6 Piece Acacia Patio Dining Set for 6, 55 Inch Table with 2 Inch Umbrella Hole, 4 Chairs and a 51 Inch Bench

Seating six outdoors usually means six separate chairs. In October that is six trips to the shed, six chairs taking floor space until May, and six things to wipe down every spring.

This set seats six from five pieces: four chairs and a 51 in bench rated to 800 lb. The bench slides under the 29 in tabletop when it is not in use and it is one carry rather than two when the season ends.

Four chairs and a bench

A 55 in by 27.5 in slatted table with four chairs and a 51 in bench. The bench takes the long side and the chairs fill the other three, which is how five seats become six places.

The chair, close up

A curved backrest rather than a flat one, and a slatted seat rather than a solid board. The slats are what let a shower run through instead of sitting on the seat waiting to soak into somebody's trousers.

Under the tabletop

Three details from the maker: powder coated metal legs, edges rounded rather than cut square, and adjustable foot pads. The pads are what let a 55 in table sit flat on paving that has settled.

The bench

Fifty one inches long, 14 in deep and 16.5 in high, with a published 800 lb capacity. Crack resistant, long lasting and natural are the maker's words for the acacia, and the surface is slatted like the table.

Four chairs and a 51 in bench, which the manufacturer states seats six people together.

Published for the bench, with 400 lb per chair and 165 lb across the tabletop.

Takes most standard patio umbrellas. The maker notes a weighted base is required and is not included.

Metal where the load and the standing water are, acacia where you see and touch it.

So the table and the seating can be levelled on paving rather than shimmed with a folded card.

Gaps across the tabletop, the chair seats and the bench, so rain drains instead of pooling.

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.

Three small people fit on a 51 in bench where two chairs would only take two, and adults take the chairs.

Five pieces to move at the end of the season instead of seven, and the bench slides under the table.

A 2 in umbrella hole is drilled and ready, though the weighted base is a separate purchase.

How does it seat six with five seats?

Four chairs and a 51 in bench. Two adults sit comfortably on the bench at everyday spacing and three children fit without trouble, which with the four chairs gives six places around a 55 in table.

Is the bench the right height for the table?

The bench seat sits 16.5 in from the ground and the tabletop is 29 in, leaving 12.5 in between them. The chairs are a little higher at 17.5 in. Both fall in or just above the 10 in to 12 in range furniture guides call comfortable.

What does the umbrella hole take?

Two inches, which suits most standard patio umbrellas. The manufacturer says specifically that a weighted base is required and not included, because a hole locates a pole rather than holding it down.

How does it arrive?

In four boxes, and the manufacturer notes you may receive them at different times. The acacia wants oiling regularly according to the same maker, and no oil is supplied.
