Buy it Now! Hampton Bay Millstone Dining Set

July 18, 2013 By Lena

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

      July 29, 2013 at 6:56 am

      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

      July 29, 2013 at 7:14 am

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

    July 18, 2013 at 11:24 pm

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

    • Lena

      July 29, 2013 at 7:15 am

      You bet! The umbrella pretty much gives shade to my whole patio!

    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

      July 29, 2013 at 7:16 am

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

  7. Cathy C

    July 19, 2013 at 9:58 am

    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)

    • Lena

      July 29, 2013 at 7:19 am

      You’ve painted an awesome picture, Cathy!

    July 19, 2013 at 10:21 am

    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 :(

    • Lena

      July 29, 2013 at 7:19 am

      Ah, it’s a pretty big set, so yes, a house patio is preferable, LOL

  9. Debbie Bashford

    July 19, 2013 at 1:35 pm

    Nit a bad price, but alas no patio as of yet

    • Lena

      July 29, 2013 at 7:19 am

      Ah, one day Debbie!

    That’s a beautiful patio set

    • Lena

    Wow, that would be nice on the patio! One day…

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:17 am

      It’s a stunning set for sure!

  12. bina edwards

    August 20, 2013 at 8:17 am

    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

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:17 am

      Agreed, they’re very well made.

  13. Amy Heffernan

    August 20, 2013 at 8:33 am

    This set is just stunning. Very good choice.

    • Lena

    The dining set is lovely! I love how large the umbrella is :)

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:18 am

      One of my favourite features! We all have shade, regardless of the time of day.

  17. Darrah Bailey

    Loe the colors.. Very warm and inviting

    • Lena

    Such a lovely dining set. I like how the pillows add a bold statement

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:18 am

      Love how you picked up on that!

  19. Jeannie

    August 20, 2013 at 9:42 am

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

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:18 am

      Couldn’t have said it better :)

  20. Judy C (Cowan)

    August 20, 2013 at 10:25 am

    Love this set, we just don’t have an area big enough for it

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:19 am

      Yeah, we made a large patio so it’s no problem accommodating it, but it is on the larger side.

  21. Halifax

    August 20, 2013 at 10:46 am

    Been eyeing a set like this, hopefully I can find one

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:19 am

      Good luck!

  22. Vesper

    August 20, 2013 at 11:00 am

    Like the cast iron patterned table

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:19 am

      It’s gorgeous!

  23. Debbie Bashford

    August 20, 2013 at 11:07 am

    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!

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:20 am

      Nice! Fingers crossed for you!

  25. Lisa KH

    August 20, 2013 at 11:14 am

    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!

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:20 am

      I think the patterned table is what really sets this set apart. Thanks Lisa!

  26. Lisa

    August 20, 2013 at 11:35 am

    I do love this set, unfortunately it would take up the entire patio in our tiny back yard

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:21 am

      :) It is on the larger side, so you definitely need a little bit of room :)

  27. Deb

    August 20, 2013 at 12:08 pm

    $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!

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:22 am

      Fingers crossed you can find it!

    i so want your patio set,, amazing..

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:22 am

      I’m in love with it too :)

  29. DH

    August 20, 2013 at 5:51 pm

    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

      August 25, 2013 at 10:23 am

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

  30. ginette4

    August 20, 2013 at 6:08 pm

    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.

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:25 am

      Glass can be particularly tricky outdoors for sure!

  31. Lisa H

    August 20, 2013 at 6:47 pm

    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 :)

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:25 am

      We certainly do!!

  32. Sydney D

    August 20, 2013 at 10:30 pm

    This looks awesome. We have a glass patio table, but I’m sure metal is more durable!

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:25 am

      It’s awesome. And, very pretty! LOL

    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.

    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!

    • Lena

      August 25, 2013 at 10:29 am

      Love it! And I’m wishing we had made our patio even larger – I hate grass too!

    I love how the design in the table is the same as the cushions.

    The fact that the chairs are stackable is great. I didn’t know these sort of chairs would stack.

      They do! It’s very impressive!

    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!

    • Lena

      September 14, 2013 at 5:24 pm

      Hahaha rest assured, the grooves are very tiny!

    It looks nice, but don’t things fall through the holes on the tabletop?

    • Lena

      September 14, 2013 at 5:25 pm

      LOL they don’t. The grooves are actually very small – only about a toonie could fall through :)

  67. Cathy C

    September 7, 2013 at 1:38 pm

    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!

    • Lena

      September 14, 2013 at 5:26 pm

      Never thought about it that way, but you’re right!

    Very pretty and I like the elegance of cushions. My patio set doesn’t have cushions!!

      Gasp! A patio set needs cushions!

    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.

      You’re absolutely right, J – it provides the perfect amount of coverage!

    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!

      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

      Hi Vee! This is the umbrella:
