2x4basics AnySize Picnic Table Kit, Sand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.

2x4basics AnySize Outdoor Dining Table Legs (Top not included), Sand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because we want to wait before buying a proper outdoor furniture set that can cost up to $800 for the kind of furniture that we like.
The plastic construction of the product is very strong and looks very durable.
The instructions are straight forward. 10 pieces required, 2 for the main support and 8 for the top. I used 6 pieces of Trex instead of 2x4s for the top.
(See pictures of the light sandy colored topped trex table.)
It was a bit tricky to access all the screw heads to get them in so that all went in at a slight angle. Also there is a very slight wobble left to right, but nothing bad at all and it is very sturdy if you're eating on it. There is no wobble forward to back. Leveling is perfect. There are a few alignment problems but that this cost, who cares. You can't even really notice them.
This thing is heavy. I'm in a windy area and I know that this wont blow over.
Total cost is around $90 with the Trex and short 2x4s for support.
Trex costs around $16 per 8ft piece. I used 3 of these.For $90, I doubt I will find anything as big, strong and durable as this. When we eventually get our furniture, This table will sit at another part of the deck.
Update: 05/20/2010
It's been nearly a year and the table is still solid and stable - exactly how it was when I built it. We've now bought our final furniture and placed this table at the corner of the deck. It has served us well and it now great to support things like a radio or grilling accessories. The plastic construction is very durable. Couldn't be happier.

2x4basics AnySize Chair or Bench Ends, Sand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just finished assembling a 2x4basics AnySize Bench 11200 and am very happy with it. The bench assembly took a little longer than I thought it would. I think I worked on it for about two hours. I wasn't counting on having to drill pilot holes for the dozens of screws (included) that had to be used putting the bench together. Nor did I figure on spending so much time figuring out how to best sink the screws into the underside of the boards. Don't worry about slanting the screws into the wood a bit. It is impossible to get a drill into a perfect position for making a 90 degree hole. Most of the screws do not show anyhow.
It was necessary to tip the bench over in order drill pilot holes and to get at the screws. I had to clamp the 2x4's to the plastic/composite ends to keep them from falling off or moving out of position. I would recommend using a couple of small carpentry clamps to hold things in place while putting the bench together.

I had the 2x4's sanded and painted prior to attaching them to the plastic/composite ends so that took a little time, but probably not more than an additional hour. That probably saved time in the long run. Making this bench with the 2x4 basics kit is not a difficult project.
The 2x4 basics bench is solid and not all that heavy, but it isn't going to blow over in a high wind. I am quite satisfied with how the bench came out and somewhat surprised at how substantial it is. I thought it might twist and perhaps wiggle side to side--nope, it is a rock.
I am so pleased with this approach to building patio furniture that I will be recommending the product to friends.

2x4basics Flip Top Bench Table Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Easy to follow instructions. Just add 9 ea. 2*4's. We made ours from 6' PT lumber. Two benches can be converted to a picnic table for added space when needed. I would not make this any longer than 6', even though the instructions indicate you can. Much beyond 6', you'd get a bow when average weight people sit. Even at 6', we had to add a stabilizer on the underside of the seat portion to give added strength to the 2*4's. One other caveat - be careful where your hands are located when lifting this. We assembled it on a table and then had to lift it to the ground. In the "bench" position, the back does not lock and can easily flip up and pinch fingers - as we now know from experience. It is, however, a nice project and gives versatility when entertaining. I'd have rated it a "5" if the back locked in place.
