We bought this table a little over 2 years. It collapsed while my kids were sitting on. Contacted Lifetime and they were nice enough to send me a replacement part. After installing the part the table would not stand right. Could not see anything broken or bent. Tried to look online for troubleshooting or a manual and nothing was to be found. Better off buying a traditional picnic table. It is much cheaper and will last longer.

We got a lifetime picnic table a few years ago. I hate to admit it but we leave in in the back yard year round. We don't cover it or store it anywhere. It gets the sun all summer and the snow all winter and it is still in great shape! This table is still sturdy as the day we got it and it doesn't look like that will be changing any time soon. It's in our family back yard for the long haul.

I think the 6 ft classic picnic table from lifetime.com. is well made. I'm very easy to assemble, and instructions easy to follow. But there is one downside to this item. It's not very steady and sturdy. I think it would be better if there was an extra mount in the middle. I know that lifetime, do do different tables. And there's one above this one table that has got thicker legs. But I am happy with my product we'll just see how it goes. And if it's okay then I will recommend the company to family friends and colleagues.

I have two of the Lifetime picnic tables (White & Putty). The White one seems to be holding up well, but the Putty one has holes along the edge of the table top. The bench seat is cracked in 4 of the 8 corners on the bench seating. You can see crazing all along the bench and if you try to sit on it you hear it cracking. I'm disappointed.

I've had my table about 17 years and it's still going strong. It has been kept outside the entire time and still is in great shape. We have single digit winters and triple digit summers - this table has been through it all and still looks and works great. My neighbor used to borrow it and liked it so much he bought one for himself along with the child size one.

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 bought our first table over 10 years ago! First time we took it camping all of our friends loved so much they said they had table envy:) We still have and use that table. Just bought 2 more as Christmas gifts for our children and their families. One table was missing a part. I emailed the company and in no time at at all the part was being shipped to us. We love Lifetime<3

Don't know if these tables are still made as they were 13 years ago, but ours has been outdoors at our business in Massachusetts since we purchased it at least that long ago, used daily, weather permitting, by adult employees (mostly men). Never stored inside. Just transported it for a family party. It's certainly showing its age, but still easily supported 6 adults comfortably at the party. Looking to get another but still using this one!

This table is great for our family partys in the summer. We use it all summer long. The grandkids all sit together on it and enjoy talking without the adults. It gets used for craft activities during the summer also. We've had it for several years and it is still in great condition! Lifetime products are awesome! You can't go wrong by buying from Lifetime!

I bid on this table at a silent auction over 10 years ago and was so pleased I ended up with it. We have taken it many places but it is currently residing at my daughter's house nearby where we have a lot of outdoor picnics and it has held up and still looks new.
