Lifetime products are so simple to own, ready to use and easy to maintain. Our patented technology also gives you the assurance that every table and chair is safe and built strong enough to live up to the Lifetime name. High Impact Polyethylene Lifetimes high impact polyethylene is a proprietary mix that makes our tables and chairs stronger, lighter and more durable than wood. It will not crack, chip or peel and is formulated to withstand extended wear and tear and the harshest elements. Stain resistant and easy to clean. UV Inhibitors Lifetimes high density polyethylene is an FDA grade plastic that includes premiere UV-Inhibitors that make the table very resistant to heat and extended exposure to the harmful UV rays of the sun. Power Coating Formula Lifetimes protective and decorative powder coating makes our steel parts more resistant to chips, scratches, and regular wear and tear. It also makes parts resistant to corrosion and protects them from UV damage, making it a great all weather finish. Zinc Plated Brace Link Our zinc plated brace link is welded to ensure that the brace is secure and safely locks when the table is opened. Mar-Proof Leg Caps High impact plastic leg caps provide our tables and chairs with a stable and balanced foundation, preventing the all-weather steel tubing from leaving marks on the floor or scraping the ground. Superior Screws The screws we use in assembling our tables and chairs have threads that are larger than the slots in the channels, providing superior contact and ensuring that the screw stay secured.
