ABSTRACT:
A folding bench that can be sat on and hold food thereon and transport food and other objects has a pair of substantially similar halves hingedly connected to each other. Each half has a frame with a slatted seating surface. A leg is foldably attached to each frame and folds within the confines of the frame when the bench is closed for transport and unfolds when the bench is open and in use. As the two halves come together to close the bench, an interior space is formed which interior space can hold various objects. Retaining apparatus can be located on one or both halves for securing the objects securely within the interior space. Each half has a handle which may have one or more arcuate openings that can hold a cylindrical object such as a drink cup.
