2 Seater Solid Wood Patio Bench with Built In 2 Tier Table and 1.57 in Umbrella Hole, 63 in Wide, Chairs Rated 265 lb

A bench gives you seating and no shade. Free standing cantilever parasols cost more than the bench itself, and a table umbrella needs a table with a hole in it, which most benches do not have.

The centre table is part of this frame and it is drilled at 1.57 in, which takes most standard patio umbrella poles. The maker is clear that neither the umbrella nor the base is included, and a base is needed to stand the pole up.

The bench as one piece

Two armchairs and a table in a single frame. Slats run across the seats and up the backs, and the table between them carries a second shelf lower down.

The measured panel

Sixty three inches wide, 25 in deep, 35 in tall. The panel marks 265 lb at each chair and 90 lb at each shelf, and prints the maker's two care notes underneath.

The hole, measured

One and a half inches and a bit, drilled clean through the slatted top. The panel above it states plainly that an umbrella base is needed and is not included.

Where the comfort comes from

Three numbered points: a backrest leaning at 105 degrees, armrests wide enough to actually rest on, and a slatted seat that lets air through rather than holding heat.

One and a half inches plus, sized by the maker to take most standard patio umbrella poles. Umbrella and base are both extra.

Printed on the manufacturer's dimension panel, with 90 lb marked at each shelf.

The centre table ties the two chairs together, with a second shelf underneath for books or a tray.

The record gives the backrest angle as 105 degrees, which is a lounging lean rather than a dining upright.

Gaps between the slats let rain drain and air move, so the seat is not holding water after a shower.

The maker names a reinforced crossbar in the frame and calls the surface splinter free.

An umbrella hole in the table is the cheapest route to shade over a two seater.

Solid wood with a splinter free finish. It asks for oil now and then, and the maker says so on its own panel.

A shelf under the table for a book and a top for the cup, both reachable from either seat.

What we stand behind

• The 63 in by 25 in by 35 in size and the 265 lb and 90 lb capacities come from the manufacturer's own dimension panel.
• The maker's care notes are printed here rather than buried: avoid prolonged rain exposure, and oil the wood surface regularly.
• The record says solid wood without naming a species, so no species is claimed.
• Neither the umbrella nor its base is included. The maker's own panel says so.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will my umbrella fit the hole?

The hole is 1.57 in. Most standard patio umbrella poles fall in the 1.5 in to 2 in band, so measure yours at the pole rather than at the canopy. A pole thicker than 1.57 in will not pass through.

Do I still need an umbrella base?

Yes. The manufacturer states it plainly: umbrella base needed, not included. The table holds the pole upright but not down, and an open canopy in wind puts real force on it.

What wood is it?

The record says solid wood and does not name a species, so we do not either. What the maker does say is that the surface is splinter free and that it should be oiled regularly to keep it looking new.

Can it stay outside all season?

The maker asks that it not sit in prolonged rain and that the wood be oiled regularly. In practice that means a cover, a sheltered spot, or accepting that bare wood outdoors weathers to grey. Either way keep the legs out of standing water.
