Works great for our needs. I cut wood at 48 inches to accommodate 2 people. Problem is when it is flipped up for a table we need to straddle table legs. Next time I would make wider bench and make sure the width would accommodate two people between the table legs. Basically added at least 16 inches and making a new bench at least 64 inches wide.  Bench was delivered quickly with all of the parts. It was easy to assemble and very sturdy. I would recommend this product.
