Hi Kirsten!
We purchased and assembled these with treated wood for use in a school garden: Amazon.com : 2x4basics 90110ONLMI 90110 Flip Top BenchTable, Bench, Patio Table, Sand : Picnic Tables : Patio, Lawn & Garden
It’s cheaper initially because you just get the plastic components and then find your own lumber. They’ve been great! Easy to construct and simple to transform & move around the garden. Happy to answer any other questions you may have!

Hi Kirsten,I have these benches and after 12 years they look like this: see picturesProsThey are light and interchangeableThey are durableThey clean fairly easilyFits 6-8 elementary sized students when paired as shownConsThe surface degrades over time such that it turns powdery. We refurbish using steel wool which has the unwanted issue of plastic micro particles.Pencils and similarly shaped objects get caught on the table surface between the slats, sometimes falling through to the ground. We have solved this issue with a table sized cutting board.White tables highlight soiling. Be prepared to clean often- a chore our students love!Good luck,Pam

Hello! I have a number of schools where they have long, narrow space for seating for students. I wanted to get them seating that could also convert into a work space.
