Our "Forever" furniture is unique in the marketplace. Because we mill our own wood, the boards on our picnic tables are cut a full two-inches by six inches thick. Most outdoor tables and benches are usually one inch or one-and-a-half inches thick. Today's standard two-by-six is actually only one-and-a-half-inches thick and five and one-quarter-inches wide. Our true two-by-six-inch board has 52% more wood. The extra thickness and girth significantly increases the feel, appearance, sturdiness and durability of the furniture.
