Panana 8 Seater Rattan Dining Set with Table, 4 Chairs, 4 Stools

The Panana 8 Seater Rattan Garden Dining Set takes the top spot in this guide, and it is the one set here that builds its seat count out of two different kinds of furniture rather than a footstool. Panana counts eight seats as one square table (W 110cm x D 110cm x H 75cm), four armchairs (W 55cm x D 53cm x H 84cm) and four stools (W 41cm x D 41cm x H 40cm). The chairs have backs; the stools do not, and at 40cm high they are perches rather than armchairs. The listing says this itself in the first bullet, which lists "4 chairs and 4 stools" rather than eight of anything. If you count only the seats you can lean back into, this is a four-seater with four extra places to sit.

The numbers on the listing are worth reading closely. It shows 4.4 out of 5 from 383 ratings, but the review breakdown displayed with it adds up to 100 reviews: 67 five-star, 21 four-star, 5 three-star, 3 two-star and 4 one-star. The proportions you see come from a smaller sample than the headline figure suggests. Panana gives the set as 70 kg, supplied flat packed in three cartons, model number RT441, with a 5mm tempered safety glass tabletop and a powder-coated steel frame under UV-treated PE rattan. It holds the number one best seller rank in Patio Dining Sets. Everything on this page is taken from the Panana Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
