A nesting table comprises a frame, a table top that rotates between a use configuration and a storage configuration, and a control that controls the rate of rotation from the use configuration to the storage configuration but does not affect the rate of rotation of the table top from the storage configuration to the use configuration. An impact protection device can be mounted on the frame to protect an adjacent table when two or more tables are nested in storage configuration. The nesting table also can be provided with a modesty screen that is mounted such that it does not interfere with the rotation of the table top in either direction. The table further can be provided with a latch including a hook, and a hook cover to further protect adjacent tables in nested configuration.
