Great deal, small and compact

Pros: small easy to clean
Cons: slightly unstable when only 1 is used.
"Small and compact, we use it on our small back deck. Just a word of caution, when used alone as a table, it could tip over. So we push it up against the deck railing. But it's the only table and seating that will fit on our small deck. Perfect for kids messy snacks or art projects."

As advertised

Pros: free shipping when ordered through costco
"This is a sturdy, simple, economical bench. The nice feature is that it does make into a half table so it is versatile. All plastic so it will be easy to hose off and no corrosion. Lightweight but I don't see that as a con. Very easy to assemble. Not the most attractive looking bench, but so practical. I am using it out in the vegetable garden. Plus, it is made in the USA!"

Great Item

Pros: easy to assemble, look great after 2 years
"Purchased two of these two years ago. They have held up beautifully. Sitting out all summer in the hot desert sun and still look like new. Only problem was one bench was delivered damaged. Costco took the return back at our local store and we reordered another one. Great customer service!"

Really Nice Purchase

Pros: no maintenance, good price
"Bought 2 benches in order to make a complete picnic table. These are sturdy and great by the pool. We purchased these to replace the same product that we had purchased years ago. They are fine outside but they do weather "over time" so it is best to cover them."

So darn versatile

Model Number: 454679
"This wonderfully constructed bench/picnic table can be easily assembled and used quickly. The bench is so versatile that it is like a "transformer" that go from bench to picnic table quickly when you want to have a place to put your food and drinks and enjoy a nice sunny day. Of course you need two benches in order to form a standard table so keep that in mind. The bench is very light that an average person will have no problem in moving it around to accommodate your deck/patio. Besides being light, the bench is rugged enough for 2 or 3 average size person."

versatile bench/picnic table

Pros: looks good, lgtwgt
Cons: price
"love the dual purpose of this item. it's lightweight and easily movable. since you need two of these to make a picnic table, it's rather pricey."

Great Bench!

Pros: great quality. nice price.
Cons: lightweight so easily blows over in winds.
"I bought this bench as an addition to our backyard play area. The bench is great for when I'm sitting watching the kids play. Also doubles as table for kids lunch or snack. The kids also have a blast playing pretend restaurant & serving each other when converted to a bench. Holds up nice. Has been in my backyard & endured a years worth of elements & still looks like the day I bought it."

Easy to assemble and sturdy, very impressed

Pros: versatile, great design, sturdy
Cons: does not offer other colors
"I ordered two of the benches and love the flexibility to use them either as benches, a picnic table or just a study table using one one of the benches. I did the assembly by myself and was impressed by how easy it was and how clever the design was. I weight 200 lbs and can tell you that the seats are more sturdy than they look and they are quite comfortable."

Clever and Affordable

Pros: design
"We bought 4 of these benches to use as a table for the backyard and as benches for our front porch. They were SO easy to assemble for my less-than-handy husband. Our kids love the functionality; they each use a bench as a "desk" to do their homework outdoors. I love the design and the ease of care."

Love it!

Pros: versatile - as either bench or picnic table, affordable, good quality, easy to convert from bench to table and back
"What a clever idea with this bench/table combo! We bought 2 benches to create the full-size picnic table. (You must buy 2 benches to create the full picnic table in the picture. Otherwise, you will have a half-wide picnic table.) It was easy to assemble and also easy to convert from bench to table and back. The plastic is of high quality and should last for many years.
We plan to use them as benches in our screen-in porch and when needed as a picnic table at the patio. You can buy a side table or two and some 60" long cushions to make the benches even more comfortable. I highly recommend this dual use product at such a reasonable price!"

Amazing Simple... Simply Amazing!

"perfect product for our family of four. great for the kids too. each bench supports up to 600 lbs which means you could fit 3 large adults on each bench. that said, the bench a bit tight width-wise to fit 3 adults, but it can be done.
i love how these can be used as benches most of the time...and combined to be used as a picnic table. genius
the product looks great. from a few feet away or more, it looks like glossy white wood. but it's actually pvc type material which makes it easy to clean and light weight.
very happy"

Convert A Bench

"All I can't say is these benches are wonderful. No more having to paint a picnic table. Easy to take care of. Just wash with soap and water"
