Wooden Table Bench - Flip Top Bench - any size - just add your CLS 2x4 Timber

We bought 2 of these benches in spring last year and have been delighted with them. We chose to stain the wood and both timber and frame have survived the winter and look as they did when first put together.We are always complimented and asked for purchase details by our guests so they can buy too.The benches took me (lady of adequate assembly ability) 30- 45 mins each to assemble.I would definitely recommend painting/varnishing your wood before putting the bench together. Our wood was obtained by a local timber merchant who cut it to our desired length. I think it can be anything from 2ft to 12ft? Anyway we chose 4ft. £20 for the lot.Benches work well as a picnic bench when we are eating outside as a family and also work well separately as benches (with a backrest) for seating when we've had garden parties.My husband is 6ft 4 and sits comfortably when the table is up in the picnic bench position.Hope this helps you in your decision making.

Very pleased, easy assembly, looks well easily adapts

This works well. It's solid and substantial when built. Sanded down dry, tantalised wood and used garden paint on it. Transition from seat back to table takes seconds. A little chiselling out of some grooves, for the bottom crossbars to fit into the slots.

Very nice when completed, but not that easy to put together.Also UK 2 by 4's are thicker than the ones to fit the bench, so the wooden slats needed to be shaved down to fit.

Good and quick to make though measure the holes before u go buy the wood.

What a fab thing....made up and treated in a week....

My neighbour is very pleased with his new table /bench and has made it to fit the space he has .Thank you

It was really hard to get correct wood for the bench you will need to account another £50 for the timber for each bench we have managed to finally get some from homebase when they received new stock. What's in the box is no much just plastic legs with neat design feature to be flipped over and pack of screws I must say it is sturdy but if you get incorrect wood it won't be a smooth assebly every holes are just so to hold the timber in place any thinner wood will not fit. Make sure you can buy the timber somwhere first before getting those legs returning this purchase proves very difficult and expensive. Had to wait a 1month to find wood in stock locally.
