Abstract
A convertible bench/table apparatus in one embodiment of the present invention as including a seat member, a means for supporting the seat member, and a backrest/tabletop member. Connected to the means for supporting the seat member is an armrest assembly that provides structural support to the backrest/tabletop when the convertible bench/table is pivoted from the bench position into the picnic table position. A hinge means accommodates for the pivotal movement of the convertible bench/table into either the first or second position, and is rigidly attached to the armrest assembly and the seat member providing a point of rotation thereon.
