Customer Reviews for Outdoor Essentials 72 in. x 28.5 in. x 28.5 in. Premium Picnic Table Kit with Hardware included

We ordered the kit online, then picked it up at the store. A complete kit, no problem assembling, although we used extra screws to make it extra strong. The reason for the 4 stars is the quality of the lumber used... Lots of cracks and machine marks. After some router work and lots of sanding, and several coats of sealer, it's very nice looking, very sturdy. We're very satisfied, a fun project for my daughter and I!

Overall. The tables are great! The only nuisance was how rough the wood was and how much it took to sand it. Otherwise, great!

Sturdy well built, easy to stain and looks great

This picnic table is everything you expect a picnic table to be.

Pull the cardboard off, and every surface that faces up is utter junk. They must only use pieces from the junk piles that no one else wanted. Not only is this going to require hours and hours of sanding, my guess a gallon or 2 of wood filler too. JUNK

sometimes its not worth getting it. its too big, hard to bring it down, and heavy.

The tabletop is splashed with orange dye, or paint, in addition to large swaths of what appears to be white primer. There are rough edges and splintering corners on most pieces. There are also knotholes grouped near the center of the table. The cardboard wrap with open ends and loose strapping made the whole thing difficult to transport.

In this case you get what you pay for…we had to sand these tables quite a bit to compensate for the very rough edges on some pieces. We painted them as well which was also another preventative step for dangerous edges and rough patches. They will work great ultimately but did requires some work.

Easy to put together and great product

Match the seat supports. Drilled holes didn't match. Holes need to be drilled the same distance from each end. AE

Worst quality ever. The pieces weren’t even cut at the right angles.

Some of wood looked like it was used wood from another project and was not a grade a type wood class

The thing about this budget friendly table is that you have to be willing to do some work. Not only will you put it together but you must sand the entire table and also treat it with weather proofing varnish. However, if you are willing, this is a very durable, economical seasonal item which is great for kids, schools, etc.

Strong and inexpensive

Sturdy and high quality parts and workmanship

Holes on legs and cross brace are factory drilled INCORRECTLY! Here's the trick, only install the inside bolts of the legs and loosely tighten. screw the too of the supports flush to bottom of table and aligned to the cleats. Screw in tips of vertical supports to cleat. Now redrill the cross support hole in the correct place and insert bolt and tighten both bolts. Good luck!

MY KIDS WENT TO HOME DEPOT AND GOT ME THIS TABLE FOR WHEN MY GRANDKIDS COME VISIT THEY BOTH MADE SURE TO ASK IF IT WAS SEALED THE SALES PERSON SAID YES AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF RAIN I NOTICED IT WASN"T I WENT BACK TALKED TO ONE OF THE SALES REPS SHE SOLD ME THE SEALER IT LOOKED GOOD FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS THE WHOLE TABLE SET IS BULKING UP ITS TRASH THE BIGGEST WASTE OF MONEY VERY DISSATISFIED

Good price. Fair quality, convenient for outdoor use.

the screws for the support pieces were too long and came through the top of the table, one set of predrilled holes didn't line up with the corresponding pieces...wood isn't very good, but it's a picnic table.

Love love love. Good value

Both benches had construction problems from the factory. The quality of the wood was poor with bark & rough cuts. I am planning to the issues with the store manager.

I received the picnic table with only three legs and one table top brace. The wood was the lowest grade I’ve seen. I knew it would be pretty low grade wood, but not with huge chunks missing from the 2x6 planks. You definitely get what you paid for.
