I really love the concept of this product. It was an affordable and attractive picnic table. I love that the can turn into benches. But it drives me crazy that it stains so easy!! The second anything greasy touches it it stains instantly! (most bbq food is greasy) It should probably be stain resistant to food... It's a picnic table! I have tried cleaning it with soap, cleaner and a water pressure sprayer! Nothing did the trick! I feel like I am missing something!

Have had these on our screened in porch for years and use them as benches until we have Sunday “low country boil’ for family, then use as a table. I put lemon oil on the simulated wood, hoping to preserve them. We bought a set for our daughter’s family and they keep them out on their patio.

we bought two to make a pick nick table together. first one i followed directions exactly, took a while, second one was a snap. their good solid benches and lifetime products are wear great. they look awesome and will work perfect for what we wanted. thanks lifetime

Lifetime products don't last. We thought it would last more than just a few years before the slats started to break. We had to replace half the bench slates within 3 years and now that the rest are failing after year 5, Lifetime won't send replacement slats. Very disappointing. A

Why did they make the screws so short? I would give it 5* if they simply made the screws 1/8" longer because that's all it would have taken to allow the customer to re attach the slats that come apart for literally everyone. Now I'm stuck with this useless item too bulky to throw away. Of course it was fine right to until the warranty expired. Amazing how they time it to fail so precisely. Oh well. Live and learn.

I chose this bench for the added feature of it flipping to form a table and bench. It was a little confusing to put together. You really need to follow the pictures exactly to make the hinge part work properly. We had to take it apart a couple of times to get it right. One of the pieces (long metal tubing) arrived damaged but when I called the company, they were very easy to have a replacement part sent to me at no cost. I like that the wood look will last through our very wet seasons.

We purchased two of these a little over a year ago, we have added two more to the collection. They are the best for family gatherings. Put two together for a picnic table and then you move them around a camp fife for a wonderful evening of smores with family. They are the best! I love multi-functional furniture!

I bought two of these benches several years ago and have kept them outside by the lake. They were flooded by the big rains in 2015. Then a large limb fell down and broke one slat in the seat. I have requested a replacement and there is no charge!! Amazing! The benches still look brand new and I love the ability to sit on it as a bench and then convert it to a table for dinner!

Bought 2 benches 4 years ago for my boat dock. Great product and really useful as both a bench or table..... Had 1 plat break due to undue stress. Lifetime's Customer Service was really on the ball getting my replacement shipped... The company name is Lifetime, but from my prospective, Lifetime refers to their customers!!

We have two of these benches in our backyard and can I say that we absolutely LOVE THEM! We have a BIG family and spend a lot of time in our backyard. The older kids are always having friends over for Smores Night in the fire pit or dinner in the yard and these convertible benches are always a hit. The kids will even go out and sit at them to do their homework. I would highly recommend these to anyone looking for seating and the convenience of a table all in one! We LOVE them!!!
