  The outer chains are purely for stability of the top. The center one holds all weight.

  Rubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?

    Not completely true. The middle can just be a piece of chain as well, but it needs to be under tension. Steve Mould explains it very well in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o
