9 Piece Acacia Patio Dining Set for 8, 79 by 35.5 Inch Table and Eight 24 Inch Slat Back Armchairs

One cushion sliding off a chair is a nuisance. Eight of them is an afternoon. On a set this size a gust means picking pads out of the border, off the grass and from under the table before anybody can sit down and eat.

The manufacturer fastens each cushion to its chair frame with a strap rather than leaving it loose, and calls it easy fixation and removal. It holds through a windy lunch and it still comes undone in a second when the pads are going into the shed in October.

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, which is how a 24 in wide chair still leaves room to lay the table properly.

Three things about the seat

A soft padded cushion, a cover that unzips for washing, and the strap that holds the pad to the chair. The manufacturer also picks out an inclined backrest, curved armrests and a wide seat, which together are what make a 24 in chair worth the extra width.

Acacia over metal tube

Solid acacia on the top, the chair backs and the armrests, 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 table 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 is included in this order.

Fastened to the chair frame so they stay put, and undone in a second when they come off.

With 23 in clear between the armrests and a 20 in by 17 in seat under the cushion.

Slatted solid acacia at 29.5 in high on four tapered metal legs, rated to 165 lb.

Published for each of the eight armchairs.

So the covers come off in one piece and go in the wash.

In acacia, 25 in from the ground under a 29.5 in tabletop, so the chairs push in.

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

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.

Straps are the difference between a set you can leave laid out and one you tidy after every gust.

Twenty three inches between the arms is room to sit rather than room to be measured into.

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

The same strap that holds the pad on undoes in a second when the cushions are going away.

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.
• Natural, anti crack and elegant are the manufacturer's words. No wood grade, finish or coating is published, so none is quoted.
• Easy fixation and removal is their description of the cushion straps. No strap material or fastening type is published.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How are the cushions attached?

Each pad has a strap that fastens it to the chair frame. The manufacturer calls it easy fixation and removal, which is accurate on both counts. The covers also unzip for washing.

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.

How is this different from the narrower version of this set?

The table is the same 79 in acacia top. This one has the 24 in wide slat back chair, and the other has a 22.5 in cross back chair. Choose on how much room you want in the seat.

How many boxes does it come in?

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