We have had our picnic table for about 6 or 8 years now and I would buy again if ever I need to!!! Our table is outdoors and not even covered!! In the middle of the back yard and every spring all I have to do is put a little elbow grease and some soapy detergent to it and it's ready to go!! So glad I purchased this table!! First saw the brand at our local park here in town and came home to check it out!! Ordered one and have never looked back!! Before this we went through 3 wooden picnic tables!!! Can't say enough about these tables!! Trying to talk my kids into Lifetime for their homes!!!
