4 Piece Patio Set with Open Mesh Rattan Seating, 105 Degree Angled Backs and 31 in Solid Acacia Coffee Table, Mix Brown

Most outdoor wicker is woven tight and solid. On a hot afternoon it holds everything against your shirt, and after rain the weave stays damp for hours before anybody can sit in it.

These backs are woven as an open mesh with gaps you can see through, so air moves straight past your shoulders and water runs off. The backrest sits at 105 degrees, which the maker publishes as a figure rather than a claim.

Mesh backs and an acacia top

One loveseat, two armchairs and a solid acacia coffee table. The backs are an open square mesh of rattan rather than a solid panel, on black metal sled frames, with beige seat cushions.

Sizes and ratings

Loveseat 44 in wide with a 41 in seat, 25 in deep and 31 in high, rated 800 lb. Armchairs 30 in by 22 in with an 18.5 in seat, rated 400 lb. Coffee table 31 in by 20 in and 17 in high, rated 110 lb.

The angle they published

The inset puts a figure on the backrest: 105 degrees. That is a slight recline rather than upright, which is why the set suits an afternoon rather than a quick coffee. Alongside are the sponge fill and the washable cover.

Square woven mesh with gaps through it, so air passes where your shoulders sit and rain runs off rather than soaking in.

A published angle rather than a vague claim about ergonomics. Slightly reclined, which is what suits an hour outside.

A 31 in by 20 in acacia top rated 110 lb. The maker asks you to oil it now and then to keep it looking right.

Published ratings of 800 lb for the loveseat and 400 lb per armchair, carried by an X shaped frame with a reinforced crossbar.

Every leg adjusts, so a piece that rocks on settled paving can be levelled without a shim under it.

The cushion covers come off for washing, which is what keeps a pale seat pad usable past the first barbecue.

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

An open square mesh back lets air through where a solid weave traps it. On a July afternoon that is the whole difference.

The coffee table is solid acacia rather than glass or board, which gives the set a warm surface at its centre.

A 44 in loveseat and two 30 in chairs around a 31 in table. That is four places without a dining set footprint.

What we stand behind

• Dimensions, the 105 degree backrest angle and the 800 lb, 400 lb and 110 lb capacities come from the manufacturer's own Product Dimensions and feature images.
• The coffee table is solid acacia. The maker's own note asks for regular wood oil, which is not included.
• The maker's note to avoid prolonged rain exposure is printed rather than buried.
• No UV rating and no foam density are published, so neither is claimed.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What does the 105 degree angle mean?

It is the recline of the backrest, published by the manufacturer. Ninety degrees would be bolt upright. At 105 the back leans slightly, which supports your spine for a longer sit without turning the chair into a lounger.

Is the coffee table real wood?

Yes, solid acacia, and the manufacturer's own note asks you to apply wood oil regularly for optimal care. Oil is not included. Left untreated, acacia weathers to a silver grey without losing strength.

What are the weight ratings?

Eight hundred pounds on the loveseat, 400 lb on each armchair and 110 lb on the coffee table. A stable X shaped structure with a reinforced crossbar carries those figures under the mesh.

Can it be left out in the rain?

The manufacturer's own note is to avoid prolonged rain exposure for a longer service life. The open mesh itself drains fast, but the cushions are the part to take care of, and their covers are washable.
