A collapsible bench comprising:

• a bottom member having a leg extending downwardly from a bottom portion thereof;
• a first side member that is detachably connectable to a first side portion of the bottom member;
• a second side member that is detachably connectable to a second side portion of the bottom member;
• a top member having a lateral support member fixedly connected thereto, the lateral support member being detachably connectable to the first side member and the second side member;
• and
• wherein the first side member is defined by a top and a pair of legs that connect to and extend downwardly from the top;
• wherein the pair of legs are sized to have a length so that a bottom of the pair of legs extends to a distance similar to a bottom of the leg that extends downwardly from the bottom member;
• wherein the second side member is defined by a single leg that is sized to have a length so that a bottom of the single leg extends to a distance similar to a bottom of the leg that extends downwardly from the bottom member;
• wherein the lateral support member is defined by a first end and a second end;
• and wherein the first and second ends include connection members that extend outwardly therefrom;
• wherein the first side member includes a first connection member receiving slot formed therein;
• wherein the second side member includes a second connection member receiving slot formed therein;
• and
• wherein the connection members on the first end and the second end of the lateral support member are configured to mate with the first connection member receiving slot and the second connection member receiving slot to connect the lateral support member to the first side member and the second side member.

A collapsible bench kit comprising;

• a container;
• a collapsible bench that is moveable between an assembled position and a collapsed position, the collapsible bench comprising;
• a bottom member having a leg extending downwardly from a bottom portion thereof;
• a first side member that is detachably connectable to a first side portion of the bottom member;
• a second side member that is detachably connectable to a second side portion of the bottom member;
• a top member having a lateral support member fixedly connected thereto and extending downwardly from a bottom portion thereof, the lateral support member being detachably connectable to the first side member and the second side member;
• a plurality of fasteners configured to connect the first side member to the bottom member and the lateral support member, and the second side member to the bottom member and the lateral support member;
• wherein the assembled position is defined as the bottom member, the first side member, the second side member, the lateral support member and the top member being connected to one another to form an assembled bench;
• and
• wherein the collapsed position is defined as the bottom member, the first side member, the second side member, the lateral support member and the top member being detached from one another and configurable in a substantially flat configuration;
• wherein when the collapsible bench is in the collapsed position, each of the bottom member, the first side member, the second side member, the lateral support member, the top member and the plurality of fasteners are positionable within the container.
