Most six seat patio tables are around 32 in across. Once six plates, six glasses and the cutlery are down, the middle is a narrow lane that will not take a serving board. The food ends up on a side table, a wall or somebody's lap.

This top is 36 in wide. That is a narrow sounding difference until you lay the table, at which point it is the width of a serving platter running the whole length of the centre while nobody has to move a plate to make room.

Six places and a clear centre

Two chairs down each long side and one at each end of a 63 in top. At 36 in across the table takes six settings and still leaves room down the middle, which is the whole argument for a wider top on a set this size.

The table, measured

63 in by 36 in at 30 in high, which is standard dining height, on four thickened metal legs with a rustproof coating. The published capacity for the top is 165 lb, and a 1.9 in hole runs through the centre for an umbrella pole.

Wood where your arm goes

A shaped piece of acacia sits along the top of each arm, on a scrolled metal support. Underneath the weave is an X shaped steel frame, and the front legs carry adjustable foot pads. The manufacturer also prints a note here worth reading. Avoid rain exposure for prolonged service life.

Cushions that unzip

Each 2.5 in cushion sits under a cover with a zip along the edge, so it comes off in one piece for washing. The manufacturer's description of the filling is high density, which is what stops a thin outdoor pad flattening out by the middle of the season.

Four inches more across than the usual six seat patio table, which is the whole centre strip.

Shaped timber on a scrolled metal support, rather than the woven or painted arm you usually get.

Published for each armchair. The tabletop is rated at 165 lb.

Through the centre of the top. No umbrella or base is included in this order.

The armrests sit 25.5 in from the ground under a 30 in top, so the chairs push in.

Inside every chair, under the hand woven PE rattan, carrying the load.

High density filling under covers that unzip along the edge for washing.

On the chairs, for paving and decking that is not quite level.

Platters, boards and bottles stay in the middle of the table where everyone can reach them.

Six matching armchairs with real arms, so nobody gets the odd chair brought out from the kitchen.

Timber armrests rather than painted metal, which is the part your forearm meets after an afternoon in the sun.

Arms at 25.5 in under a 30 in top means the chairs go in rather than sticking out into the path.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement above, both weight capacities and the 1.9 in umbrella hole come from the product's own dimension drawings and specification block.
• Waterproof and weather resistant are the manufacturer's words with no published rating behind them. The same listing also asks you to avoid rain exposure for prolonged service life, and that instruction is printed here rather than buried.
• This product's description calls the set a bar set and the table a bar height dining table. The published table height is 30 in, which is standard dining height, not bar height. The measurement is used here and the description's wording is not.
• The manufacturer states the set arrives in three boxes at different times, each containing its own screw kit, and recommends assembling only after all of them arrive.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Is this a bar height set?

No. The product description calls it a bar set in one paragraph, but the published table height is 30 in and the seat height 16 in, which is ordinary dining height. The wording in that paragraph is a mistake in the manufacturer's copy.

Will the chairs fit under the table?

Yes. The armrests are 25.5 in from the ground and the top is 30 in high, so there is clearance for the arms to pass under and the chairs to push in between meals.

Can it be left out in the rain?

The manufacturer calls the acacia waterproof in one place and asks you to avoid rain exposure in another. Take the instruction rather than the adjective. Bring the cushions in and cover the set when the weather turns.

What size umbrella pole fits?

The hole is 1.9 in across, which is the most common market pole size. A base is still needed because the hole alone will not hold an umbrella upright, and neither the umbrella nor the base is included.
