I wanted to make a black and brown picnic table, this one turned out really nice and it gets a lot of compliments.
I, also, reinforced the 2x6s used for the seats by boxing in 2x4s underneath. I just cut 4 53" (probably could have been 54" honestly) and mounted them to the bottom of the seats and screwed them into the seat cross members. This should keep them from flexing.
