Eight outdoor chairs take up a lot of floor. Left pulled out around the table they block the route to the barbecue and the door, and stacking them somewhere else means carrying eight chairs twice a week.

Six of the eight chairs tuck right under the 79 in table, so the set collapses to roughly the table's own footprint between meals. The two end chairs stand out, and nothing has to be carried anywhere.

Nine pieces, seating eight

A 79 in table with a slatted acacia top on a black metal frame, and eight matching armchairs. Each armrest curls forward in a scroll finished in acacia wood, which is what distinguishes this version from the other two.

The armrest, up close

The scroll is the whole point of this version. Rattan wraps the frame and the top face of the arm is acacia, so your forearm rests on wood rather than on weave or on bare metal. The maker lists the rattan as anti fading.

Measure before you order

Table 79 in by 35.5 in and 29.5 in high, rated 165 lb. Chairs 24.5 in by 22 in and 35 in tall with the seat 16 in from the ground, rated 400 lb each. Nine pieces come to 144 lb in total.

What holds it together

Four close ups of the chair. An ergonomic backrest, adjustable footpads on the front legs for uneven paving, the X shaped metal frame that carries the 400 lb rating, and the acacia armrest tops.

Six and a half feet of slatted acacia on a metal frame, rated 165 lb. Eight people eat at it without anyone at a corner.

Six of the eight push right in against the table, which is how a set this size stops filling the whole deck when nobody is using it.

Each armchair carries a 400 lb badge on the maker's dimension image, over a sturdy X shaped metal frame with extra crossbars.

The acacia top is built from 1.4 in slats with gaps between them, so rain runs through instead of pooling on the surface.

Cut through the middle of the table to take a standard pole. The umbrella itself is not included.

The front legs of each chair adjust, so a chair that rocks on old flagstone can be brought level without a shim.

Each 2 in seat cushion has a cover that unzips and comes off for washing rather than being scrubbed where it sits.

Nine pieces at 144 lb together, which is light for a set this size and makes the end of season move realistic.

Eight matching armchairs with cushions and armrests, around a 79 in table. Nobody eats from a folding chair.

Six of the eight chairs push right under the table, so the set stops taking the whole deck when it is not in use.

A 1.9 in hole through the middle of the top takes a standard umbrella pole whenever you get round to buying one.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension, the 165 lb table rating and the 400 lb chair rating come from the record's own specification list and the manufacturer's Product Size image.
• The tabletop is slatted acacia on a metal frame. The 1.4 in slat width and the drainage gaps are shown in the maker's own detail panel.
• The umbrella hole is 1.9 in. No umbrella is included and the manufacturer says so.
• The maker's own note is to keep the cushions dry and to avoid prolonged rain exposure. We print it rather than bury it.
• No UV rating and no foam density are published, so neither is claimed.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

How much deck does a 79 inch table need?

Layout guides ask for about 3 ft of clear floor on every side of a dining table so chairs can pull back and people can walk behind them. On a 79 in by 35.5 in top that comes to roughly 13 ft by 9 ft of usable surface.

Do all eight chairs fit under the table?

Six of the eight tuck right under. The other two sit at the ends, where the table frame is. That is stated by the manufacturer and it is worth knowing if you need the deck completely clear.

Does the acacia top need treating?

Not urgently. Left alone it weathers to a silver grey without losing strength. Acacia care guidance suggests re-oiling a few times a season if you want to hold the original colour, and keeping it covered or sheltered through a wet freezing winter.

Can it be left out in the rain?

The manufacturer's own note for this range is to avoid prolonged rain exposure and to keep the cushions dry. The slatted top drains well and the rattan does not absorb water the way natural cane does, but the cushions are the part to take care of.
