Lifetime80305 Portable Folding Bench, White

This 6-foot foldable table with a carrying handle has been perfect for my 16-year-old son's soccer games. We've used it as a bench, and it comfortably seats four teen boys. It’s sturdy, stable, and has held up great so far. No issues at all—very happy with the quality! Also, it's easy to assemble and then disassemble.

2025-03-08. Fold-in-half bench by Lifetime. 6-feet. White.Model: 80305Dimensions:Open: 11.41"D x 72.04"W x 16.53"HClosed: 11.5"D x 36.8"W x 3.5"HThese benches are the perfect complement to the Lifetime 6-foot tables, whether they are also the fold-in-half tables, or the stackable ones. These benches are made with the same High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic as their tables. One of the biggest complaints about HDPE is that UV-Rays is their kryptonite. To combat this, Lifetime has added a UV-protectant into their resin before molding making the unit highly resistant to UV Rays.These benches also use the same powder coated steel for their legs making them rust resistant.There are many fold-in-half benches out there my many different manufacturers, but I've grown to rely on Lifetime Products. I first tried them over 20 years ago, and I have not had any major issues with their products. I've also tried other brands and honestly speaking, have not encountered any issues with those either. I prefer Lifetime for these benches because I like their design better. In particular, their design with the fold in legs.1. The support brace for the legs touch the ground. If you look at the pictures, you'll notice that there is a horizontal piece at the bottom of each leg that sits fully on the ground. Others may have a horizontal piece for support, but they may be raised off the ground, and only the two poles of the legs actually touch the ground. It's probably just as strong, but mentally, I like the horizontal piece touching the ground. In my mind, this is safer as there is not possibility of the leg end poking you during handling. Mentally, I think it may also help with stress on the bench as it will distribute any weight it bears over a larger surface.2. The middle leg folds. With some benches, the center leg is fixed and points straight down the middle. Both sides of the bench fold up to cover the center leg. With these Lifetime benches, the center leg folds in like the other two. This design also calls for the same locking joint and ring which, again, provides me mental assurance for strength, support, and stress distribution when carrying a load.3. Lastly, these benches have a small mechanism to "lock" the bench in place when fully opened to prevent accidental collapse or fold-in when picked up. This safety switch is located at the center of the bench where it folds. It's bright red and hard to miss. There is a "locked" and "unlocked" symbol clearly telling you what position the locking mechanism is set in. This is a big safety bonus as well as it pretty much eliminates the possibility of getting your fingers caught when moving the bench while it's fully opened (a feature you want to look for if you're looking for foldable benches.)Right place at the right time... I recently picked up a couple of more 6-foot tables in preparation for a graduation party this summer. In general, I prefer the benches of the chairs because of easier portability and storage. But I also realize that benches are definitely not as comfortable as chairs. Honestly speaking, I was looking at lower priced benches from other vendors that had the same style legs I was looking for (the horizontal bar touching the ground) to save some $$, but then I came across this and it was priced the same or cheaper! That sealed the deal for me. I am familiar with Lifetime Products quality so I went with them. Currently (at time of this posting), they're on sale for 1/3 off the RRP of $60! This is the same price as you would get in those big membership warehouses back in 2018!Overall, I don't foresee any issues with these benches. I own some already (in the almond color) and I'm picking up more because I recently got some extra tables.

The bench is very high quality and serves my purpose for holding my many plants on my sun porch. It looks nice and is easy to wipe off the dirt from the plants.

Bought to use with our 6ft lifetime table so we can have a picnic table . Very functional. Sturdy. Very pleased.

I also have Lifetime 80191 Light Commercial Folding Chair, White Granite with Gray Frame, 4 Pack, but these benches are much more useful and convenient. Folded, the length is exactly the same as Lifetime 25011 Fold In Half Commercial Table, 6 Feet, White Granite and 1/3 the width.At our last kids' backyard birthday party, we had 2 tables each with 2 benches and 2 chairs at the ends, easily fitting 10 people each. Third table was used for buffet-style food and drinks. We feel like suckers for having before rented tables & chairs, especially since the party renter was late dropping them off!Pros:+ Each comfortably fits 4 adults or 5 kids. Even for wide guests, they may find the bench roomier than folding chairs.+ 2 folded benches only take up the space of 2 folded chairs for easy cleanup, storage, and transportation (even compact car trunk will easily fit multiple benches). Perfect for cheering at school games.+ Convenient carry handle and lightweight. I can easily carry 4 benches at once, the equivalent of 16 seats, whereas I can only comfortably carry 4 folding chairs at once.+ The bar-style base prevents them from sinking into or toppling on grass+ Less than half price compared to 4-pack of regular folding chairs from same company: Lifetime 80191 Light Commercial +Folding Chair, White Granite with Gray Frame, 4 Pack + 800 lbs capacity, whereas most competitors only support less than half, suitable only for kids+ Matches perfectly with Lifetime 25011 Fold In Half Commercial Table, 6 Feet, White GraniteCons:No back support, but it's a bench...

We are using this in our pottery studio as a table between the wheels - not for sitting. It is sturdy, cleans easily and was easy to set up. There were a number like it available, but this was the best prices.

Great bench and fair price. We are using a pair as an ultra-portable 2 x 6 personal riser for the performance of Indian classical music. We installed latches underneath but to be frank they were not even necessary. With an Indian carpet on top, and thanks to their wide bases, they act as one. Compared to spending $400 to $2500 for a proper riser, this is an amazing value. We bought a 7 x 16 x 36 padded keyboard soft case and everything fits snugly for easy portability. (A bit heavy, but that is why these benches are so good.)As for normal use, we have a similar folding table that we sometimes use on the patio for extended seating at dinner parties. Great for double-cuty.

These benches are EXACTELY what you are looking for to make the most of your booth space - they elevate and create more space. They are sturdy and can be used for a number of different purposes. They are easy to fold up and store. I have lots of other Vendors come ask me about them for their own booths. Highly recommend!
