity 26 provided beneath a floor of a vehicle 20. An elongate carrier 30 is coupled to the walls of the cavity 26, a first end 30a of the carrier 30 being configured to rotate and translate relative to the cavity 26 between a stowed position, in which the carrier 30 is stowed in the cavity 26, and a substantially upright position, in which the carrier 30 extends from the cavity 26. A table top 50 is coupled to the carrier 30, a first end 50a of the table top 50 being configured to translate and rotate relative to the carrier 30 between an aligned position, in which the table top 50 is aligned with the carrier 26, and an extended position, in which the table top 50 is at an angle relative to the carrier 26. The carrier 30 may comprise a guide (38a,38b, figure 3) and the table top 50 may comprise a follower (52a,52b) configured to follow the guide (38a,38b). The guide (38a,38b) may comprise a curved portion configured to guide rotation of the table top. The table top may rotate through 180 degrees between the stowed and deployed configuration.
