Very sturdy
Bench is very sturdy and does not wobble on level ground. Switching from bench back to table is very easy. The directions were clear and all of the parts were clearly marked and organized well. Highly recommend!

Wonderful addition to our campsite
Easy to put together. Looks like they will last a very long time as my other lifetime products have. Very easy to convert from bench to table. Light enough to move around, but not at all tippy. Love them.

Handsome Bench. Solid. Comfortable. Only one issue…
I received a gift card for my birthday and I wanted a place to sit while the dogs ran around the yard. The features of this bench that include conversion to a table and the faux wood slats made it a wonderful gift. I really like the modern, streamlined design. Very linear and smooth.I put it together by myself with some careful and creative ways to hold this while I watched that. The hardware on ‘blister’ card’s made the assembly quite easy, and the instructions were very well written. Whoever put this item together for market did a super job. I was happy to see ‘Made in Vietnam’, instead of China. ðAfter reading some of the older reviews, I could not relate to the issues many people had experienced. I can see from their pictures that there have been some modifications made by the manufacturer than might prevent some common problems. The slats are screwed through the slat, recessed/counter-sunk (see pictures), and are anchored in the steel framing below. The hex screws are recessed and level with the slat. The hinges may have been improved as I have no problem performing the conversion to a table, and back to bench. It is an easy and fluid motion with mine. I would suggest that 2 people move the bench when necessary. Not only is it heavy, but the ‘Feet’ have rubber/plastic pre-installed inserts; I would not suggest dragging this across any surface.My only issue (See photos) is with one of the hinge plates, which there are 4, and they should be identical. The last plate I installed is missing a hole for a bolt. Ugh! I was seconds from being finished and the last bolt would not go all the way through. After I realized it, I was frustrated and could not bring myself to take things apart and drill a hole. The hinge plates are quite thick, 3/16″ , but should be simple to drill through when disassembled…impossible to drill into when assembled. Ugh again!If you purchase it, stack the 4 plates together and make sure they are identical to each other. They should all be the same size and all the same holes should be pre-drilled.I am enjoying the bench many times every day. I hope you enjoy it too.

Very cool concept
This had very good instructions. Easier to do with two people assembling. We purchased two. The second was very easy to assemble because we figured out on the first. We will see how this handles over the winter. As of now, this is sturdy and welds seem solid. Color is very attractive as well. For the price, this was worth it.

Versatile – I bought 8
I opted to use these for my pavilion seating. I bought eight and assembled them all myself. I saw a slight variance in manufacture, but had no real difficulty assembling any of the eight or lining up the pre-drilled holes. One must simply be careful to follow instructions. They look great and the flip-top mechanism seems to work well. I love the versatility of this product. Since they are not directly exposed to the weather I hope they will look good for years to come, but I have no experience with durability as yet.

Fits 3 comfortably
This convertible bench is great for eating at and just sitting. We use it for extra seating when the outdoor table of 6 gets filled. It is also great to sit and relax at when it is flipped up as a bench. Such a great idea, saves space, sturdy, easy to put together, beautiful, and easy to clean!!
