Patio sets come in the colour they come in. If the deck is grey, the trim is white and the set is orange toned wood, you either live with it or start again with a different set.

Every part of this set is solid acacia, and the manufacturer lists DIY paintable among its properties. There is no powder coated leg to mask off and no plastic weave to work around, so a coat of exterior paint is a real option.

Four chairs, one to a side

A 35.5 in square top with an armchair on each edge. The backs are a cut lattice rather than vertical slats, which is what gives the set its character from across a garden. The umbrella in this shot is not included.

The chair in detail

Slatted seat, rounded edges and reinforced crossbars are the three things the maker picks out. The crossbars between the legs are what stop a wooden chair working loose over a season of use.

What the wood can do

High strength, natural, splinter free and DIY paintable are the four properties the maker lists. Their notes on the same panel ask you to treat the wood with polish oil regularly and to avoid rain exposure.

The umbrella hole

One point nine seven inches, drilled through the middle of the square top. That sits inside the band most standard patio umbrellas use. The maker's caption says the umbrella and base are not included.

An open cut pattern in solid acacia instead of plain slats, on all four chairs.

The manufacturer lists DIY paintable among the properties of the acacia, which only works on an all wood set.

Built into the square top for most standard patio umbrellas. Umbrella and base are not included.

One chair to each edge at 29.5 in high, rated to 165 lb, with slats that drain after rain.

Between the chair legs and under the table, with an H shaped base for balance on uneven ground.

Edges are rounded rather than cut square on both the table and the chairs.

An all wood set takes exterior paint properly, which the maker calls out themselves.

A lattice back reads as older garden furniture rather than as flat pack, which suits brick and planting.

A 35.5 in square top with a chair on each edge fits a square of ground with no wasted corner.

What we stand behind

• Every measurement here is read from the product's own dimension drawing.
• The 165 lb tabletop capacity is the manufacturer's printed figure. No chair capacity is published, so none is quoted.
• The umbrella and base shown in two photographs are not included, and the maker's own captions say so.
• Their care notes are printed rather than buried: oil the wood regularly and avoid rain exposure for a longer service life.
• Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

Can I really paint it?

The manufacturer lists DIY paintable among the properties of the acacia. A solid wood set with no powder coated metal and no plastic weave is the kind that takes an exterior paint or stain cleanly. Sand lightly, prime and use an outdoor grade finish.

What is the difference between this and the slat back version?

The chair backs. This one has an open cut lattice pattern and the other has plain vertical slats. The table, the dimensions and the umbrella hole are the same on both.

What weight will the chairs take?

No chair capacity is published on this record, so none is given here. The table is rated to 165 lb, and the chairs carry reinforced crossbars between the legs.

Is there anything to sit on?

The seats are slatted acacia with no cushion supplied. A tie on seat pad is worth adding for long meals, and none is included.
