Lifetime Products 22127 Lifetime Round Picnic Table and Benches, Top, 44", Almond

It was delivered on time and as described. It fits perfectly on my patio.

As always came warp speed from amazon. If you are anything like me, " you want it, when you want it "!!! OK, I've heard it all before, "I can go down to the store right now and buy it or something like it, I like to feel it, etc. " Well, its a Lifetime product, I have a shed by them and another style of picnic table, all the same , great product, at a good price from amazon. Mostly, for me , items like this is bulky and somewhat heavy, So !!! It was , as I said delivered quickly and I had the UPS guy place the package right where I wanted to set it up . What's that service worth to you ?? You must set it up, build it and they will sit. You must at first build the structure that the table top sits on and the bench seats attach to. Look at the pictures carefully, yes pictures, no instructions and don't tighten down any screws until you attach the table top to your support structure. Use a screw driver and a hand wrench, leave your power tools in the shed. Tighten securely, DONT GO RAMBO ON THE SCREWS AND BOLTS MR. HULK GUY!!! You could strip out the holes and then you will have to listen to your lady attacking your manhood the rest of the evening. Another very important tip. If you have someone offer to help you that knows everything already, send Mr. know-it-all on a quest to the store for something you don't need and best if it doesn't exist at all. Left handed screw driver, etc. Feel free to get creative on that. Don't thank me, I have one of those, we all have one of those, I think its in the constitution or something. This table is easy to take care of, durable, and well made , its something, one of the few items you'll buy that you'll be totally satisfied with . I cant promise you your lady will be satisfied with this, However , unless your six years old you know that already. One other thing the bench seats swing out which is great, however they are made of hard poly product, so if you come from a long line of small butt people, like I am, for prolong sitting you may require a small cushion. All in all , theres nothing like a good sit down and this fits the bill.

The hardware was packaged nicely, but it would have been nice if the bags of screws had some identification on them (like this package contains screw `A').The box the table came in had numerous booklets of directions all in different languages (English being one of them). The directions were easy to follow and understand. Although the directions said it was a two person job to assemble, I was able to do it alone with just a few changes to the assembly instructions (I attached the braces and then the cross bars after laying the table top on the floor, that way I didn't put pressure on the table assembly when I turned it upside down by myself). It took a while to set the table up (a few hours). There were a lot of pieces to assemble and many screws. But the end result was worth it. I used the table for a graduation/memorial day party and it was a hit!I guess the only thought or concern I had was the screw assembly to the table top. I could see that connection coming apart if someone applied a great deal of pressure to it (since you are basically attaching the legs (or screws) to the underside of a plastic piece). I would have been more satisfied if the table top had molded a metal bracket within the table itself to insure that the piece was more secure.

This is replacing the same table we had on our patio for over 10 years. It is identical and we love it.

It's a bit detailed to put together, but the instructions are accurate and the hardware is packaged in such a way that it is impossible to lose any loose pieces (perhaps all of the hardware could be left out, but not a portion due to the heavy-duty sealed packaging). The only improvements I would recommend to the manufacturers would be that they make all of the fasters the same size. They accomplished that with the sheet-metal screws, but the bolts had two that were different by mere milimeters. When dealing with the general public, you'll save save time if you give them fewer choices to screw up. Also provide extra fasters. This is an outdoor table. If the general public assembles it outdoors chances are they are going to kick the two different bolts out into the grass somewhere after they've unpackaged all the fasteners and dropped them--so give them a few more to lose so they don't give up and use duct tape and give you a bad review. There are several place where the designers did take care to make sure the product assembled in only one way (such as the benches). All in all a solid product. Give yourself about 3-4 hours to assemble.

Wonderful table!! It took a bit to assemble. I was able to do it myself without assist, but the instructions say you should have two sets of hands and it would have made it easier, but I did not have that luxury and was able to complete it myself. There are LOTS of bolts to screw in so if you have a low torque tool to assist that would have made it a lot quicker. I did not have that either. I would say the table took me a couple hours to assemble. The instructions were well written. One of the things I like most about this table (other than it's quality of materials) is that the one leg of the bench is secured, but the other swings free. So you can pull out the bench form the right hand side to make it easier to get in and out of the bench. This table is the perfect size for a game of cards with friends. We store our RV on our property and often use it as a "guest suite" We put this table outside the RV with a small fire pit and it feels just like camping. :)
