Best Choice Products 6-Person Circular Outdoor Wooden Picnic Table for Patio, Backyard, Garden, DIY w/ 3 Built-in Benches, 500lb Capacity - Natural

I put this together this weekend. It's not too hard and it went smoothly. I was surprised at how sturdy this is. Im 245 lbs and sit comfortably on this. It looks good and is a nice size for 2 or 3 people. For more than that, get the bigger one. My only thing like most people say is you cannot insert your umbrella down to the ground so it sticks way up in the air (no good). You would have to get a hole saw or some other way to get it to settle but otherwise this is a nice set and great for the price.

Was trying to find something pretty reasonable for our backyard. Cute, not huge as we don’t have a ton of room and wanted something easy for the kiddos. Found it in this! Was easy to assemble and is sturdy and perfect for what I was hoping for in the backyard.

I bought this table for a small deck we have off of the outbuilding so we have somewhere to sit down and work on the laptop outside. When the box came with the unassembled table inside I thought there had been a mistake and they sent me an end table or something. There was no way this table that seats 3 could be in that small box. It was. The packing was good and there were no broken parts, but they use sheets of styrofoam between some of the pieces that disintegrated during shipping and so tiny balls of styrofoam were everywhere while I unpacked the pieces. Also several pieces of the build had what looked like melted styrofoam stuck to them and required a razor blade to clean it off. I figured the stain they used may have been still wet when the packed the pieces in the box and it reacted with the styrofoam and melted it. The directions were adequate if you have put furniture together before but even still you have to do a lot of head scratching and squinting at the assembly drawings that are neither in scale or perspective. There are at least three steps in the build that could be assembled incorrectly without any warning or guidance in the instructions so be careful not to tighten everything down until you are sure it is right. I used gorilla glue everywhere I could when assembling the table (after I did a dry run assembly) and I think it really needs the extra step. It should be called for in the instructions to use strong all weather wood glue. I think by adding the glue turned the table into a decent piece of outdoor furniture that should stand up well to use. The table is small and quite low but it is comfortable and easy to sit down and get up. I could not picture 6 adults sitting on the small benches but 3 adults seems doable for sure. I applied 2 coats of timber oil to all surfaces of the table after the glue had dried and before it ever got wet from rain. I propped up the corners and let timber oil soak into the ends of the wood that touch the ground/deck as those will be the first places that rot if untreated. It looks SO MUCH better with the timber oil applied and you can really see some depth in the wood. So overall a good table for the money if you need a small table and if you use glue in the assembly and timber oil after the build.

PROSReal cedar wood! It smells wonderful. The build, materials, and hardware are all good quality. I'm shocked it is as inexpensive as it is. The size is on the smaller side, comfortably seating 6 small-to-medium sized humans who don't mind sitting in close pairs. The size actually works well for my intended arrangement, so this was a plus for me. Visually, the table and benches look very nice. It's designed with more of a traditional, outdoor picnic table look and I appreciate the tasteful aesthetic.CONSUpon arrival, a few of the boards showed some minor cracks in the wood. Nothing I think will affect the stability or longevity of the table, but this does prevent it from being perfect. The wood is a raw untreated cedar, from what I can tell. Although this natural material means it smells great, it also means the table will not hold up as well against the elements as some other products. Cedar itself is a naturally weather-resistant wood, but regardless, raw wood simply can't do as well as treated or finished wood. As for the seating arrangement, the table has a unique split bench design, with each of the benches mounted onto one of the three table legs, with each leg effectively halving the benches into two seating spaces. This design may limit the utility of the benches for some. As others have noted, you can sit on a bench and straddle the table leg, but this awkward positioning would make it more difficult to sit down or stand up. The better way is to use it is as designed, by sitting on one side the bench. This allows fairly comfortable seating for average-sized humans.SUMMARYThis was one of my favorite purchases of this year! Considering the great price, the pleasant appearance, and the solid wooden construction, the whole table appears much more expensive than it actually is. The main downsides - the split seating arrangement and lack of any wood protection - become minor quibbles when you realize just how much you're spending. Regarding the latter point of weather protection, I did end up finishing the table myself with several coatings of linseed oil. This will hopefully protect the table better from sun and moisture. Sadly, the linseed oil also eliminates any hint of that nice cedar smell. If the wood fragrance is important to you, I suggest considering other options, like simply keeping it out of the sun and/or covered when not in use.Overall, I'm excited by this purchase and I expect many years of happy use from this table.

Pretty picnic table but pretty small and the wood is very soft and light. Not as sturdy as I was hoping. Better for a kid’s table probably.

Put it together in about an hour, seems to be sturdy haven't had a chance to use it yet

The miter cuts are not exact so the main middle supports are not sturdy and difficult to fit. Two legs were splt in halft on the table that I received, and will need to be replaced, or the table retruned. Customer support does not answer my request. The instructions are poorly written. The wood is very light weight - it seems to be a cheap pine sprayed a reddish color to appear as cedar with a strange smell. Not made in the USA. The screws are inferior quality, but the bolts seem substantial. Not worth the money IMO.
