5.0 out of 5 stars Cool & Easy Project!, April 26, 2007

By	Jeff (Sonova Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

Just look above for the image of the red bench. That's the bench I made with this kit. The color is called "Mickey's Pants". Very red, very bright!

The bench was an easy project. Just measure, cut, paint, and screw!

The instructions were easy to follow. If you look on the 2x4 Basics website, you can find the template to make the rounded corners.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent product - poor assembly instructions, July 17, 2007

By	Will Bullard (Arkansas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just completed building this picnic table and am pleased with the result - both in terms of final cost and esthetics. And while I'm not much of a craftsman, basic math skills say that the assembly instructions on the box are frustratingly WRONG (and note no other instructions come inside the box so keep the box until it's built). In case you didn't know, what is referred to as a 2" x 4" is in reality only 1.5" x 3.5". the width of the plastic table frame is 29.62" and because of the way the predrilled holes in the frame are lined up the boards that go on top of the table can't exceed that. Let's do the math: 8 boards on top at 3.5" each is 28" plus the 7 spaces of 0.5", which is spacing width according to the instructions, come to a total of 31.5". In other words if you follow the instructions you won't be able to get all 8 boards on. Fortunately I realized this before I had screwed the boards to the plastic frame and corrected the spacing. In my case I used some chopsticks that were about 0.30" and that worked out fine.

Another frustrating detail you need to be aware of is that if you build your table to the maximum 8' length and you use the more economical framing 2x4s that I did then your bench will feel like a trampoline when sit down on it. The span is just too long for the boards not to noticeably sag. My solution was to screw two boards underneath the spans at appropriate intervals to shore up the bench and that solved the problem. One nice thing about the benches is that they are wider and one person who sat on them commented that it made them more comfortable.

One last thing you should know if you plan on rounding the corners - you either have to cut them before you screw them on or move the legs closer to the center. I had planed to cut the corners (the cutting template is on their website but no mention of that is on the box) but after I had assembled the table and benches according to the instructions it wasn't possible to cut them because it would have required cutting into the plastic legs.

I tend to believe the manufacturer's claim that the plastic frames will last many years (they use the word lifetime) but it would be nice if they could get their act together and provide better instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea/kit, September 9, 2006

By	Colleen Larsen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking to buy just an old fashion picnic table when I saw this kit. I like doing projects so it looked great..As soon as I received the kit I ordered the lumber and in a little over an hour I had the first bench done. I opted to make it 8 feet long so doing the table took a little longer but it came out GREAT and no one could believe that I made it by myself. I added a chair to each end and was able to have enough room for 11 people. It's solid and looks good. (Now I just have to figure what color I am going to stain it).. Once again this was a great project and I am very pleased. I don't like to read instructions so the pictured instructions on the box was perfect for me. Colleen
