3 Piece Acacia Wood Patio Set, 2 Slatted Armchairs Rated 400 lb with Navy Cushions on Fixing Ties and 18 in Side Table

Two chairs and a table

Acacia throughout. The backs are a lattice of short rails, the seats are slatted beneath the cushions, and the table repeats the slats on its top.

Every published figure

Chair 25 in wide, 25 in deep, 33 in tall. Table 18 in in all three directions. Weight capacity 180 lb for the table and 400 lb for each chair.

By the pool

On a terrace above the water. Slatted seats matter here: somebody sits down wet, the water goes straight through rather than sitting in the frame.

The wood, close up

The grain running along the slats, with the maker's three claims beside it: crack resistant, splinter free and natural. No coating or treatment is named.

Marked on the manufacturer's own weight capacity panel, with 180 lb for the side table.

Frames, arms, slats and tabletop. The maker calls the wood crack resistant and the surface splinter free.

Air moves through the slats and water drains rather than pooling, which the maker gives as the reason for the design.

Ties hold the pads against the frame instead of leaving them loose to slide or blow off.

Soft elastic filling under covers that unzip, so the fabric can be washed properly.

Unusually high for a table this size, and the reason a heavy planter is not a worry.

Shaped rather than square, with an ergonomic backrest behind them, both named by the maker.

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.

Navy shrugs off splash marks, and a slatted seat drains rather than holding water.

Fixing ties hold the pads to the frame. They still come off on a zip when it is time to wash them.

One hundred and eighty pounds on an 18 in top, which is far more than most side tables claim.

What we stand behind

• Chair and table sizes and the 400 lb and 180 lb capacities come from the manufacturer's own weight capacity panel.
• Crack resistant and splinter free are the maker's descriptions of the wood, not test results of ours.
• No cushion thickness, UV rating, foam density or set weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Acacia outdoors needs oiling to keep its colour. That is general timber guidance rather than a manufacturer claim on this listing.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Why a slatted seat under a cushion?

Two reasons the maker gives: air moves through it so you do not sit in a sweat, and water drains instead of pooling in the frame when the cushion is off. It also means the cushion dries from underneath.

What keeps the cushions in place?

Fixing ties, which the maker names and photographs. The covers unzip separately for washing.

How much will the little table hold?

One hundred and eighty pounds, marked on the manufacturer's own weight capacity panel. That is high for an 18 in table and means a full cooler is not a problem.

What happens to acacia left outside?

It weathers to a silver grey. A coat of outdoor oil once or twice a season keeps the warm colour you see in the photographs. Either way keep the legs out of standing water and bring the cushions in dry for winter.
