clever design table or bench

i can see this applied to an indoor location with a finer wood choice

would be great for a studio type apartment or small kitchen

well wobbly can be fixed but usually that has to be inherent in the
design and implementation

a playroom or a workroom that could do double duty

it could be taken a step further and fold up again so it has a smaller
profile then the bench

Many years ago, for my first home that had a small covered patio,
I built a pair of patio benches that converted to a picnic table -
- very similar to this :

a bit too wobbly for a table but OK as benches.

that would benefit from these.. even if they were better designed

Agreed. I had a couple of sets of those, though the "frames" were
structural plastic (foam?), with 2x4 seats and 2x6 tops. I used them
for seating around the pool and, of course, they made into great
picnic tables at meal time.
