Tabletop boards are 5 3/4" W, this is why the widths run in 5 3/4" increments. Picnic tables have a default Height of 30 1/4". Any of the dimensions shown can be altered if you require a custom height or width. Just let us know.
If the table is going to be used for meals, there is a common upgrade often made that you should be aware of:
If you plan to place food platters on the table, a 36" W tabletop is a bit narrow to hold both food platters and provide enough space for place settings on both sides of the table. Also, if you'd like to have comfortable place settings on the ends of the table that do not conflict with someone sitting on the side corners. Adding an extra 6 or 12 inches (to a 42" or a 48" W tabletop) not only creates the space in the center for the food platters, but also creates a place setting on both ends of the table. As far as useful space, you create more by adding a foot in width than a foot in length.
Benches, whether attached or unattached, have a bench top width of 11 1/2". Unattached benches have legs that flare out to 17" at base/ground level. If you choose end tables with your set, they are built 6" shorter than the width of the table to ensure the benches don't bump into the side benches when used close to the table. Just let us know if you'd like something different.
Bench top, Tabletop and leg boards are 1 7/8" thick. All tables over 8 'L have legs made with 2 7/8" thick timbers for proper support. All tables over 10' L have 3 sets of legs for proper support. The 10' table is usually made with just 2 sets of legs, but if you'd like a third set of legs, just let us know in the comment section at checkout (no extra charge).
The following table weights were calculated using the default 36" tabletop width in Redwood. Douglas-fir weighs approximately 20% more:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Side Benches Only | Add End Benches | |||
| 4-Ft | 4 | 6 | 100 lbs. | 160 lbs. |
| 4.5-Ft | 6 | 8 | 110 lbs. | 175 lbs. |
| 5-Ft | 6 | 8 | 125 lbs. | 185 lbs. |
| 6-Ft | 8 | 10 | 150 lbs. | 210 lbs. |
| 7-Ft | 8 | 10 | 170 lbs. | 240 lbs. |
| 8-Ft | 10 | 12 | 190 lbs. | 270 lbs. |
| 10-Ft | 12 | 14 | 230 lbs. | 330 lbs. |
| 12-Ft | 14 | 16 | 300 lbs. | 410 lbs. |

Seating:
Seating estimates by length of table vary slightly depending on the selected seating configuration (adding End Benches generally adds 2-4 additional seats depending on table width). The Forever Picnic Bench (with flared leg) is the default style of bench used. If you'd like a different style, please see the option offered under Advance Options.
