6 Piece Acacia Patio Dining Set, 63 Inch Table, Four Armchairs and a Bench That Moves Indoors

From October a patio set is a pile under a cover, taking up the space it earned in July. Every piece is designed for one job in one place, so there is nothing to do with any of it until the weather turns again.

The manufacturer shows this bench in three roles beyond the table, as a garden bench, a dining bench and an entryway bench. It is 48 in of solid acacia rated to 800 lb, which is plenty for boots and coats in a hall through the winter.

Five or six places

Two armchairs at the ends, two down one side and the 48 in bench down the other, which the manufacturer rates for two. That gives you five comfortably or six at a squeeze on a 63 in by 32 in top.

Three details worth having

A slatted bench seat so rain runs through rather than pooling, corners taken off the tabletop rather than left square, and reinforced joints at the frame. The corners matter most on a table people walk past.

One bench, three other jobs

Forty eight inches long, 14 in deep and 18 in high, rated to 800 lb. The manufacturer photographs it as a garden bench, a dining bench and an entryway bench, which is a fair description of a plain acacia bench with nothing on it.

The hole, covered

1.97 in across with a wooden cover and a block underneath to protect the cut boards. A base is needed and neither it nor the umbrella comes with this order.

48 in by 14 in at 18 in high, rated well beyond the two people it seats at the table.

The manufacturer lists DIY painting, so the set arrives bare rather than in a fixed finish.

Slatted solid acacia at 30 in high with rounded corners, rated to 165 lb.

Published for each of the four armchairs, which measure 22 in by 25 in by 34 in.

1.97 in, with a wooden cover and a protective block fitted underneath.

On the chair cushions, which the manufacturer calls skin friendly and breathable.

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.

Four chairs with backs and a bench for two, which is the shape most families actually are.

The bench has somewhere to be in winter rather than sitting under a cover doing nothing.

Bare acacia that takes oil, stain or paint, rather than a finish chosen for you.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above and all three weight capacities come from the product's own dimension drawing.
• The manufacturer rates the set for five to six people and the bench for two. Those are their figures, not our arithmetic.
• High hardness, splinter free, warp resistant and built to last are their words. No wood grade, finish or coating is published, so none is quoted.
• Their care instructions are to apply wood polish oil regularly and to avoid leaving the set out in the rain. Neither the oil nor a cover is included.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How many people does it seat?

The manufacturer says five to six, with the bench taking two. Four armchairs plus a two person bench on a 63 in by 32 in top is five comfortable places and six if everyone is friendly.

Can the bench really be used indoors?

It is a plain 48 in acacia bench rated to 800 lb, and the manufacturer photographs it as a garden, dining and entryway bench. Bring it in dry and give it a wipe first.

Does the bench come with a cushion?

No. The cushions in this set are on the four armchairs. The bench seat is slatted acacia, which is what lets rain run through it.

What upkeep does the wood need?

The manufacturer asks for wood polish oil regularly and says to avoid leaving the set out in the rain. Neither the oil nor a cover is included.
