It comes with black steel to hold up the light wood stained table top and seats.
“Foldable, durable and lovable with its mix of natural acacia hardwood and powder-coated steel,” IKEA bosses said.
“A perfect size for the balcony or in a cosy corner of the garden.
“The chair and the table take little room to store as they fold flat.
“For added durability and so you can enjoy the natural expression of the wood, the furniture has been pre-treated with a layer of semi-transparent wood stain.
“To prevent the surface from drying out and cracking and moisture from penetrating into the wood we recommend you to re-stain the furniture on a regular basis, for example once or twice a year.”
The table is 55 cm in length, 54 cm in width and 70 cm in height.
Meanwhile, the chairs have a width of 39 cm, depth of 40 cm and height of 79 cm.
“Lovely table and chairs,” one buyer said. “They really look the part and are stylish.
“They’re easy to move about to either chase the sun or, if the sunshine is too hot, just move them into the shade.
