Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was a little apprehensive of the purchase at first since it oviously looked plastic with a more modern style and the $80-100 price tag was almost as much as a full/complete wooden table kit. However, I broke down and paid the extra for the clear reality that maintenance over the years would be almost non-existent. Upon arrival, I was happy to see the inviting packaging, the well laid out instructions on the box, and the sturdy blow mold construction of the support members. I decided to spend a bit more and go with composite decking (~1" x 5.5" x 6') for the table/bench tops and treated pine supports underneath to again avoid future maintenance. Changing up the board dimensions made me miss one hole on either side of the table supports, but it was as sturdy as anything. I used 6 planks on the table and 3 on each bench. The composite needed a bit more support in the middle, so I improvised with standard picnic table cross supports in the middle of the undersides. I also curved and routered the ends like the picture and made it look much more refined than a boring square table. Plank spacing also looked nicer at 1/4" as long as your boards don't warp. I love how the benches are extra wide and detached from the table which makes it alot more versatile for varying situations. All in all a great table and I was willing to spend more for something that would look nice for ages and save me countless hours in staining and weather treatments for years to come. Recommended!
