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

The three pieces

All acacia. Lattice backs, slatted seats under the cushions, and a slatted tabletop that matches. The cushions are cream and sit on the seats only.

Read off the panel

Chair 25 in wide, 25 in deep, 33 in tall with the seat marked 21.5 in across. Table 18 in in all three directions. Weight capacity 180 lb for the table and 400 lb per chair.

On a rug by the house

Set on a rug against a wall. Pale cushions do best close to the door, where they are easy to bring in when the forecast turns.

The cushion, opened up

Elastic filling, a zip along the cover and ties holding the pad to the frame. On a cream cushion the zip is not optional, it is the reason the colour works.

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.

Cream on honey acacia is the gentlest pairing in the range and the easiest to live with indoors as well.

Functional zippers on every pad. Pale outdoor fabric is only worth owning if the cover comes off.

One hundred and eighty pounds on an 18 in top, which is generous for a table this size.

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.
