3 Piece Patio Rocking Bistro Set, 2 Sling Rockers Rated 330 lb with 22 in Seats, Wood Plastic Armrests and Glass Top Table, Black

Buying a rocker online is guesswork. The photographs show it standing still, the copy says gentle, and you find out how far it really travels when it is built and the back of it is against a railing.

This maker gives the figure: a 30 degree rocking motion, drawn and labelled on its own panel. That is a short sway rather than a porch rocker's long swing, and it is why the chair works on a balcony where the wall is close behind you.

Two rockers and a table

The seat and back are a single stretched panel, the runners curve under the frame, and the armrests are a light wood look composite. The table is square with a tempered glass top.

Every published figure

Table 17.5 in square and 16.5 in high, marked 70 lb. Chair 27 in wide, 35 in front to back on the runners, 29 in tall, seat 22 in wide and 16 in from the ground. Marked 330 lb.

The arc, with a number on it

The traced path carries a figure: 30 degrees. The insets show what controls it, a stopper at the end of the runner and an anti slip pad underneath.

Out on the deck

Along a railing on boards. Thirty five inches of runner front to back is the floor space each chair needs, and the short arc means the rail behind stays untouched.

Thirty degrees, marked on the maker's own motion panel. Almost nobody publishes this figure.

Printed on the manufacturer's dimension panel, with 70 lb for the coffee table.

Wider than most sling chairs, and the maker labels it a widened seat on its own comfort panel.

A composite arm with a wood look, which does not need oiling and is easier on bare skin in strong sun than metal.

Safe stoppers limit the swing and anti slip pads sit under the runners, both shown in close up by the maker.

Breathable, tear resistant and quick drying in the maker's words. There is no cushion to store or soak.

A 17.5 in square top on the side table, wiped clean with one cloth.

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.

A short 30 degree arc, so a rocker works where a porch rocker would hit the wall behind.

Twenty two inches across the seat, labelled as widened on the maker's own comfort panel.

Sling fabric rather than pads. Nothing to store, nothing to cover, nothing to wring out in August.

What we stand behind

• Chair and table sizes, the 30 degree arc and the 330 lb and 70 lb capacities come from the manufacturer's own panels.
• Breathable, tear resistant, quick drying and anti fading are the maker's descriptions of the fabric, not test results of ours.
• No UV rating, fabric weight or set weight is published, so none is quoted.
• The armrest material is named as wood plastic by the maker without naming the composite, so no further claim is made.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How far does the chair actually rock?

Thirty degrees, which the manufacturer publishes on its own motion panel. Most brands do not give a figure at all. Thirty degrees is a gentle sway rather than a porch rocker's long swing, which is why it works on a balcony.

How much weight will a chair take?

Three hundred and thirty pounds per rocking chair and 70 lb for the coffee table, both marked on the manufacturer's dimension panel.

Are there cushions?

No. The seat and back are one panel of breathable, quick drying fabric stretched over the frame. Nothing has to be brought indoors when it rains and nothing blows away.

What are the armrests made of?

A wood plastic composite with a wood look texture, named by the maker. It does not need oiling and it does not get as hot as a bare metal tube in full sun.
