Humber Imports "Monaco 10 Seater Top Grade SVLK Compliant Teak Outdoor Patio Garden Set New Model 2.96 Extension Table 10 Folding Chairs & Cushions

This table looks good and is reassuringly heavy and well made. Its great at this price. The £70 shipping seems a bit steep so be aware of this add on.Table assembly is easy and other than 4 retaining screws it is put together by teak dowels and a mallet. There’s something very satisfying in this. The table allows use of an umbrella without the need for a separate umbrella stand. In my experience these built in systems are the best. The chairs come ready assembled and look good with thick cusions. I bought this as a replacement for my old teak table which is now 12 years old. The old table is still good but the chairs have seen better days. My old chairs are about twice the weight of the new ones. While the lightweight construction of the chairs in this set is good I do rather worry about how the thinner back slats on the chairs will do over the years. I expect the chairs will be good for 5 years or more but I’m not sure that they’ll withstand a decade or Welsh weather like the ones I had. Time will tell….

Only had this a few months, so a limited review as unable to comment on weather durability.However, first thing was I got a phone call that order had been received and that I would get a phone call within 10 days to confirm delivery. 10 days later, on a Saturday, I got the call that delivery would be Monday morning. Suggest you have a friend with you when goods arrive. I was lucky, driver was very helpful and helped me by unloading the pallet into my garage. The table is well made and very heavy. Table is in four parts and very easy to put together, parts are labeled to make it too simple. But you will need a friend to help you move it, as it is assembled upside down, no way is this a one man, or woman, job. I was concerned about buying a wooden table as I was worried a heavy wind would blow it away. Not an issue with this table, reckon it will withstand a force nine gale easier than most properties!Chairs are well made and comfy with the supplied cushions. I also brought a cover for the table, a bit expensive at £30 odd pounds, but again well made heavy duty cover.The wood is pretreated and it states it does not need treatment, but I brought teak oil to use once a year. The chairs will be put in the garage when the weather changes, but the table stays where it is, in the garden under a cover when not in use.Only two minor niggles, regarding the use of a parasol. I have a very heavy metal base for a parasol, but it will not fit under the table as the supporting crosspiece at the base is too low and you can't get a base under it. The other is that the centre hole in the middle of the table is a little on the big side and the parasol will rattle with just a mild breeze, even though the hole has a brass ring inset. I used bits of a plastic pipe to increase the diameter of the parasol pole to minimise movement. Bottom line - well worth the price for the quality you get. Will give an update at a later stage.

Great communication and service from Humber Imports.Table is first class...easy to assemble..and great extension options...chairs are good.Table is heavy..needs 2 to set up. I tried to do by myself and damaged/torn arm tendon...so be warned...as I was ...but still stupidly choose to go ahead!

This is an excellent product.The photograph accurately shows what the table and chairs look like.Good quality and design and Humberts offer a very good sales service.

I was incredibly impressed with the service provided by Humber Imports, the manufacturers of this product. They not only called me the day after I ordered to organise delivery, which they kindly put of for two weeks at my request, but also advised a better solution to the protective cover I had additionally ordered with them (saving me money in the process).The table and chairs look great and are surprisingly easy to assemble. If I recall there was only two or three steps to complete. The table setting looks brilliant and has withstood the wet summer weather in London of late. It has received lots of positive comments and I have already recommended this product to numerous friends.

Very good value and easy assembly - no complaints at all.
