Did you get the wrong picture, this table is not the same as the one
referenced directly above. Top and seat supports are on the inside on
one and out side on the other. And the top and bottom material do not
seem to be the same thickness in both pictures.


Good eye. My son built two of these, one for a high school project that
he donated to an OldTimers nursing home, and then one he made for me. I
had to look back and forth to see they were a bit different. Both were
built around the same time, from the same plans he got off the internet.

I wouldn't worry about sitting on PT furniture, and really wouldn't
worry about it after it was coated with paint. I wouldn't eat the stuff,
but even bugs and mold isn't dumb enough to eat that crap. The biggest
downside (imo) to PT is cutting and sanding it. I hate working with it,
but wouldn't worry much unless I did it for a living, day in and day out.
