Know before you buy
Western red cedar is naturally resistant to rot, decay, and insect damage, making it an excellent choice for outdoor furniture. While the wood is naturally durable, we recommend applying a sealant or choosing one of the finished options if you want to maintain the original color and provide extra protection against UV rays.
Yes, an umbrella hole is available as an optional feature. It measures 2 inches in diameter, which accommodates most standard patio umbrellas.
The set arrives partially assembled and requires some final assembly upon delivery. You will need basic tools to connect the main components, and we recommend having a second person assist you due to the size and weight of the cedar pieces.
The weight capacity depends on the length of the set. The 4-foot version supports up to 800 lbs, while the 8-foot version is built to handle up to 1,200 lbs.
Yes, you can order the table unfinished. Keep in mind that unfinished cedar will naturally weather to a silvery-gray patina over time when exposed to the elements.
The table stands at a standard dining height of 30 inches, and the bench seats are 17 inches high, providing a comfortable ergonomic fit for most adults.
