Outsunny PE Rattan Dining Set 11-Piece (Black, 165cm x 110cm)

How many people does this dining set seat?

This set seats up to 10 people. It includes six armchairs and four footstools, all of which can be used as seating around the table. The table itself measures 165cm long by 110cm wide, giving plenty of surface space for a full group to dine comfortably. The footstools double as extra seating rather than just leg rests, making this a genuinely flexible setup for larger gatherings.

Is the rattan real or synthetic?

The rattan used on this set is synthetic PE (polyethylene) plastic wicker not natural rattan. This is actually an advantage for outdoor use. Natural rattan degrades when exposed to rain and UV light over time. PE rattan holds up far better outdoors, is UV-resistant and waterproof and can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The stringed finish gives it the look of natural rattan without the maintenance issues.

What is the frame made from and how strong is it?

The frame of each piece is made from alloy steel with a powder-coated finish. The steel core is then wrapped in PE rattan wicker. The powder coating helps protect the steel from rust and corrosion. Each chair has a maximum load capacity of 120kg, each footstool 100kg and the table 70kg. These are solid load ratings for a garden dining set of this type.

Do the cushions stay in place and are they weatherproof?

The seat and back cushions are made from polyester and are soft padded for comfort. Fixing straps are included to secure the cushions to the chairs so they don't slip or blow away. The cushions are not described as fully weatherproof so it is advisable to bring them indoors or store them under cover during heavy rain or when the set is not in use for extended periods.

Does the set fold away or save space when not in use?

Yes. One of the key practical features of this set is that all six chairs and four footstools tuck neatly under the table when not in use. This means the set takes up significantly less floor space on a patio or in a garden when you're not dining. It's a useful feature if your outdoor space is limited or if you want to keep things tidy between uses.

How difficult is assembly and what does it involve?

Assembly is required for this set. The product arrives in three separate packages with a total weight of 70kg across all boxes. A user guide and instruction manual are included in the package. No specific tools or estimated assembly time are listed by the manufacturer, but given the size of the set 11 pieces including a large table it is sensible to allow a couple of hours and have a second person to help with the heavier components.

What colours and sizes are available?

This set is available in three colour options: Black, Natural and Grey. The table dimensions are 165cm long by 110cm wide by 75cm high across all colour variants. The chair dimensions are 50.5cm wide by 49.5cm deep by 67cm high, with a seat height of 42cm without the cushion. The footstools measure 45cm wide by 40cm deep by 39cm high.
