Stylish garden furniture that is easy to store and 'looks amazing' now reduced by 30%
If space is at a premium in a garden and storage is an issue too, then garden furniture that is thoughtfully designed and can be folded to be packed away as compact as possible is very appealing. But the Compact Wooden Folding Dining Set, now reduced by 30% from £199 to £139.30 by Dunelm is not just practical, it's pretty too, with one happy buyer stating: "Really pleased with this set of table and chairs, looks amazing on my patio." The dining set has four folding chairs and the table folds up too, taking up so little space when it is not needed, and the impressive design doesn't stop there, with one buyer explaining: "Easy to stack away and love the table wheels, means I can move it without asking for help." Constructed from eucalyptus wood, the Compact Wooden Folding Dining Set comes with four folding chairs and a folding table, can be wiped cleaned with a damp cloth and is described by Dunelm as arriving at a home 'part-assembled'. Alternatives to the Compact Wooden Folding Dining Set are the Habitat Hector 4 Seater Rattan Effect Patio Set now half price to £150.00 in the company's clearance sale and the CASARIA® Sydney Wooden Garden Dining Table and Chairs Set that seats four and also folds away but boasts 'made with materials from well-managed forests, recycled materials and/or other controlled wood sources' now reduced by 15% to £174 from Amazon. Back to Dunelm and the complements keep coming for their Compact Wooden Folding Dining Set, with one reviewer saying: "A super patio set and just the right size, chairs are comfortable and the table is strong and sturdy and a lovely shade of wood, have had lots of compliments from my family and friends on it." The value for money was also a feature of the purchase that reviewers mentioned, with one saying: "Excellent value quality hard wood absolute bargain at half price!!!" and another adding: "Great quality and good value. Great set and very happy with purchase. Perfect for small garden." The recurring more negative feedback for the set was its assembly - many buyers say it is easy to put together but some point out that the instructions are poor but the furniture is worth the effort for most. One customer says: "Very nice looking set but the instructions for the table assembly are really unhelpful and could be better. However we love the size and the chairs are so comfortable you don't even need cushions apart from decorative obvs .Definitely recommend but you need patience to put the table together."

Cold weather and scant rains worry Ivory Coast cocoa farmers
ABIDJAN, Aug 4 (Reuters) - A persistent cold spell across most of Ivory Coast's cocoa-growing regions could jeopardize the development of the next October-to-March main crop, farmers warned on Monday, saying plantations need more sunshine and rain. The world's largest cocoa producer is in the middle of the rainy season, which runs officially from April to mid-November. Rains are typically abundant during this period, but last week were well below average. Farmers told Reuters the crop was developing well at the moment, cautioning that cold weather could prevent trees from reaching their maximum potential. Growers said there was a good mix of small, average and big, almost ripe pods on trees. In some regions, farmers said bean supply was very tight, but that availability would rise from mid-August. Without more rainfall and sunshine in the coming weeks, farmers said some young pods, known as cherelles, could fall from branches, affecting the crop outlook. "Plantations need more rain and sunshine," said Kouassi Kouame, who farms near the western region of Soubre, where just 1.6 millimetres (mm) of rain fell last week, 10.4 mm below the five-year average. Similar comments were reported in the southern regions of Agboville and Divo, and in the eastern region of Abengourou, where rains were well below average. Farmers there said in the next two weeks they were expecting more rain and sunshine that would boost the crop. In the west-central region of Daloa, in the central regions of Bongouanou and Yamoussoukro, where rains were also well below average, farmers said the crop was developing well for now. Farmers added that some growers had started to stockpile the few harvested beans they had, hoping to hold onto them until early October when a new marketing price will be set. They expect the price to be significantly higher than the current 2,200 CFA francs ($3.90) per kg. Farmers said the government would opt for a big price hike in order to encourage growers to vote for it in October's presidential election. "The quantities coming from the bush will increase this month. But very few farmers will want to sell," said Celestin Goli, who farms near Daloa, where 3.4 mm of rain fell last week, 16.1 mm below the average. Weekly average temperatures across Ivory Coast last week ranged from 24.3 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit) to 27.9 C (82 F). ($1 = 564.0000 CFA francs)
