Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had this a few years and really liked it. My only complaint was that it was a little light in weight and would blow over sometimes in the wind. It still looks brand new and would be perfect except ... it turns out the slats are not metal as I assumed but are made of cheap plastic and are too thin. A neighbor kid was chasing a ball, hopped up on this, and actually stepped right through *four* of the slats. It caught his feet and flipped the table over on him and he (and I!) are very lucky he wasn't badly injured. The fact that this table looks so sturdy actually makes it more dangerous. If you have active kids and don't want surprise medical bills, steer clear. And don't count on Lifetime to back up their cheap materials, the warranty is only two years. Update: Added a star for Lifetime's customer service. I had to pay to replace the parts but they recognized I have many of their products and offered some concessions. I just wish they would make this bench stronger as I expect better quality from the brand.
