This table is 6 feet long and the center post is 6x6x1/4 Inch. The slats are 2x3 Inch to create a finer, more elegant look. Slats are attached from the back side using stainless steel fasteners. Recycled plastic is UV protected and will maintain its good appearance for many years with little or no maintenance. The recycled plastic is reinforced as needed so your table won't sag in time. This picnic table can come equipped for a surface mount or in-ground mount
