Unclear instructions

instructions were easy to follow until we tried to fold the table down into a bench. It was then that we realized the benches were different. We took it all back apart and started over. We ended up with screw holes in one of the benches when it was completed.
really great. Highly recommend. Did have to change a couple things to get it assembled though. Some of the peices that were already put together were wrong and had to be redrilled in order for things to fold together properly after assembled.
I was skeptical of ordering a picnic table without seeing it in person, but I trust bcp...this came earlier than expected and in great shape...easy to assemble and came with the correct socket besides. It took me a little bit longer to put it together (being 67 years old and it was 92 degrees out at the time,) than stated, but we just loved it once it was finished. Perfect for the four of us to enjoy for cards, eating, or projects. A great find!
I hate to write a poor review because when I first set this up I was really excited about it but here goes - it was relatively easy to put together and felt sturdy and secure for the 1st week. Now 2 weeks in it wobbles even when my tiny kid sits on it in picnics table formation. Also, now that it’s gotten wet in the rain, the wood is starting to split and splinter in some points and one leg is already looking really rough. I had asked on here if it was weather treated and got a yes - I wish they had been explicit about that it’s not in the description because then I would have sealed it before putting it outside. It’s literally just been sitting on my patio and we haven’t even converted it back and forth much and it’s been less than 3 weeks. It should not be in this rough shape already. I plan to seal and paint but I’m not sure how much longer it will last us.
I bought two of these and they are great. I use them on my pool deck. They don't take up much space as a bench and easily open to make a picnic table. Many of my friends have seen them and ordered one for themselves. I painted mine red to match my other pool furniture.
I primarily use this as a bench, but it flips out to a great kid's table when you need it. It's not treated, so if you want it to last you'll have to do that. Easy to assemble in about an hour going slow.
