11. A table sized and configured to nest with an adjacent table to reduce a height of a plurality of stacked tables in a nested configuration, each table of the plurality of stacked tables being substantially identical, the table comprising:

a table top constructed from molded plastic, the table top comprising:

an upper surface;

a sidewall;

a lower surface spaced apart from the upper surface by a distance; and

a nesting portion disposed at least proximate the upper surface, the sidewall and an outer perimeter of the table top, the upper surface, the sidewall, the lower surface and the nesting portion being integrally formed as part of a unitary, one-piece construction during a molding process; and

a frame connected to the table top, the frame comprising:

an elongated body disposed at least proximate the sidewall of the table top; and

a frame engaging portion protruding outwardly from the elongated body, the frame engaging portion sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table.

12. The table as in claim 11 , further comprising an engaging portion formed by a lower edge of the table top, the engaging portion of the table top sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table; and

wherein the frame engaging portion of the table top and the frame engaging portion are disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table.

13. The table as in claim 11 , further comprising a lip and a compression edge disposed in a lower portion of the lip, the compression edge sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table; and

wherein the frame engaging portion and the compression edge of the table top are disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table.

14. The table as in claim 11 , further comprising:

a corner of the table top including a compression edge, the corner compression edge sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table; and

a lip of the table top including a compression edge, the lip compression edge sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table;

wherein the frame engaging portion, the corner compression edge and the lip compression edge are disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table.

15. The table as in claim 11 , further comprising:

a corner of the table top including a compression edge, the corner compression edge sized and configured to be disposed in a nesting portion of an adjacent table when the table is nested with an adjacent table;
