11 Piece Patio Dining Set for 8 with 15 FT Double-Sided Coffee Umbrella, 75 Inch Acacia Table and 8 Rattan Armchairs

Plenty of outdoor tables are advertised as eight seaters on a length that only really works for six. The two people in the middle of each long side end up eating with their arms tucked in and their plates overlapping.

Three chairs across a 75 in side leaves roughly 25 in of table edge per person, inside the 24 in to 27 in range dining guides use for everyday meals. The two end places take the count to eight without stealing from anyone.

Eight places, counted out

Three armchairs down each long side and one at each end, around a table 75 in long. Every chair has a beige cushion and acacia armrests, and the top is acacia slats set into mix brown weave. The canopy and base make up the eleven pieces.

A table with things on it

Laid up, the 36 in width leaves a clear strip down the middle for serving dishes while everyone still has their own space at the edge. The chairs are 22 in deep, so there is room to pass behind a seated guest on the open sides.

What eight people sit on

High density sponge under a cover that unzips and lifts away, described by the maker as ergonomic, skin friendly and washable. Each cushion is 18.5 in wide and 2.3 in thick, sitting 16 in off the ground on a woven seat base.

The weave on all eight

Mix brown PE rattan, hand woven over metal, on every chair rather than on a token few. Breathable, fade resistant, sun protective and hand woven are the maker's own words. What shows is a close, even wrap with no loose ends at the corners.

A 75 in by 36 in tabletop works out at about 25 in of edge per place with three chairs down each long side.

All eight are 23.5 in across the arms, 22 in deep and 32 in tall with 25 in backrests and a 400 lb rating.

Opens 15 ft across and 8.5 ft deep at 8.2 ft overall height, leaving 6.2 ft of clearance under the rim.

Lights along both halves of the canopy, shown lit in the manufacturer's own evening photograph.

Acacia slats across the table and along every armrest, set into a mix brown PE rattan frame.

A 2.4 ft square tray only 0.5 ft deep, filled with sand or water and sitting flat under the table.

Against a 29 in tabletop that leaves 13 in of lap room, at the roomy end of what dining guides call comfortable.

Every seat cushion cover unzips, which is the only realistic way to clean an outdoor cushion properly.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Enough table edge that the inside places are not squeezed, with a cushioned armchair at every seat.

A coffee canopy over brown weave and acacia keeps the whole set in one tone rather than three.

Shade by day from a 15 ft canopy and light after dark from the beads on its ribs, without a lamp on the table.

What we stand behind

• Table and chair measurements, canopy span, height, clearance and base size are read from this listing's own dimension drawing.
• The 350 lb table and 400 lb armchair capacities are the manufacturer's printed figures on this listing.
• Seating advice comes from published dining guidance on table edge per person, not from the manufacturer.
• The written specification block gives a 71 in table and a 17 in seat height, which the drawing contradicts. The drawing is used.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Is this really an eight seat table?

For everyday meals, yes. Three chairs across each 75 in side gives about 25 in of edge each, and dining guides put everyday spacing at 24 in to 27 in. For formal settings that want 30 in a person you would seat six and use the ends for serving.

How much space does the whole set need?

The table alone is 6.25 ft by 3 ft. Add 24 in to 30 in behind each chair to push back and 36 in wherever someone walks behind a seated guest, and plan on roughly 12 ft by 14 ft of usable ground.

What colour is the furniture?

Mix brown PE rattan with acacia wood on the tabletop and armrests, and beige seat cushions. The canopy is the coffee part. The colour field on the record lists the entire umbrella range rather than the one that ships, so go by the photos.

Can the cushions be left outside?

They are made for outdoor use, but they last considerably longer in a deck box or indoors between uses and over the winter. The covers unzip, which makes that easy. No fabric weight or fibre content is published, so wash cool and air dry.
