The Southwold Side Table Sets include the versatile side table, a new addition to the Southwold Garden Furniture collection, perfect for resting a drink, displaying a vase of flowers or even use as a spare seat when needed. The side table sets are a great alternative to traditional type bistro sets and works really well with benches or chairs in a smaller outside space.
The handcrafted traditional style side table features stylish curved legs with detailed scrolled feet and the slatted top gives a traditional finish to the table. The table, chairs and benches are part of our exclusive Harrod Southwold Garden Furniture Collection, handcrafted traditional style garden furniture made from high grade steel. The steel is hot dip galvanised for long life and then 'hand etched' to achieve the stunning antique finish. Due to the hand made manufacturing and finishing methods all of the tables and chairs are unique with a stunning finish that only improves as it weathers.
Designed as a useful side table to have next to benches or chairs or to use as a useful additional seat, the table measures 48.5cm wide, 58cm deep and stands 44cm high. Due to the handmade manufacturing and finishing methods used each table is unique and the appearance improves as it weathers.
The Southwold Carver Chairs (with arms), Side Chairs (without arms) and Benches in the sets have been designed to be both comfortable and beautiful. The material has been carefully selected using different thicknesses of steel to ensure the right amount of 'give' while retaining structural strength. The chair and bench legs use 8mm thick steel for strength and rigidity and the seat bases and backs use 3mm slats to give comfort and spring to the seat. The scrolled arms on the Carver Chairs and Benches (with backs) use 5mm thick steel strip.

Product Reviews
SOUTHWOLD GARDEN FURNITURE COLLECTION
This new handcrafted traditional furniture collection takes its name from the popular Suffolk coastal town of Southwold, just a short distance from Harrod Horticultural where we design and manufacture the range in our workshops.
TIMELESS ELEGANCE
The range is inspired by traditional blacksmith furniture which became popular at the start of the industrial revolution over 200 years ago. Many of the shapes, forms and general look and feel quote directly from this heritage.
ENDURING COMFORT
Where our designs differ from tradition however, is the depth of study and care we have taken to ensure that our furniture is as much comfortable as beautiful. Much thought has gone into the ergonomics of the seat designs and careful selection of material section and thickness to ensure just the right amount of 'give' is coupled with the required structural strength. The chair designs for example use a range of thicknesses of strip steel depending on the design need. The legs use 8mm thick strip for strength and rigidity whereas the seat base and back rest use 3mm slats to give comfort and spring to the seat. Cushions can be ordered with your furniture for ultimate comfort but we are confident that even without padding our chairs will be kind to your behind.
HIGH SKILLED PRODUCTION
All of our furniture is hand made by skilled technicians and finished in our workshops in Suffolk where we have been manufacturing for over 65 years. Due to the handmade nature of the products all pieces are unique, these slight differences add up to sets of furniture with real soul and charm in a world of mass produced conformity. Before final finishing all of the products are dipped in a bath of molten zinc which envelops the steel in a blanket of sacrificial rust protection. Each furniture piece is therefore extremely tough and durable, and with a substantial weight, so will withstand the most extreme British weather.
DURABLE FINISHES
The furniture collection is structurally guaranteed for 25 years, but our testing suggests that the furniture can genuinely be considered as heirloom pieces that will last for generations if looked after. Before the final finish, all furniture is hot dip galvanised.
'Hand Etched' finish - the product is chemically 'etched' by hand after the zinc coating is applied leaving an antiqued patina appearance which improves as the product weathers. The magic of the finish, is that the character of each piece only improves with age, the more the seasons pass the more the appearance is enhanced.
CARE GUIDE
Each piece of furniture is handmade and finished, the joy of this hand process means that every piece has its own subtle character that develops with age. The etched zinc finish evolves with time and use, colours vary from almost white to dark grey with occasional mottling of dark red oxides. When the furniture arrives, it can take a few weeks for the aged patina to start to develop. This is normal and depends on the weather conditions. The characteristic white dusty oxides form over the initial dark grey.
All our furniture will arrive pre-waxed. We advise applying beeswax polish in the Autumn (or earlier depending on weather conditions and how the furniture looks) and in the Spring. Beeswax polish is available from Harrod Horticultural or from any good DIY store . This can be applied with a cotton cloth, simply wipe on and buff into all surfaces of the furniture. The wax is easier to apply if it's at room temperature or the jar can be warmed to soften the wax by placing in a bowl of hot (not boiling) water. DO NOT wax furniture in cold or extremely hot conditions.
It's not absolutely essential to wax the furniture, but it will enhance the appearance, stabilising the patina. The beeswax will also give the furniture a 'silky' feel, and when it rains you should notice water now 'beads' on the surface, also making it easier to clean. Make sure that you allow the wax to dry fully, and that any excess is wiped off before sitting on the furniture or using cushions.
Table tops and horizontal surfaces where water may collect may become very white if left for months unwaxed. This can be buffed off to the desired colour with a scouring pad and then wax applied to seal.
To clean your furniture, use no more than mild detergent, water and a nylon scrubbing brush. The furniture can be left outside year round in all weathers.
If you live very close to the sea please be aware that a salt laden atmosphere can greatly accelerate corrosion, so we recommend waxing frequently and ensuring that the furniture is washed down with fresh water before application. Please note that the white zinc oxides that develops are not harmful to the skin. Zinc oxide is used in wide range of cosmetics and personal care products.
