Picnic Table Now, Garden Bench After Lunch

Outdoor furniture commits to one job: a picnic table stays a picnic table, holding the middle of the patio whether anyone is eating or not. This one is hinged. The bench planks come together into a seat and the tabletop swings up behind them into a backrest, so the same wood is either a 57 by 54 inch table that seats four, or a garden bench that seats two and takes 27 inches of depth instead of 54. The umbrella hole is cut in the tabletop, which means it rides up into the backrest the rest of the time.

The catch every product here has oneThe wood is where this costs you. The only care the maker offers is a wipe with a dry cloth, the warranty runs 60 days, and returns ship back at your own expense, so anything that opens up after a season outside is yours to fix. Seal it or keep it covered if it is going to live outdoors all year. The build is yours too, an afternoon with the guide in the box, not a job you start an hour before people arrive.

Buyers report

Buyers report a well-made piece for the money and value having a bench and a picnic table in one. They describe assembly as straightforward but long, a few hours of work, and the finished piece as sturdy and easy to convert between the two modes. The recurring complaint is durability: boards cracking and wood splintering.
