1. Unpack all components and verify against the parts list (refer to your product's specific assembly guide for detailed parts list).
2. Carefully unfold the table legs and bench supports. Ensure all locking mechanisms are securely engaged.
3. Attach any remaining components as per the detailed assembly instructions provided with your product. Pay close attention to aligning holes correctly to prevent stripping screws.

Operating Instructions

The Lifetime picnic table is designed for versatile outdoor use, perfect for picnicking, outdoor dining, and various recreational activities.

• Usage: The table is suitable for outdoor environments. It can comfortably seat up to 8 people.
• Umbrella Hole: A 1.7-inch diameter umbrella hole is integrated into the tabletop, allowing for the use of a standard patio umbrella to provide shade during sunny conditions. Ensure the umbrella base is stable and weighted appropriately.
• Folding for Storage: For convenient storage, the table folds flat. To fold, disengage the locking mechanisms on the legs and carefully collapse the table and benches. Two individuals may be required to safely fold and move the table due to its size and weight.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your picnic table.

• Cleaning: The high-impact polyethylene surface is stain-resistant and easy to clean. Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the surface.
• Frame Care: The bronze steel frame features a powder-coated, weather-resistant finish. Inspect the frame periodically for any signs of rust or damage. Touch up any scratches with appropriate outdoor paint to prevent rust.
• UV Protection: The table surface includes UV inhibitors to protect against fading and cracking from sun exposure. While designed for outdoor use, storing the table in a shaded area or covering it when not in use can further prolong its lifespan and maintain its aesthetic.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during off-seasons or extreme weather, fold the table flat and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent unnecessary wear and tear.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Lifetime picnic table, consider the following common solutions:

• Table Wobbles or is Unsteady:
  • Ensure all bolts and fasteners are securely tightened. Over time, connections may loosen and require re-tightening.
  • Verify that the table is placed on a flat and level surface. Uneven ground can cause instability.
  • Check that all leg and bench locking mechanisms are fully engaged after unfolding.
• Assembly Difficulties (e.g., Holes Not Aligning):
  • Double-check the assembly instructions to ensure all parts are oriented correctly. Sometimes a slight rotation of a component can resolve alignment issues.
  • Do not overtighten screws, especially those threaded into plastic, as this can strip the threads. Tighten until snug, then give a quarter turn.
  • If possible, have a second person assist during assembly to help align parts and apply gentle pressure.
• Table Surface Gets Hot in Sun:
  • This is a characteristic of polyethylene materials when exposed to direct sunlight.
  • Utilize the integrated umbrella hole with a suitable patio umbrella to provide shade and reduce surface temperature.
  • Consider placing the table in a naturally shaded area of your backyard if available.
