We love our picnic tables.  We have the 8ft and the 6 ft ones.  They are so sturdy and perfect for summer picnics.  We even bring them in the house for Thanksgiving or large family gatherings.  The only thing I wish it had is a circle in the middle where you could place an umbrella if you chose. I noticed the updated photos have the circle but ours is about 5 years old.  Summers do get hot and we don't have a ton of shade.  The fact that they fold completely flat makes them great for storage.  I don't know what we'd do without these!
