Buy it Now! Hampton Bay Millstone Dining Set

By

So many of y’all fell in LOVE with my Hampton Bay Millstone Dining Set, available at the Home Depot Canada. It was prominently featured in my #ProjectPatio: The BIG Reveal! post, and we too coveted the set from the first moment we laid eyes on it.

(And now that I’ve hyperlinked the hell out of it, it’s time to get down to business!)

Here’s the deal. When we first started planning for our backyard patio, we assumed that we would prefer lounge-type seating. After all, drinks on the patio and wicker sectionals go hand-in-hand, no? However, after much thought and a careful reassessment of our family habits, eating preferences and lifestyle, we concurred that a standard dining set would likely be the better choice. However, I was very particular about the features of the dining set; it had to have:

a) comfortable seating for six
b) sturdy, stackable chairs, and preferably two that reclined
c) a unique style that is contemporary yet functional
d) rust proof framing and weather resistant fabric
e) a timeless colour coombination that coordinates well with all décor

Thankfully, it didn’t take long before we settled on the Hampton Bay Millstone Dining Set. I was quite taken with the cast iron dining table; its intricate design and aged bronze powder coated finish was perfectly stylish and functional, and I appreciated the quality of the design.

The swivel chairs have just the right amount of “give” to make them truly comfortable, and the standard chairs are sturdy without being overly heavy. I adore the coordinating decorative cushions; they lend a friendly pop of colour and provide generous lower back support. Although we grabbed a deck box for storage, the seat cushions have been through one or two summer showers, and I’m pleased to report that they are authentically water-resistant. 

But apart from the fact that it is a beautiful, quality dining set – why should you “Buy it Now?” It’s currently over $500 off online at the Home Depot Canada! That’s right, the complete set is marked down to just $589.00, which is a phenomenal price!

There’s still a LOT of summer left to enjoy this gorgeous Hampton Bay Millstone Dining Set patio set – Happy Shopping!

    What a beautiful set! I’m going to show this post to my dad who is in desperate need of a new patio set!

    thanks

    I love that set – too bad my backyard isn’t big enough for it. I am planning to move in a year or two though and will be looking for a bigger backyard with a nice patio ! :o)

    • Lena

      Patios are THE BEST! I’m so glad we’ve still got at least another month of beautiful weather ahead!

    what a stunning set. alas, my backyard isn’t big enough for this and also, i need to have a decent enough deck. *cries* i’ll just live vicariously through you, Lena!

    • Lena

      Aw, that’s pretty much how I feel about anyone who lives near the water :) Vicariously it is!

  5. Heidi C.

    Wow – what a fantastic price! I really like the size of the umbrella and the swivel chairs. Really nice set!

  6. Victoria Ess

    I just fell in love with your patio all over again — the stone really is gorgeous and it’s so spacious! Also, I vote ‘yay’ for getting that 4 piece set!

    • Lena

      Sold out now; I didn’t act quickly enough! Though I still think I may check my store stock….

  7. Cathy C

    I love the throw cushion design. Looks so inviting. Just need a drink with an umbrella in it my Hawaiian Tropic Hat and a chef to serve up a perfect meal (or BBQ guy aka Hubby)

  8. Judy C

    What a great set, I love it! But the only place we have for patio furniture is at our trailer and this set would be a bit too big for our deck :(

  12. bina edwards

    I like the look of those chairs, they look solid. My hubbys a big man and he tends to push up on the arms when he gets up (instead of using his legs) and tends to destroy chairs quickly

  19. Jeannie

    Love the set and accent pillow. The table is the perfect size for entertaining…big, but not too big.

  24. caryn s

    Love this set and will have to see if my local home depot has it in stock as i have wanted a patio set for some time now!

  25. Lisa KH

    This really is a great outdoor dining set. I commented on your other post how much I like the swivel chairs. Now that I see the pattern in the tabletop, I like the set even more!

  27. Deb

    $319 is a really good price for this from the Home Depot. I would have thought it was much more. Hmmm… gotta call Hubby to have a look at that!

  29. DH

    I’m not sold on the cut out table top. I’d imagine my kids would have things falling through alllll the time… but it is very pretty to look at!!!

    • Lena

      I was worried about that too, but the cutouts are generally too small for anything but a french fry to fall through!

  30. ginette4

    I love the finished look on that table, not a glass tabletop :) I love it, wish I would of gotten a tabletop without glass, so gross to keep clean.

  31. Lisa H

    We also chose a metal patio table over the glass topped versions. I find they can withstand a lot more abuse, and we need that with a our boys don’t we :)

  36. Tricha

    If we didn’t already buy a “not nice as yours” earlier in the Spring, I would definitely take advantage of this sale price. Love your taste in decorating.

  38. Doreen Lamoureux

    Wow. That is a great price. I love it when they have sales. They do that well. Your dining room patio furniture looks so beautiful.

  39. Lori L. - @Miss_Elles

    You’re giving me all sorts of ideas for when we finally tackle our backyard patio! (Again, not wanting any grass out there!) I love your new set & the pattern in the table is really lovely.

    Now is the best time of year to buy outdoor furniture, I think I may have to convince hubs to head to Home Depot Canada with me this weekend & see what’s on sale for our soon-to-be front yard patio!

    Home Depot offers so much collection – I’ve bought many Hampton Bay lighting fixtures in the past. Love them!

  51. Elizabeth Friesen (@emfriesen)

    No need to go out for drinks or meals with a gorgeous patio like that at home!!! Extremely stylish and looks very comfortable too!!! :D

  53. Brenda Penton

    I love that patio set! It is beautiful! I wish my yard was nice enough for it! Next year, maybe!

  56. Clifford

    I really like your Patio Set, especially the swivel chairs. We need a new set badly and with 6 chairs, the color you chose is perfect.

  61. Soozle

    Very beautiful set, Lena! You have such a great eye for awesome pieces :) I would just be worried about items spilling due to the ‘grooves’ in the table!

  67. Cathy C

    I love the neutral colours! Means it is easy to add on in future years and still coordinate. The splash of colour in the cushions really jazzes it up!

  82. J

    I love the set. But I love the umbrella in particular. A lot of patio dining sets just seem to have an umbrella that provides enough coverage for the table but not enough for the people who are sitting at the table underneath. This seems to have enough for the table, people, and some wiggle room.

  84. Delores Mutschloer

    Have a table. Wondering if it is possible to purchase the chairs only.

  85. Chris

    Hi Lena,
    Well it’s 2014 and this set is on sale again! After reading your review I just made the purchase!
    How did yours weather over the winter? did you leave it out and cover / or store indoors? How are the seat cushions holding up?

    Thanks for the great review!

    Chris

    • Lena

      That’s awesome Chris! So, we placed plastic around the chairs and left them in our back yard – no concerns at all, they’re as good as new. My husband was not as careful with the table/umbrella stand and didn’t cover it at all – and in the spring, there was mild rust on the base of the umbrella stand (the table weathered the winter with no wear/peeling/rust at all).

      We stored the seat cushions and they are like new. So all in all, the only thing that took a mild beating was the umbrella stand. (We removed the rust with a commercial product in minutes.)

      This set is VERY high quality and I’m so happy you were able to grab it at a great price! You will love it!

    Hi Lena

    Very well decorated and very well kept. I’m thinking of buying this one as this is on sale again. Did you get the umbrella with the set or you bought it separately? Is this a Hampton bay umbrella? What is the width for the umbrella?

    Thanks
    Vee
