Almost every wicker patio chair sits on painted steel tube. It heats up through an August afternoon, chills through an October evening, and the powder coat chips at the foot where it meets the paving.

These chairs stand on tapered acacia legs, and the side table matches them. Acacia is a dense hardwood with natural oils in it. Left untreated it weathers to a silver grey without losing strength.

Two armchairs and a round table

Two armchairs and one round side table. The chairs are open woven rattan on four tapered acacia legs, with an off white seat cushion and a matching back cushion. The table has a round tempered glass top on acacia legs to match.

With cushions and without

The manufacturer shows the chairs both ways. Bare, the open weave is a breathable seat in its own right. With the cushions in, there are high density fillings, smooth zips on the covers and fixing ropes that tie the seat cushion down so it does not slide.

The figures

Chair 27.5 in deep by 24 in wide and 32 in high, with the seat 15 in from the ground under a 3.2 in cushion. Side table 19 in across and 19.5 in high. Printed capacities are 400 lb per chair and 100 lb for the table.

Solid tapered wood rather than painted steel tube, on both the chairs and the table. The maker calls the surface burr free.

A heavy duty metal frame inside the weave carries the rating, with the tempered glass side table at 100 lb.

The seat cushions tie down rather than resting loose, which is what keeps them on an open woven seat.

Air moves through the weave. The manufacturer photographs the chairs in use without cushions, which tells you how the back is built.

Nineteen inches across and 19.5 in high, with a tempered glass top, matched to a seat that sits 15 in from the ground.

The whole set weighs 53 lb, so moving both chairs and the table into shade or into store is a one person job.

Solid acacia legs under an open woven shell. It reads closer to indoor furniture than to a garden centre set.

A 19 in round table with a tempered glass top, sized to reach from a seat that sits 15 in from the ground.

The weave is open rather than solid, so air moves through the back. The maker photographs the chairs usable without cushions at all.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension, the 400 lb and 100 lb capacities and the 53 lb set weight come from the record's own specification list.
• The legs are solid acacia wood, which the maker describes as burr free.
• The manufacturer's own note is to keep the cushions dry to extend service time. 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.

What holds the cushions in place?

Fixing ropes tie the seat cushions to the frame, and the covers close with smooth zips. On an open woven seat that matters, because there is nothing else to stop a loose pad sliding forward.

Can the chairs be used without the cushions?

The manufacturer photographs them both ways and describes the bare chairs as a breathable sitting experience. The open weave carries you on its own, and the cushions are there for comfort rather than structure.

What weight will they take?

Four hundred pounds per chair and 100 lb on the side table, published in the record. The frame is heavy duty metal inside the weave, with solid acacia forming the legs.

Do the cushions need bringing in?

The manufacturer's own note is to always keep the cushions dry to extend service time, and we would rather print that than bury it. The covers unzip, so a wet cushion can be taken apart and dried properly.
