Customer Reviews for Dura-Trel 8 ft. White Vinyl Patio Picnic Table

We purchased two of these picnic tables for our company. It took a little know how to assemble, other then that, these picnic tables are sturdy, clean, looks great in our outdoor location. Everyone is very happy with this purchase!

Great product... assembly a little challenging but not bad. Very easy to keep clean and maintain... hope it lasts as long as they claim!! ;o)

A lot of fasteners!!! All the holes lined up and had the right amount fasteners.Very sturdy. I like it, even more important is my wife likes it too.

It’s beautiful but not sure it’s strong enough to hold 8 adults. It also didn’t come with bolt covers for the inside bolts so someone doesn’t scrap their leg getting in and out. So I had to go back to Home Depot and modify little plastic covers and glue them on. It should have had wood through every slat to maybe make it stronger?

Beautiful picnic benches - took some time to assemble, but look very nice and are heavy duty for the teenagers and adults who will be using them!

I wanted to love this table! I read the reviews before I purchased which basically the overall opinion was either love it or hate it. The table itself is ok. Putting it together was a NIGHTMARE!!! Pre-drilled holes did not line up at all. I hated winging it since I knew this could throw off how the table would look & sit. Then all but one end cap was too small. So 13 of 14 caps barely pop on & they do not sit flush. The plastic boards for the top were not straight width wise. Another customer mentioned they added wood to the benches to strengthen them. I plan on doing this myself. The company should automatically include wood for all slots in the benches as it feels flimsy at my weight of 125lbs. Even my teenagers said it felt weak to sit on. Will I keep it? Yes, only because it took so long to put together & I don't want to try it again with another company. Overall it looks okay minus all the end caps that do not fit! I will be contacting the company to see if I can get replacement caps. My suggestion, heed all the warnings of past customer reviews. The customers who said it was easy & great in my opinion obviously had someone else do it for them! Do it with a buddy & allow for at least four hours for the project, if you're not a perfectionist. If you're perfectionist this kit will tick you off!!! The only bonus I see is at least I won't have to paint it every few years. Now I hope it doesn't yellow over time.

Lengthly assembly process. Holes lined up well once you separated the seat boards from the table boards. Also shimmed the wood supports inside PVC boards so mounting screws went in to them for added strength and stability ..I didn't use the adhesive on the end caps because they did not fit properly PVC was distorted had to machine ends of PVC boards and screw them on and touch up with white paint on screw heads.. The average home owner may have difficulty.. Also braces under center of table top make it impossible to drill 1 1/2 inch hole for umbrella.

loved it/ adding boards to the benches for reinforcement

This picnic table seats a lot of people (about 10-12), it is easy to clean and it looks very nice.

Impossible to assemble without cutting and drilling. Our crew of 5 had years of experience in assembling. It was impossible to assemble this item. The holes did not match on many of the items, especially the cross support sections. The adhesive (glue) contained in the package did not contain ample glue for all of the end covers. It was missing some screws (easy to find replacements though). Took us over 4 hours to assembly. We finally had to cut the cross members, measure and re-drill the holes. Extremely poor quality assurance. Only gave it 2 stars because, when completed, it is a very attractive table. Also, it would be nice to have the umbrella hole pre-drilled.

Flimsy at best

very flimsy in the middle I had to make some more supports for it but other then that its decent

Table was extremely difficult and time consuming to assemble. Many of the holes did not line up so we had to drill most of the holes on our own. I typically enjoy assembly but this one was not well manufactured. Once it is together is it nice but people over 100lbs should probably not sit in the center of the bench as it bends significantly. I am 120lb and it is fine but my husband is 220lb and he needs to sit on an end where there is more support. Looks great though!

The 8 ft. picnic table is solid and the vinyl coating will protect it so it looks great while lasting a long time.

I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT BUT MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIES INCLUDED. WE WERE MISSING SOME OF THE BOARDS THAT GO INSIDE AND HAD A HARD TIME TRYING TO GET YOUR CO. TO GIVE US SOME AND NOT CHARGE US.

Once it is assembled and up it is a 5 on the scale of 1-10. We have built houses so nothing to do with experience or skill level here. 90% of the holes that take the screws or bolts did not line up. Had to drill new, drill out to fit and/or relocate holes. The nonsensical 2"x2" wood pieces they use for reinforcement slide all over the place while trying to assemble making it a 2 person job (ridiculous). And no plastic caps to cover the ends of bolts.which would have cost them all of $1.00 were not provided. The price of this table should be $99.99...maybe. SO called HD customer service and gave us a 15% credit. Said we should have returned it by taking it apart. Yeah right, I'm going to do that after about 4 hours of assembly based on the above. Two good things...they give you enough hardware and once it is up it is an OK table. Poor design and manufacturing job to say the least. Probably was not done in Detroit, USA. For $442 I would expect that it would be.
