I made my router table with a plywood top and a pair of sawhorses as legs. In order to allow easy knockdown, the tops of the sawhorses simply fit into dadoes beneath the plywood. This gives me a little more room in the shop when needed and frees the sawhorses when I want to use them for other things. The table has a spare router base permanently attached the router can quickly slip out of this, put on its other bottom, and be ready to tackle other jobs. Best of all, I made the table the same height as my tablesaw, so it can double as an outfeed table, which is actually how the whole idea started.
