Got this picnic table last year for my back yard.  I had a wood table that was destroyed by the sun, and was looking for a table that would last longer.  At first I was hesitant to buy a metal and plastic table, because I am 6'7" and weigh 350 lbs. I was worried about it holding up to me, my four kids and the weather.  A year later, and I am a super happy customer! So glad I got this table.  I can sit on one side of this table and it does not flip to my side... even if no one is sitting on the other side. It sits in the sun all day in 115 degree temperatures and has no signs of fade! The fact that it folds down flat has been super convenient as well.  We have taken it on multiple camping trips and vacations. We just fold it down and put it in the trailer. When we get to where we are going we always have a place to sit and eat, play games,  and prep food.  If you are shopping for a picnic table; Buy a Lifetime picnic table.
