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 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.

Love this table for our cabin in the mountains. Even though it is great in all weather, we love how it flattens out to store in the shed over the extremely harsh, snowy winters. We eat all meals outside on it to make the most of the beautiful outdoors. It has held up great for us for many years.

Got this picnic table last year for my back yard. I had a wood table that was destroyed by the sun, and was looking for a table that would last longer. At first I was hesitant to buy a metal and plastic table, because I am 6'7" and weigh 350 lbs. I was worried about it holding up to me, my four kids and the weather. A year later, and I am a super happy customer! So glad I got this table. I can sit on one side of this table and it does not flip to my side... even if no one is sitting on the other side. It sits in the sun all day in 115 degree temperatures and has no signs of fade! The fact that it folds down flat has been super convenient as well. We have taken it on multiple camping trips and vacations. We just fold it down and put it in the trailer. When we get to where we are going we always have a place to sit and eat, play games, and prep food. If you are shopping for a picnic table; Buy a Lifetime picnic table.

We have used these tables in one of our local parks. I couldn't be happier with their quality and how well they withstand the elements. We have crazy inclement weather in Pennsylvania from below freezing to scorching summer heat, rain, ice, you name it we get it and these tables have help up well!!

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 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have purchased many of your tables and they are AMAZING. This table is horrible. It shakes like crazy. I love your products so I purchased the one with the wide legs and it is FANTASTIC. Now I have to be inconvenienced by having to disassemble this and return it to the store and deal with them. What a pain in the neck. Don't buy this one, spend a little more and buy the better model.

This table is perfect for all outdoor events. Whether camping, parties, playing games, or visiting this table hold s us all. Very sturdy and easy to set up and haul. Fits in our trailer too. Wipes off great and can upheld the weather. We love our family picnic table!

We purchased this table two years ago store inside every winter after the first season the table started cracking along the edges on table top and seat tops. Corners create pinch points poor quality material would not recommend purchase of these tables. Lifetime does not mean lifetime warranty very misleading
