9 Piece Acacia Patio Dining Set for 8, 79 by 35.5 Inch Table with Open Legs and Eight Cross Back Armchairs

Plenty of outdoor tables run a rail between the legs a few inches off the ground. It stiffens the frame and it also sits exactly where a person's feet want to be, so every meal involves somebody finding it with an ankle or resting a heel on it and slowly sliding off.

This table stands on four tapered metal legs with the bracing up at the top, under the tabletop, rather than down at the floor. The space under the table is clear from one end to the other, which is worth more at a table for eight than at a table for four.

Eight places on a 79 inch top

Three chairs down each long side and one at each end. Each side place gets about 26 in of table edge, past the 24 in a setting takes, and at 35.5 in across the top keeps a strip free down the centre for serving.

Three things about the seat

A soft padded cushion, a cover that unzips for washing, and straps that hold the pad to the chair so it neither slides under you nor leaves with the wind. The manufacturer calls the last one easy fixation and removal, which is a fair description of a strap.

The wood, and the frame under it

Solid acacia on the top and the chair frames, which the manufacturer calls natural, anti crack and elegant. Underneath is a high strength metal tube frame, which is where the stiffness comes from and why the legs can be as slim as they are.

A 1.9 inch hole

Through the middle of the top, which is the most common market pole size. Two conditions are printed beside it on the manufacturer's own photograph. It fits most standard umbrellas, and an umbrella base is needed. Neither the umbrella nor the base is in the box.

Four tapered legs with the bracing up under the top, and nothing between them at floor level.

Slatted solid acacia at 29.5 in high, rated to 165 lb.

An open X worked into each backrest, 22.5 in wide, each rated to 400 lb.

Strapped to the chair so they stay put, with zipped covers for washing.

High strength tube under the acacia on both the table and the chairs.

Through the centre of the top. A base is needed and neither it nor the umbrella is included.

From the ground, under a 29.5 in tabletop, on a 24 in deep chair.

One table and eight chairs, split for shipping because of the size of the set.

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.

Clear floor under a table for eight is the sort of thing you only notice when it is missing.

Eight matching armchairs on a 79 in top, each one rated to 400 lb.

Open cross backs and slim legs, so eight chairs and a long table stay visually light.

Each pad straps to its chair and still unclips when you want it off for the winter.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above, both weight capacities and the 1.9 in umbrella hole come from the product's own dimension drawing and specification block.
• The product title says 35.5 inch table, which is the width. The drawing gives the top as 79 in long by 35.5 in wide, and both figures are used here.
• The clear floor under the table is described from the manufacturer's own photographs and drawing, which show no rail between the legs. They make no claim about it themselves.
• Natural, anti crack and elegant are the manufacturer's words. No wood grade, finish or coating is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How big is the table really?

79 in long by 35.5 in wide at 29.5 in high. The product title mentions only the 35.5 in figure, which is the width rather than the length.

Is there anything under the table to catch your feet?

No rail at floor level. The bracing sits up under the tabletop and the four tapered legs run straight to the ground, so the space between them is clear.

Do the cushions stay on?

They strap to the chair frame, which the manufacturer calls easy fixation and removal. The covers also unzip, so the pads can be washed and brought in for the winter.

How many boxes does it come in?

Five, one table and eight chairs split between them. Wait for all five before starting the assembly.
