Hi Darla: I have this one, and have had it for over 30 years and changed the wood out once. You can make it up to 6 feet long (I wouldn't go any longer) and it uses 2 x 4's and changes into a bench or a table. It's a kit, very easy to put together and I just love it! Give it a thought if you don't have a lot of people to seat, or you just want something cool in your yard:) And, it costs about $45 from Amazon with free shipping! Doesn't get any beter than this:)
