Can the benches be removed so that the play area could be bigger?

Yes, by removing the hinges. But if that's the design you like, save money and nail some pressure treated boards together. We find the play area is just right for our baby and 4 year old or two 4 year olds.

It looks very possible to do so by removing the hinges but keep in mind the benches are also the cover that protects it. I imagine you could always just lay it on top to close it up. Hope that helps.

Yes. The benches double as the lid, which is only attached by three (cheap) hinges on each side. Unscrew those and you've got a wider sandbox...just no cover so hopefully the cats stay away at night!

no they are hinged on and fold over to cover the sand...they do not come off...

I believe you can by removing the middle level. The levels snap together so it shouldn't be a problem removing the middle.

Yes. The bench is very heavy and well built. Has to be flipped to lower or raise legs.

Hello, I have the benches for about 2 years now and lots of people have been using it. They are very versatile, solid and comfortable. You always can put some cushions on top of it.Thomas

No. Bigger problem is that it is very difficult to line up all the parts so that everything fits perfectly. I never could. Other than that , nice bench- it weathers to a grey.

Yes. The bench can be set up so the long side and short side are reversed from how it is shown in the picture.

it can be removed. it has some hard lugs at that position that make it not a perfect place to sit, but you could.

You could if you had to but I wouldn't recommend it. There are metal bars/slats across the bottom with space between them (not solid). I don't believe that would be comfortable. I got the chairs with the cushions - love them!

I'm sorry that I can't help you. The bench didn't quite fit the area for which it was bought -- vanity area (it was too high.) So, I returned it.

You would definitely have to take the cushions out. It would still fit just a bit awkward. I only did it once

It has quite a bit of space but you need to compare the cushion measurements to the bench dimensions

If not planning to use the changing table yes you can remove it. But one sides legs is the crib

You could choose to not bolt the play bars on. The structure bolts to the top. You would just have a drawer on top thats all

No, but you can leave a shelf out to make the spaces larger/taller if you need to.

just a little larger than the bench itself. You can pretty much use those dimensions.
