Lifetime Plastic Folding Tables Design and Other Information:Lifetime plastic tables feature a plastic table top and steel folding frame. Both parts, the top and frame, are treated to allow for both indoor and outdoor use. An important design feature to note is on the round tables is a leg feature on the 60-incb and 72-inch round table models. On the 60-inch and 72-inch round plastic tables, Lifetime Products connects a set of two adjacent legs with an extra frame support bar on either side of the table. This bar effectively makes two letter "Hs" in look. This feature is there to help support the table top better than if the legs came straight down only; thus, the H-bar, as it is sometimes referred to as, provides a greater weight capacity on the table top.
