Everyone has met the folding table that shuts itself. You put a hand on the edge to stand up, the frame pivots, and the drinks go over. It is the reason plenty of people avoid folding outdoor furniture altogether.

This one carries safety stoppers that hold the table expanded while it is in use, which the maker names as a feature rather than leaving you to hope. The X shaped structure and crossbars underneath do the rest, and each chair is rated 400 lb.

Two chairs and a round table

Light brown weave on the seats and across the tabletop, with black metal frames underneath. The chair backs carry a row of woven circles rather than plain bars.

Open and folded

Table 24 in across, 28 in high, folding to 37.5 in by 24 in by 2.5 in. Chair 33 in tall with a 17 in seat, folding to 37.5 in by 18 in by 5 in. Capacities are 400 lb per chair and 100 lb for the table.

On a balcony

Out on a rug behind a railing. A 24 in round table and two chairs is about the largest arrangement most balconies take, and this one folds when the space is needed.

The weave, close up

A close look at the tabletop. The maker's icons read sunproof, appealing and hand woven, and it adds a note underneath asking that the set not sit in prolonged rain.

Table down to 2.5 in thick, chairs to 5 in. The set goes behind a door for the winter.

Printed on the manufacturer's dimension panel, with 100 lb for the tabletop.

The maker fits safe stoppers to keep the table expanded while it is in use.

Hand woven light brown PE rattan, which the maker calls sunproof, on both the seats and the tabletop.

Twenty eight inches to the top of the table, inside the standard 28 in to 30 in band, with seats 17 in from the ground.

Woven circles across each backrest, which is the detail that separates this from a plain folding chair.

A 24 in round table and two chairs, all of which fold flat when the space is wanted for something else.

Two and a half inches folded for the table. It goes behind a door or under a bed for the winter.

Twenty eight inches is proper dining height, so you sit up to it rather than reaching down.

Will the table fold while I am using it?

The maker fits safe stoppers whose job is to hold the table expanded during use. Seat them properly when you open it and check them at the start of each season, which is the same advice for any folding frame.

How small does it fold?

The table goes to 37.5 in by 24 in by 2.5 in and each chair to 37.5 in by 18 in by 5 in. All three stand together against a wall in roughly the depth of a door.

Is it a dining table or a coffee table?

Dining. Twenty eight inches to the top, which is the standard band for outdoor dining tables, with the chair seats 17 in from the ground.

Can it stay out all summer?

It can, though the maker asks that it not sit in prolonged rain. PE rattan handles weather better than natural cane, and the frame is the part to keep an eye on for chips in the finish. Folding it away in a wet week costs nothing.
