9 Piece Metal Patio Dining Set for 8, 76 Inch Table and Eight 360 Degree Swivel Rocker Chairs, Black

At a table for eight you are boxed in on both sides. Standing up means pushing your chair back across paving or decking, usually with a scrape, and sitting down again means pulling it in with somebody else's chair in the way.

These chairs sit on a swivel base that turns through a full circle, so you rotate out and stand up without the chair moving at all. The same base rocks back 15 degrees, which is what turns a dining chair into somewhere you stay after the plates are cleared.

Eight places on a 76 inch top

Three chairs down each long side and one at each end. Each side place gets about 25 in of table edge, past what a setting takes, and the 36 in width leaves a clear strip down the centre once everything is laid out.

A full circle, and a lean back

The base is a 22 in ring with a swivel above it. The manufacturer publishes both figures, a 360 degree turn and a 15 degree rocking motion. The turn is what gets you in and out. The rock is what keeps you there afterwards.

Thirty nine inches of chair

The back stands 39 in from the ground with a 22.5 in padded panel, high enough to reach the back of your head rather than stopping at the shoulder blades. The manufacturer marks four zones on it, neck, back, lumbar and hip, on a shape curved rather than flat.

Three hole sizes in one table

The opening steps down through 2.36 in, 1.97 in and 1.57 in using the fittings supplied, so whichever common pole you own goes through it. A removable lid closes the hole when nothing is in it and a bottom fixing hole holds the pole lower down. A base is still needed.

On every one of the eight chairs, over a 22 in ring base.

Published as a figure rather than described, which is unusual on an outdoor chair.

With a 22.5 in padded panel and four support zones marked by the manufacturer.

2.36 in, 1.97 in or 1.57 in, with a removable lid and a bottom fixing hole.

Slatted, at 29 in high, rated to 245 lb on a reinforced frame with anti slip foot pads.

Published for each of the eight swivel chairs.

Breathable and padded in one panel, so there is no separate cushion to store.

Under the tabletop, with firm connections and anti slip pads at the feet.

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.

Turning out of a chair rather than reversing it is worth a surprising amount when eight people are seated.

A 39 in back and a 15 degree lean is closer to a lounge chair than anything else that pulls up to a table.

Three hole sizes in one table means whichever pole you have already, it goes through.

Eight matching chairs on a 76 in top, each one rated to 330 lb.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above, both weight capacities, the swivel and rocking figures and the three umbrella hole sizes come from the product's own dimension drawing and specification block.
• Breathable, wear resistant and quick drying are the manufacturer's words for the fabric. No fabric weight, UV rating or fade warranty is published, so none is quoted.
• The manufacturer states an umbrella base is needed and that neither the umbrella nor the base is included, and asks that rain exposure be avoided for prolonged service life.
• Swivel chairs do not stack, and the manufacturer publishes no winter storage instruction for this set.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Do all eight chairs swivel?

Yes. Each of the eight sits on its own 22 in ring base with a 360 degree swivel and a 15 degree rocking motion, both published by the manufacturer.

Which umbrella poles fit?

Three sizes in the same hole. It steps through 2.36 in, 1.97 in and 1.57 in using the fittings supplied, with a lid to close it and a fixing hole underneath. A base is still required and is not included.

Can the chairs be stacked for winter?

No. A swivel base is what makes these chairs work and it is also what stops them nesting. The manufacturer publishes no winter instruction, so plan on floor space or a cover.

Do they come with cushions?

No separate cushions. The padding is built into the sling panel itself, so the chair is padded and there is still nothing to carry indoors before a shower.
