7 Piece Patio Dining Set for 6, 67 Inch Acacia Table with 1.96 Inch Umbrella Hole and 6 Lattice Back Armchairs

On an all timber outdoor set the legs sit in whatever collects on a patio. That end grain wicks water up, and it is where the greying, the swelling and eventually the splitting start, long before the top shows anything.

Here the legs and chair frames are powder coated metal and the acacia is used for the tabletop, the backrests and the armrests. Nothing wooden stands in a puddle, and the wood you do oil is the wood you can reach.

Six chairs around 67 inches

Two armchairs down each long side and one at each end of the 67 in table. Each back carries an X shaped lattice in acacia over a black metal frame, with a foam padded cushion tied to the seat.

The frame under the wood

The maker's panel names it: a sturdy powder coated metal frame with non slip foot pads, described as large load bearing, not easy to deform and stable. That coating is the part doing the work at ground level.

The lattice, close up

Natural, smooth and long lasting are the maker's three words for the acacia, and the inset shows the simple slatted backrest from behind. Air passes through the X rather than stopping at a solid panel.

What sitting in it is like

Three things the maker picks out: a backrest tilted rather than upright, a foam padded cushion, and built in armrests. The seat is 18 in wide and sits 16.5 in from the ground under a 30 in tabletop, which leaves 13.5 in of lap room, a little more than the usual dining figure.

67 in by 35 in at 30 in high with a published 355 lb capacity, which is high for an outdoor table.

On the table legs and every chair, with non slip foot pads where they meet the ground.

Published for each of the six chairs over the coated metal frame.

Drilled through the middle of the top. The maker says an umbrella stand is required and neither it nor the umbrella is included.

An X pattern cut into each back rather than a solid panel, with acacia armrests to match.

Elastic sponge filled cushions tied to the seats, with removable zipped covers for washing.

The backs lean rather than standing upright, which is what makes a long meal bearable in a hard chair.

Under every leg, so a heavy set does not skate on wet decking or scratch a smooth patio.

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.

Metal legs with a powder coat take standing water far better than timber ends do.

Six matching armchairs around 67 in of table, laid out two a side with one at each end.

Only the top, the backs and the arms need oiling, which is a smaller job than an all wood set.

Sixty seven inches is longer than most six seat outdoor tables, so the centre stays clear for serving dishes.

What we stand behind

• Table and chair measurements and both capacities are read from the product's own dimension drawing.
• The 1.96 in umbrella hole is the manufacturer's figure, and they state an umbrella stand is required and not included.
• One lifestyle photograph on this listing shows plain slat back chairs rather than the X lattice back chairs that ship. Go by the studio photographs.
• No cushion thickness, fabric weight, foam density or UV rating is published, so none is claimed.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Which chair actually ships?

The one with the X shaped acacia lattice back, shown in the studio photographs and on the dimension drawing. One lifestyle image on this listing shows a plain slat back chair instead, which is a different product.

How much weight will the table take?

Three hundred and fifty five pounds, published by the manufacturer. That is high for an outdoor dining table, where 165 lb is a more common figure, and it comes from the metal frame under the acacia top.

Will six adults fit at a 67 inch table?

Comfortably, laid out two down each long side and one at each end. That gives about 33.5 in of table edge per side place, which is the spacing normally reserved for formal indoor dining.

What do I need for shade?

An umbrella and a stand, neither of which is included. The table is drilled at 1.96 in, which sits inside the 1.75 in to 2 in band most patio dining tables use, and the manufacturer says specifically that a stand is required.
