We bought 2 of these convertible benches for our cabin in the spring of 2015. We LOVE them. We use them as benches around the camp fire at night which allows more people to fit around the fire. Then, during the day, just one click, we turn them into a table. We throw a tablecloth over it and eat our Meals and play our games on it! Have messy kids? No problem, don't use the tablecloth then spray down the table when you're done! These are made of great materials! They are light in weight so easy to move around. We left them out on the covered deck this last winter and they were still in great shape this last spring. We hope they last for many years. My sister liked them so much she bought some also.

I saw this product and immediately knew it was what I was looking for. You need two people to put it together; there are a couple of screws that are complicated to work with. We live in Miami, FL, and this is the rainy season. One thing that we noticed, when converting into tables, was rust water coming from inside, even though no rust was visible from outside.

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

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!!

The convertible is very solid and easy to use, but the boards stain VERY easily. Although I know it is outdoor furniture, still it would be nice for it to have a better coating of protection. I will agree with others that the customer service is excellent and some new boards were sent to us, but we have over 12 units...so that's a lot of boards.

We have this item for very many years. I don't even remember the year of purchase. Although it is somewhat degraded and the plastic is slightly warped after being in the outside elements for a long time it is still very functional. I recently called to request replacement bolts and the customer service team was very helpful and I did receive them.
