The NATERIAL Forest Set and Leroy Merlin's €60 Summer Discount

The NATERIAL Forest picnic set is a single outdoor dining structure that seats four people: a rectangular table flanked by two attached wooden benches, all built from treated solid pine. It is designed for gardens, patios, terraces or covered porches, and includes a central 40 mm hole in the tabletop to hold a standard umbrella pole.

Leroy Merlin is promoting the set at 139 euros, described as a 60-euro reduction on the usual reference price. The pine is FSC certified, meaning the wood is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the furniture complies with the European UNI EN 581 standard for outdoor furniture safety and resistance. The manufacturer offers a three-year warranty.

The key practical constraint is that the table and benches are a fixed unit; the benches cannot be detached. The article also notes that although the pine is pre-treated for outdoor use, buyers should clean it periodically with a soft cloth and neutral soap and apply an exterior wood protector or dense varnish once a year before winter.

Pine, Fixed Benches and the Real Cost of the 139-Euro Set

What the Discount Represents

The stated 139-euro price and 60-euro saving imply a reference price of about 199 euros, putting the current promotion roughly 30% below that level. The price includes treated solid pine, FSC certification, EN 581 compliance and a three-year warranty, but buyers should treat the pre-discount reference as a marketing benchmark rather than an independent market value.

The Fixed-Bench Trade-Off

The integrated design is deliberately rigid: because the table and side benches are one frame, the set is less likely to wobble when people sit down, but it cannot be reconfigured. That makes it the right fit for a permanent corner of a garden or terrace, and a poor fit for someone who wants occasional extra seating that can be moved or separated.

Maintenance Is a Necessary Follow-On Cost

The pine arrives pre-treated for outdoor exposure, but that treatment is described as initial protection rather than a permanent finish. Without a yearly application of an exterior wood protector or dense varnish, the sun and humidity will accelerate wear. In practice, the real cost of ownership includes both the 139-euro purchase and the time or materials for annual treatment.

Before You Buy the 139-Euro Picnic Set

  • Check the umbrella fit before buying. The table has a 40 mm central opening, so an existing umbrella pole must be compatible with that diameter or you will need another pole or adapter.
  • Measure the full footprint, not just the tabletop. The table is roughly 150 cm long and the benches are attached, so leave clearance on both sides for people to sit and move around.
  • Accept the fixed layout. The benches cannot be separated from the table; if you need modular seating, this set will not meet that requirement.
  • Budget for annual wood care. The seller recommends applying an exterior wood protector or dense varnish once a year before winter to slow sun and moisture damage.
  • Use the 139-euro price as the real comparison point. The 60-euro saving is measured against a reference price of about 199 euros; compare the set at 139 euros with other four-person wooden picnic sets rather than relying on the discount claim alone.
