What you get in the box
You will get two motion chairs with red or green cushions and a small table in a single box. The box is 26 inches wide, 26 inches deep and 27 inches tall, will not fit in most trunks. The steel black powder coated finish will be very durable for outside use. Some customers have purchased this unit for a small inside dining area, I think the table is too short for this use.
The chairs are 24.25 inches deep, 22.75 inches wide and 34.25 inches tall, with a seat height of 19 inches. Weight limit for each chair is 225 pounds. Seat and back have the same steel mesh pattern as the top of the table.
The Jacquard woven fabric cushion with comfy polyurethane and polyester fill cushions are 19 inches wide, 19.5 inches deep and 1.5 inches thick. They have two sets of straps for attaching to the chair. They can be purchased in green or red. The fabric is UV protected, water, stain and mildew-resistant, I would still store them when not needed for longer service life.
The table is 24 inches across and 24 inches tall. This is closer in height to a side table than a dining table, some people find it too short for eating dinner.
This is a great Bistro Patio Table and 2 Chairs for those looking for motion in the seating with cushions for extra comfort. Having storage for the cushions will give you a set that will last several years with out a lot of upkeep.
Assembly and use
Assembly and use
Easily assemble in 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your abilities. You may need a second person to hold part while attaching parts together.
The chairs are simple to put together. Just sit the chair top upside down, slide the bottom into the round slots on the top. Attach with the washer and bolt on each side. Tighten bolt with the included wrench and place the nut cover over the end of the nut for weather protection. Turn chair over and attach the cushions with the two ties. You are ready to sit.
The table will require you to lay the top upside down. With two Allen screws, wrench, attach the set of the legs that has the slot in the middle towards the top when the table is upside down. This will allow the other set of legs to nest and be attached with the other two Allen screws. Turn table over and you are ready to use your set.
Very little care is needed to keep this set looking like new. A little soap and water is all that is needed to clean, depending on the amount of droppings that nature gives you, plants, birds or animals.
My take on this item
My take on this item
I have a similar set at my weekend retreat on a deck that is 8 foot by 8 foot. I have owned it for over 14 years and have not had to repaint or do any thing but wash it off. I had to make my own cushions as my set did not include them. A small umbrella can be used with this set with a proper umbrella stand.
Some customers state the table is too short. If you find that it needs to be raised for your comfort, use bed risers or make a wooden pedestal for it.
Pros
Pros

nice post. Yes, I am looking for new stuff for my porch, but will probably just wait for it to warm up outside.Looks nice on your patio, though….thanks for the awesome post!!
Brent,
When it gets warm in your area, most stores will have their spring items out. It is a great time to get new products, sometimes the price is higher when the new items come out.

Nice professional post John. And that is indeed a lovely set that decorates and makes one want to sit there for hours.
I write about small space living recommendations and this is just one of the joys of furnishing small spaces – cute sets!
Great post!
Addie,
This set fits nicely on my deck at my camper. I have to say that mine is very comfortable for meals and sitting out have a cup of tea.
