Lifetime Picnic Tables

Lifetime Picnic Tables - Outdoor Pation Furniture



Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, Lifetime Products had an 8 ft. folding Picnic table. This table fit 8 people comfortably and was the premier product for many campgrounds and church groups. For some reason, this Lifetime Picnic Table product was discontinued and was nowhere to be found unless you were looking for the 400 lbs. enormous, industrial style picnic table. For most people, that is probably not the case. Then about 2 months ago Lifetime Products suddenly brought it back. In the past, this has been a great selling product for us, and with this new model Lifetime appears to have made some improvements, which has allowed them to extend their factory warranty on this model to 10 years, instead of the 2 year warranty offered on the 6 ft. models. The new model number is 80123.

What we are looking for now is for customers to submit reviews on this model when the purchase it. We want to see what people think of this model compared to the original 8 ft. model, the current 6 ft. models, and / or what people think of it overall. Please submit your reviews in the comments section of this post.

Lifetime Table Fold in Half Information

Lifetime Table - Fold in Half Tables from Lifetime Products



Lifetime Products designs many new and very original products. One of those is their fold in half Lifetime Table. This table creates a whole new convenience that never has been seen in a Lifetime Table and not yet really duplicated in the folding table market. The idea with the fold in half table is to make the table even more mobile and easy to store than a traditional folding leg table. This is done by placing some hinges along the center and creating a seam so the unit can fold in half. By doing this, the folding width is doubled, but you also lose the other half of the table top surface area jutting out in case it needs to be fit in a smaller area like a closet or in the back of a vehicle.

With this new design also comes some set backs. Some customers have mentioned to us that the fold in half Lifetime Table is uneven long the seam. We asked Lifetime Products about this and they did acknowledge that this is possible, but only when the legs are on uneven surfaces. If you are experiencing this, you should attempt to even up the ground it is placed on so that the table top is as level as possible, and that should eliminate the problem.

The other concern we have heard about from customers is that on the round 60 inch fold in half units, the legs stick out when it is folded in half, thus you do not have just the half moon table top shape, but the legs sticking out about a foot on either side. This is not a design flaw. We have been told by Lifetime Products that this is because the size of the unit that the legs must stick out in the folded position. The old round 48 inch fold in half table allowed the legs to fold into the table top, but this was just because of the smaller size. A customer that had brought this to our attention also asked about this 48 inch model, as she has not been able to find it at either Sam's Club or Costco. We inquired about that to Lifetime as well, and we will be able to offer the 48 round fold in half Lifetime table again in about 2 months. We will keep you posted.

Maintaining a Competitive Edge

Competitive Edge Products, Inc. Customer Service Statement



It has been a long time since we have posted to this blog, so we figured this would be as good a time as any to give our customers an update on the happenings at Competitive Edge. In the past year, and very recently, through continuing to provide excellent service, we have exceeded 15,000 positive feedbacks on eBay. This was a great accomplishment, as eBay has continued to incorporate more and more changes to their seller accounts making it more and more difficult and competitive to maintain high seller status. By having as much support from out customer base as we have, we have been able to maintain high seller status, which minimizes our fees, and thus allows us to sell our product lines at a cheaper price to you, our valued customers.

Beyond the eBay changes, Competitive Edge Products, Inc. continues to simplify the ordering process and automate the outcomes so you are provided with the same service every time in a timely manner. We welcome any feedback and input from our customers that would better enhance your shopping experience with us. Thank you.

Holiday Tables

View our Holiday Tables listings for additional specs and information.

With the beginning of the holiday season right around the corner, many people will be looking for some tables for their parties. There are a few different choices from a couple of manufacturers that you might consider.

Lifetime Products offers probably the most versatile and economical of choices for folding tables. There tables are made with polyethylene plastic, which will not fade, crack or peel in the sunlight. This makes the suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The steel is powder coated and therefore rust resistant. Also, they are sufficiently sturdy and well constructed that Lifetime offers a 5 year warranty on all of their tables. They are relatively lightweight and therefore are easily stored and moved. The have choices of square, rectangular, and circular tables to choose from. There short comings most likely lie in sturdiness. While they are very well constructed they are made of lightweight material.

Another option would be to go with the rectangular melanine folding tables from manfucaturers like Correll, Inc. These are very sturdy tables. Melanine is a material like particle board, but is very high density. You also have a choice of having a laminate top as well. These tables are darker colored than the Lifetime folding tables and therefore would be very suitable for children coloring, painting, or doing other potentially messy activities. Some these tables are foldable and others are a adjustable in height. The foldable ones are overall less sturdy then the adjustable height tables, but you obviously would get added convenience with a foldable table.

Folding Card Table

Lifetime Products offers a large variety of folding card tables. There used to be many different varieties available, including tables that had grooves for playing cards. These have since been discontinued, which has limited some of the use. Nevertheless the 37 Inch Lifetime Folding Card Table is a great product for many uses.

Lifetime Basketball

Many of our employees here grew up with a Lifetime Basketball system of some sorts. I had a portable Lifetime basketball hoop in my driveway that was purchased some 11 years ago. This basketball hoop has been exposed to sub zero temperatures, over 100 degree temperatures, rain, snow, high winds, and just about everything else you can think of. In fact during one particularly bad wind storm, gusts exceeding 80 mph, the entire unit fell over and landed directly on the rim. Through all of this the unit is still in working condition and in overall good appearance. The backboard graphics still look nice and nothing has broken. There are not too many basketball hoops that can boast this kind of reliability.

Lifetime Folding Tables

View our selection of Lifetime Folding Tables.

Lifetime Folding Tables are great for indoor and outdoor use. We have found that they are useful not just for their well constructed sturdiness, but for the attractive look and design. Many of our customers who purchase Lifetime folding tables are schools, churches, wedding planners, and those just wanting a great folding table for home use.

Lifetime Folding Tables work in most every situation because they are made from stain resistant high-impact polyethylene plastic. After talking to an employee at Lifetime Products we found that the only thing they have trouble getting off these folding tables is paint. We are not childrens water color or acrylics either. We are talking heavy duty, industrial paintsl. Other than that, they have yet to find anything they will not easily come off these folding tables.

Here are some customer's comments and reviews of Lifetime Folding Tables:

Bought 15 tables! Great quality, fast shipping, good customer service, Thanks!
