The Convertible Bench functions as a bench with a back or a bench with a table. Beautiful simulated wood will not fade, warp, or rot from weather exposure like real wood and it requires no special maintenance to look as good as new for many years. Bench seat and table top are designed with slats which allow for quick drainage of rain and snow. A one-hand latch mechanism easily converts the back of the bench to a handy table with easy access to bench in just seconds. Very sturdy and stable. Buy one convertible bench to create a handy space saving table, or buy two convertible benches and put them together to form a full-size picnic table.
