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!

Cracked and Brittle Tabletop and Bench Seats
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.

Cracked in multiple places. Hope Lifetime does not hide behind the warranty disclaimer
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.

We bought 10 and we loved them, if you pull up too hard lifting the table top you can pull it all the way out of the support. We were able to use them twice on our farm for a school outreach program in which we hosted a primary school and high school field trip and then our community was struck with 14 tornados! $60k in damage so far and we lost our tables so we cannot talk to long-term serviceability.

The assembly was fairly easy. Im a 37yo woman and I did it by myself in under 30 min. It took that long because the predrilled holes did not quite line up when putting the seats on. Other than that, the quality seems to be great. It appears tohold up in rainy/windy weather although I havent had it up but a month.

Great Picnic Table for Parties!!
We have owned our Lifetime Picnic Table for years, and it is so nice for parties, or just enjoying a meal outdoors! We also use it for crafts and other activities. I love that we can fold it up to store, or to bring it inside when we need more table space, and it is great that it has the seating built in!

Great useful gift
We received this picnic table as a gift from my parents. It has been a great table for us. We love to pull it out when we have family dinners to add seating so we don’t have to try to fit everyone in the house. It can hold a lot of people. In fact, we just fit 10 11 year old kids on it at our final basketball team party without feeling like it was going to crack or collapse. It folds up very easily, although the seats do have a few scratches on the edge from sliding into place in our garage. We love that it is much lighter than the old heavy brown tables we inherited. It is also great since we don’t have to put up chairs too, which saves space on storing chairs.

Perfect picnic table
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to go on our deck for the summer. It has been awesome! It's big enough to fit our family and friends, wide enough for a bunch of plates and serving platters. It's easy to move, easy to clean, and of course I love the Lifetime warranty! Great purchase.

Love the table but like other reviewers said, it came damaged. Not worth sending back and I think the company counts on that. The issue should be addressed with the company that ships. Our delivery guy made a note on the packing slip that it was damaged before he took possession, which I reported. Haven't heard a word.... not impressed!

Family Picnic Table
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just pulled out our picnic table for a BBQ a few weeks ago and I'm reminded of how much I love it! I also love that it stored so well in our garage over the summer. It gives us a great place to eat outside and have extra seating for parties and what not.

I purchased this product to place on the deck outside my office as a replacement for some outdated tables. I chose this product because it can be folded up for storage during winter months and appeared to be weather resistant. The table sustained minor damage in shipping. The carton was shredded upon arrival and one of the benches was scuffed. Fortunately, none of the parts was lost during shipping even though sections of the tubular framework were protruding through the holes in the shipping box. I saved the box in the event I needed to make a claim with the shipper. The table was fairly easy to assemble - having 2 assemblers is helpful. It looks good and appears sturdy. Although not visible in the photograph, the table has a hole in the center for an umbrella if desired. This table is reasonably priced, substantially built - the manufacturer could step up their game with sturdier packaging.

Cracked seats
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.

These tables need to be folded up and kept indoors when not in use. After 3-4 years outside, the top on ours has started cracking and falling apart.

Good Value; Deplorable Packaging!
The table is as advertised, although less sturdy then expected. It is unlikely that we will feel comfortable "maxing out" the table to its stated 1,000 weight capacity and will limit seating to 4 adults. The packaging was in shambles when the table arrived. Thank goodness all of the screws and hardware were installed in the table during shipping. Our table had minor scuffs and dents from the poor packaging, but not so bad that I wanted to go through the hassle of shipping back. We purchased the table on sale and therefore accepted the table in its "scratch and dent" status. The dark green color absorbs more heat than the lighter tan, but we like the color and hope it doesn't fade badly in the sun. Assembly was fairly simple. Having two people involved in assembly makes the task much easier.

Great table
The online ship to store site did not offer the option of having the table assembled upon arrival at the store and I was suprised to find a box full of parts waiting for me. Not only was the box too heavy to lift by myself, but I had to find someone to come to my house to unload and assemble it. HOWEVER, it was easy to assemble within 1/2 hr. and it was a good size with plenty of room for entertaining friends. Once it was put together, I was delighted with the sturdy construction, durability and the ease of folding flat to store against the wall of my garage. A little on the pricey side, even on sale, but a very good investment, nonetheless. It just seems like something so heavy that needs to be assembled should at least offer the option to have it done at the store - not anything that a single lady with a bad back should attempt to do herself! My money is as good as anyone else's, but my back is another story!

looks great/sturdy
I bought this online and had it sent to the store, and picked it up. The box wasn't smashed or anything, as others have said, but the top did have some nicks/dents in it (of the actual table). I put it together exactly as instructed, and even watched the video, which it mentioned, and it all fit together perfectly, yet it won't fold up? I don't understand that part, but I didn't plan on moving it/taking it anywhere, so I suppose that's fine. Something must have gone wrong, but I absolutely can't understand where it went wrong, because everything matches the instructions, video, etc. . It's very sturdy in all ways, so that's what matters to me. I like the hole for the umbrella; I never had an umbrella in a table, before. I bought a nice, 9 foot one, which tilts, and it looks great, and covers the entire table for shade, not making the table hot 9and I live in FL, so that's important). Others were correct about the very dark green color; it doesn't match the bright green in the picture they provided. But, I love forest green, and it's very nice looking, so that was fine. I've really been enjoying this in my back yard. I used to have a wooden one, which rotted within a few years, and was beyond heavy to move. I got rid of that one. Thankfully, I can move this, easily, by myself. (This was being sold on Amazon for almost 50.oo more, and I found it on here for much cheaper-great deal:)

Great picnic table
The table was easy to assemble. It is very sturdy and durable. We purchased another one just like it about 7 years ago and it still looks great. The legs rusted a little, but we keep both tables at our boat dock, so we expected some wear and tear. Overall, we are very pleased with this purchase.
