I have now been using this table for over 2 years and it is as good now as the day I bought it. It has lived on our patio during the summer and on a covered deck for the winters (in Utah) and shows only moderate weathering. Our family of 4 is able to easily sit around it for meals, pumpkin-carving, game time, etc. and we have used it for many a bar-b-que with friends as well. I have not used the umbrella hole, so I can't comment on that, but for ease of up-down (we live in a high wind area) and every-day use it has been awesome.

We got this picnic table a little while ago and we are just so impressed with the durability of this product! We have left this table out in all sorts of weather and it is like nothing has happened to it! We love the powder coating feature because the structure of it is still just awesome!

I have had this picnic table for a few months now and I have loved it! I just keep it outside in my backyard and it has held up really well, especially considering the fact that it sits in the sun all day! I would highly recommend this picnic table!!

I bought this to use mostly as a planting table, and it has worked out great. It was fairly east to put together. One piece was broken and I notified the company. They immediately sent me a replacement. I only rated it as 4 stars because it is not real heavy.

I bought a picnic table for my family a couple of years ago. I grew up using a Lifetime picnic table and it is even still standing about 14 years later even though it has been kept in the weather! I would recommend utilizing the table's ability to fold down for winter storage, but these tables are built to last. They are a part of our family dinners almost daily during the summertime. Thanks, Lifetime!

We now have two picnic tables . They are very portable and easy to fold and assemble and vErY sturdy . The only complaint I have is that after a few years one of them has rusted metal on of the benches and currently on website now to hopefully order new metal pieces because plastic has held up remarkably

I bought this table based on the description that it would not crack or fade. Guess what, both happened. I could upload only 1 photo on this website (says size is too big for other 4 uploads), The other pictures show bigger cracks and are similar to photos in other reviews. This table is dangerous to sit on or use. I disassembled it, thinking I can change the broken parts, but was told that they don't sell replacement parts. We did not use the table very often. The table was well cared for. It was folded when not in use and stored securely.

When we first bought these tables a few years back I really loved them. Then after a couple of years I started noticing tiny cracks on the seating. Two of these tables sit under a covered area so they don't take a lot of weather except for morning sun. Now all three tables are like this! The description says that they don't crack or split. That's not true. I even had a friend over recently and he was sitting on the bench and it just gave way under him. He fell backwards on the concrete. How embarrassing! Now my daughters birthday party is April 8th and we have no reliable seating.

We bough a table 10 years ago and it completely rusted apart...the label says FEATURES Folds Flat for Storage Includes Umbrella Hole and Cap Seats Eight Comfortably Some Assembly Required Stain Resistant and Easy to Clean Steel Frame with All-Weather Finish Superior Strength and Durability UV-Protected Polyethylene Tabletop Will Not Crack, Chip, Rust, or Peel Why does it say it will not rust crack chip or peel if it does and you will not replace it?

Assembled product is unusable. So wobbly that everything on table spills or upsets when someone sits down, gets up, or shifts position. The fact that it folds is the root of the problem. Hinges, sliding tubes and locking points all are loose to allow legs to fold, but at the cost of a sturdy table. Returning this in the next truck out of town. Definitely do not recommend this product.
