Late summer evenings get dark quickly, and most back gardens have one dim light by the door. Plugging in a lamp means a cord across the deck, and candles blow out the moment there is any breeze.

LED beads run along the ribs of both halves of this umbrella, shown lit in the manufacturer's own evening photograph. The light points down at the table from 8.2 ft up, so plates are lit and nobody is looking into a bulb.

All eleven pieces together

One table, eight armchairs, the twin canopy and its square base. Acacia slats are set into a mix grey woven frame, and the same wood runs along the top of every armrest. Three chairs sit down each long side with one at each end.

The same table at dusk

Every rib carries a line of beads on both halves. Because the source is on the canopy rather than on the table, the light falls onto the food and not into anyone's face. There is no cord running back to the house in this shot.

Out on open paving

The canopy opens 14.8 ft across against a table 75 in long, so the cover runs past both ends. Clearance under the rim is 6.2 ft, which is the figure printed on the manufacturer's drawing and is enough for most adults to walk in without stooping.

Looking down on the layout

From above you can see how much of the table the shade covers and how the chairs sit around it. The pole passes through the middle of the table rather than standing beside it, so there is no stand competing with anybody's legs.

Lights run out along every rib of both canopies, shown lit in the manufacturer's own dusk photograph.

The open canopy measures 14.8 ft across and 8.5 ft deep over a table that is 75 in by 36 in.

Printed on the umbrella drawing against 8.2 ft of overall height, so the rim sits above head height.

Acacia slats set into grey weave, 75 in long by 36 in wide at 29 in high, rated to 350 lb on this listing's drawing.

23.5 in across the arms, 22 in deep and 32 in tall, with 25 in backrests and a printed 400 lb rating each.

A 2.4 ft square tray only 0.5 ft deep, so it holds the 2 in pole down without standing in a walkway.

18.5 in cushions 2.3 in thick over high density sponge, with covers that unzip and lift off.

Screws are in box 1, and the maker's note asks you to wait a few days if only part of the order arrives.

Light that lives on the umbrella takes an extension cord off the deck for good.

The beads sit above the table, so the meal keeps going past sunset without anyone fetching a lamp.

Beige canopy, grey weave and pale acacia stay quiet against pavers, composite boards or poured concrete.

What we stand behind

• Canopy span, height, clearance, pole and base sizes, chair and table measurements are all read from this listing's own dimension drawing.
• The 350 lb table and 400 lb armchair capacities are the manufacturer's printed figures on this listing. Other colourways in the same range print a different table figure, so this one is quoted as printed here.
• The lights are described from the manufacturer's evening photograph. No bead count, lumen figure, power source or run time is published, so none is quoted.
• The written specification block gives a 71 in table and a 17 in seat height, which the drawing on these photos contradicts. The drawing is used.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

How do the umbrella lights work?

The manufacturer's photographs show LED beads along every rib of both canopy halves, lit at dusk with nothing plugged in at the table. The record publishes no bead count, no run time and no detail of the power source, so none of that is claimed here.

Will eight people fit around this table?

Yes, three down each long side and one at each end. Everyday dining guides allow 24 in to 27 in of table edge per person, and three places across 75 in works out at about 25 in each.

Does the base need filling?

Yes. It is a hollow 2.4 ft square tray 0.5 ft deep that takes sand or water, neither of which is supplied. Sand gives more weight for the same volume and does not need draining before the first hard freeze.

Will everything arrive at once?

Not necessarily. The maker packs this in four cartons and prints a note asking you to wait a few days if only part of the order turns up. The screws are in box 1, so assembly starts when that one lands.
