A picnic table is an essential piece of outdoor furniture for anyone who loves to dine al fresco with friends and family. But a convertible one would be a great idea. Not only does it provide a great place to enjoy a meal, but it can also be easily converted into a makeshift seating area when needed.
By converting the table into two separate benches, you can easily create more seating for larger gatherings. Plus, the added flexibility means you can use the table for other activities, like playing games or working on a project.
