9 Piece Acacia Patio Dining Set for 8, 86.5 Inch Table on Hairpin Legs and Eight Open Cross Back Armchairs

Eight solid chair backs and a heavy table read as a block from the kitchen window. The garden behind it disappears, the patio feels like a room with the furniture pushed in, and people start describing the set as too big for the space when the measurements were fine.

The chair backs here are cross work with the space left open, the table stands on four thin hairpin legs rather than a boxed frame, and the top is slatted. You look through the set rather than at it, which is why a 86.5 in table does not close the garden down.

Eight places on an 86.5 inch top

Three chairs down each long side and one at each end. Each side place gets roughly 28 in of table edge, well past the 24 in a setting takes, and the 37.5 in width leaves a full strip down the centre for serving after everything is laid.

The view goes through it

This is the photograph that makes the point. Sit the set in front of planting and the planting is still there, because there is nothing solid above seat height anywhere in the eight chairs. It is a small thing that changes how a big set sits in a small garden.

The wood, and the legs

Natural acacia on the top and the chair frames, which the manufacturer calls splinter free and long lasting. Underneath, four thin hairpin legs in black steel carry an 86.5 in top rated to 330 lb, with no boxed frame or floor level rail in the way.

Shade, and a cover for the hole

A 2 in hole through the centre of the top with a cover supplied in the box, so the top closes flush when the umbrella comes down. The manufacturer's note is plain. Neither the umbrella nor its base is included in this order.

An X worked in acacia with the space left open, on all eight chairs.

Slatted natural acacia at 29.5 in high, rated to 330 lb.

Four thin steel legs rather than a boxed frame, with nothing at floor level to catch your feet.

Published for each of the eight armchairs.

Supplied for the 2 in umbrella hole, so the top is closed when no pole is in it.

From the ground, 23 in apart, under a 29.5 in top so the chairs push in.

One padded cushion per chair, on a 22.5 in deep frame with a 16.5 in seat height.

One table and eight chairs, and the manufacturer says the time of receipt may vary.

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.

Eight places without the visual weight, because there is nothing solid above seat height.

Eight matching armchairs on a seven foot top, each one rated to 400 lb.

At 37.5 in across, this top keeps a full centre strip free once all eight places are laid.

Hairpin legs with nothing between them, so there is no rail at floor level to find with an ankle.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above, both weight capacities and the 2 in umbrella hole come from the product's own dimension drawing, and the included hole cover is named on their own photograph.
• The open construction is described from the manufacturer's own photographs. They make no claim about how the set looks in a garden and neither do we beyond what the pictures show.
• Splinter free and long lasting are the manufacturer's words. No wood grade, finish or coating is published, so none is quoted.
• The manufacturer states the set comes in five boxes and that the time of receipt may vary between them.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150. 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Does it really seat eight?

Yes, three down each long side and one at each end of an 86.5 in top. Each side place gets roughly 28 in of table edge, which is comfortably more than a place setting takes up.

Is the umbrella hole cover included?

Yes. The manufacturer supplies it in the box, so the top stays flat and closed when there is no umbrella. The umbrella and base are separate and are not included.

Is anything in the way under the table?

No rail at floor level. The top runs on four thin hairpin legs, so the space between them is clear from one end to the other.

How many boxes does it come in?

Five, one table and eight chairs split between them, and the manufacturer says the time of receipt may vary. Wait for all five before starting.
