Table & Chair FAQ
- Where can I purchase a Lifetime table or Lifetime chair?
Visit www.competitiveedgeproducts.com to purchase Lifetime products online. - What is the warranty on the Lifetime table?
Warranty depends on the actual product, as well as the product line. - How do I file a warranty claim?
All Warranty Claims must have 3 pictures of the damaged parts, a copy of a dated sales receipt, and a brief description of what has happened to the product. Report product defects in writing to: Lifetime Products, Inc., PO Box 160010, Clearfield, UT 84016-0010. - Where is the model number that I need to register my product?
The model number is often stated on the product label near the UPC. The UPC code is 12 digits long; the four numbers given as the eighth to eleventh digits are the model number. - What is polyethylene and why is it better than wood?
Polyethylene is a plastic that is virtually indestructible. It resists chipping, cracking, or peeling, unlike particleboard laminates. It is more durable, easier to clean, lightweight, and ideal for indoor and outdoor use. - What makes the steel legs weather-resistant?
The manufacturer uses a powder coating process that coats bare metal with electro-statically charged powder, which is then baked at a high temperature. Lifetime also adds a hammer-tone finish, which is a textured coating resistant to scratches. - What is BIFMA and why is it important?
BIFMA stands for Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturing Association. BIFMA sets industry standards for commercial-grade furniture, and Lifetime tables meet these standards. - How much weight can it hold?
These products meet BIFMA standards for strength and durability, ensuring they support heavy loads in commercial and residential settings. - Will it fade outdoors?
Products left in the sun for extended periods may eventually show wear; however, UV inhibitors help maintain the integrity of the polyethylene and provide long-lasting color. - Will it stain?
The non-porous surface resists tough stains, including red punch, permanent marker, mustard, and motor oil. - How do I clean it?
Most messes can be cleared with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. For stubborn dirt, a mild abrasive cleaner and a soft-bristle brush will restore the surface.
