Lifetime 8' Classic Folding Picnic Table | Lifetime Assembly Video

[@AnaRo_sales]

Omg finally I find a video on hold to fold it. I have two of these that my sister gave us because her job moved so she took them and they're just sitting in my backyard taking up space. Now I know how to fold them away.

Thank you, as your instructions were simple and easy to understand.

Looks like a sturdy well thought out product. One time assembly with one common hand tool and easy folding and unfolding will make this a perfect addition to my RV's 20' cargo trailer. I will transport it clamped to the sidewall E-track system.

We bought this table for my parents as a Christmas gift from Walmart. When Memorial Day was around the corner, we got the table out of storage, loaded it up (heavy!) and took it over to my parent to assemble it. We carried it around the back of the house, opened it up and started the assembly. When we tried to put the hinge portion of the legs into the rails, they wouldn't fit. We called Walmart to see if we could box it up, bring it back and get another one coming. Due to the time that we had purchased the table to the time we were assembling, Walmart said we had to contact Lifetime. We did so on the following Monday. Lifetime said that it must me the power coating and that we need to take pictures and send to them for them to consider any help. So we went back to my parents on the following Sunday and took the pictures. We sent the pictures and at this point, they said to use sandpaper to remove some of the powder coating. So we went back to my parents to start sanding, after sanding for about 1/2 hours on 1 of the 8 hinge legs, I said this is crazy. I called Lifetime to let them know I wasn't willing to take a day sanding the legs to make it work. They hesitantly sent new rails and leg hinges. Once we received these, we went back to my parents and tried to assemble the table. Once again, same thing. I called Lifetime to let them know that the parts were bad again and that I would simply like a new table sent that I can assemble. The response was that they wanted me to measure the pipe size and rail hole size and then drill the holes out. I went to Home Depot, bought a stepdown drill bit ($80.00) and was able to get things put together. I called Lifetime to let them know what the measurements were and let them know I fixed the problem. As compensation for my time, several trips to my parents and $80.00 spent on a tool for a 1 time use. I asked if they would send me parts to make another complete table since they had already sent me 1/2 of the table parts to correct their problem. Their response was "We will send you a $100.00 gift card to Walmart". Well I have $80.00 wrapped up in a tool I don't need and my time is worth much more that the $20.00 for 3 trips to try and fix their problem. Very disappointing from a company that we have purchased several tables from and tout that they have great customer service. Hate to say it, but I will not be purchasing anything else from Lifetime. Very very disappointed that they wouldn't properly step up. For those that are considering this table, beware that you will most likely run into the same assembly problems that I have.

Unfortunately, the braces do not slide easily into the J Channel as demonstrated in the video. In fact, they don’t seem to fit at all. Was this made in China?

I second this statement. Trying to assemble this as we speak.

[@Styx2749]

@@MH-zb8ze I had to call the company and order new parts, but when the parts came they had sent me the wrong parts. I then had to reorder the parts, but when those came, they didn’t fit either. So, I had a friend use a drill to create/widen holes in the appropriate places to make it fit. Horrible experience with these tables. I suggest returning them if you can and buying from a different company.

I am trying to unfold my table. I cannot get the benches to extend.
