LIFETIME 80305 6 Ft/1.83 m Fold in Half Bench, White, 9.8 cm*96.0 cm*30.5 cm

Bought: 04/2025Used indoors for stage seating on wooden flooring.Pros:1. Beautiful packaging. The bench is very easy to understand how to open and close. Quick and easy, and has a lock to prevent it from closing in when you turn it right way up.2. Enough to seat about 4-5 people. Perfect to fit between a stand.3. Good hard-duty plastic seating, which is comfortable to sit on. Even with a fabric over it, it doesn't make you slide because it is textured. I can understand how this would be fine outdoors. The middle is designed nicely, with no obvious gap and the height is just slightly below average chair height so blends in nicely.4. It doesn't slide or leave scratch marks on the floor, which is nice. Not too heavy to move around when opened, even able to step on it for quick reaches, but it does say no standing.5. It stores folded up, with seats closing up like a suitcase, very nicely designed so it doesn't get caught in anything and easy to put away. So convenient to store, and doesn't even look that bad if visible.6. It is thin enough and to even be used as an exercise bench but I would check on the weight limits just in case.Cons:1. Quite heavy, don't understand how this is supposed to be portable, but the strap handle on the side does seem strong.2. It does take a bit of effort to snap out from folded state, as it is quite rigid, but once you understand, it's not so bad. It does look confusing at first to open when folded, but the ends of the bench meet with curved edges and should be opened out from that side, unlike the middle which has metal bars sticking out. It doesn't have any instruction manual as it's directly on the packaging, so it might be hard to straighten the legs out at first: you have to push the legs out and then pull the diagonal metal bar fully out, as this holds the legs from closing in. When closing, all you have to do is push the diagonal metal bar in, and the rest folds in easily.

Currently using as seating in our garden. Good, strong bench. Very easy to unfold and set up. Not too heavy but is nevertheless sturdy. Pleased with the value for money.

Excellent and very sturdy

I have placed 3 orders with Lifetime: 2 folding benches and 1 folding table. There is no deviation in quality and these are very lightweight very stable items. Can easily support 3 adults per bench and there is a locking mechanism for every leg.I initially bought a competitor product which arrived with a huge hole in the supposedly 'thick heavy duty plastic'.Amazon delivery and customer service are topclass and I was fully refunded without having to return that other brand's damaged item.Lifetime products are better made and I highly recommend them, for £30 per bench and £50 per table it is worth it. I wish they did a bundle of the 3 items!

Good sturdy bench that's handy to have around for BBQ season (all two weeks of it!), packs away nice and neat with a handle for easy carryingBought it on a whim when it was on offer at about 40% off and it is great at that price. At the full price , it's probably still a good buy but I'd have been less likely to do so but that's more to do with the fact it wouldn't see much use so a bit hard to justify.I can't comment as to the longevity s it's only been used once for a party but it did take the weight of three small/average adults with no concerns about it collapsing

This Lifetime bench has a strong feel to it, it has flat bottom feet so don’t sink into soil, sand or mud, it has a lock on hinge so won’t collapse when picking up and moving, it has a clip that holds it shut, similar to a pipe clip used in plumbing, it has a fabric handle with a PU Leather effect grip to stop it cutting into your hand,Dimensions:182 cm long,29 cm Depth,42 cm High,4.5 cm Seat Thickness,93 cm long when folded in half,9 cm thick when folded up15 lb in weightDelivery was next day, highly recommended both the seller and brand for built quality

Love! Bought 2 to go with a table that looks similar. Perfect height, length and easy to set up, pack down and store. Just what I needed!

And yes it arrived & wasn’t damagedIt was truly a most successful experiment on Christmas Day in how to use a robust folding bench to its maximum advantage on both sides of my previously bought several years ago folding 8ft long table plus at both ends two smaller benches plus not a chair insightThinking outside the box won the day over which then lead to New Year’s Day round two not a single issueBrilliant idea for seats why didn’t I think of it years ago the problem only arose when my kids turned into adultsThen it’s pack it alway into its home space until Easter then off we go againSo in conclusion the transaction was a really smooth process the benefits of benches over chairs was great they were easy to handle weight wasn’t an issue functionality was perfect and long live the benches finally so easy storing then no contestWe’re happy thank you hopefully see you soon👍😊😉🥳⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
