[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace the table and bench combo that I had when my children were under 6 yrs old. Glad I found this. When the kids are playing outside they have a table for their lunch or snacks and the adults can convert it to a garden bench to comfortable seating.

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.

Many of the synthetic board screws have loosened and there does not seem to be any way to re tighten them. I e-mailed customer service support and although they indicated they received my message they have not sent a response, The customer service number does not answer after putting me on hold.

I have 4 of these around our campfire pit and they work perfectly for seating for 8 very comfortable or more if squeezing in. Couldn't ask for anything that worked better than these, as they are great quality and look great. Everyone really likes them and they are very solid to sit in. you can sit on or pop up the table and have a sit down place to eat when needed. Very versatile as you can slide two together and make a full size picnic table.

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!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We picked up two of these at Costco 7 years ago, and they are one of my favorite designs, and they've held up well. There's a creek in our back yard, and sometimes you want to sit on a bench with a cup of coffee; sometimes you want to picnic on a table. This does both easily, attractively and with low maintenance.

I bought the Convertible Bench YEARS AGO. Simple to set up, and converts to a table very easily. Looks great on a patio or deck. Two slats on the seat broke recently. Otherwise the bench is still good. I called the customer service at Lifetime. Spoke with Heidi. She was professional, courteous, asked a few questions to know the type of our bench so she can look for the correct part.(slat). She said she would order a complete seat so I can replace it with the broken one to honor the "Lifetime" warranty. I received the seat promptly as promised. Now, that's good customer service and honoring the warranty on a product by a company that stands by its promise - something that's becoming rare these days. Thank you Lifetime.

We bought seven benches for our school and one slat was broken. We called the Wholesale warehouse we purchased it from and they wanted us to disassemble the bench and return the whole product. We did not want to do this when all we needed was a replacement slat. I called Lifetime company direct and Nick was very helpful and will send a replacement slat with no problem. Great Customer Service!

I bought two of these, and they were delivered quickly to my home. Assembly was a bit tedious, but it was able to do both units in about 3 hours total. There was a manufacturing defect with the hinges which caused both units not to lock in place when in the bench position. I sent an email to customer service and received a prompt reply from Luke asking for pictures. I sent photos, and he responded the same day and placed an order for replacement hinges. I've already gotten an email for the parts order. I honestly did not expect to get such fine service on this issue. In spite of the problem, I highly recommend this product. It's heavy duty and looks great, and the conversion from bench to picnic table is quick and easy.

I bought a convertible patio bench a few years ago and a couple of the slats broke. Called up lifetime to order them and they told me they would replace them free of charge! The guy i spoke with had great customer service skills! Not many companies out there like this company anymore! I'd rate them 10 stars but only have 5 available!
