I loved the idea of the skinny picnic table to go on my not so wide porch. Unfortunately, it’s looks as if the wood split while they were building it and they used wood glue, filler and even staples to keep it together. This is the underside of the benches, one with repairs, and the other seems fine. Looking more closely, I wonder now if this one will split too...3rd pic, at the hinge. I was planning to weather stain the surface but I may just send it back now. Great concept, poor execution Good luck!!
