    Welcome, Jasper.
    I guess you are in New Zealand or Australia, Fler is an Aussie brand. I think you could be right, but we need Aussies to verify it.
    Paging @Miscstuff @CheersDears @Chris Mount (hope I've got that right:nailbiting:)
    In the meantine, could you check if there is a Fler mark anywhere, maybe underside of the seats or table?

    For the others, here is some info on Fler:

    Welcome Jasper.
    AJ is right about finding a mark unless the model can be identified. Fler were very prolific in Australia with hundreds of designs and there were copycats and Scandinavian companies also exporting their wares to Australia. There must be a collector somewhere with a catalog of all the models but I can't find them online. If you look on Eboo you will see a lot described as "Fler era" because they have no marks/stickers but still it is the current trend and they sell for quite a bit. Yours look quite "fresh" so possibly restored. Found a few pictures of the furniture displays from 1963-7 showing quite a change in the styles.

    Sorry I can't be more helpful but @CheersDears @Chris Mount might do better.

    I think the age is dead on, from the design. I'd give that house room too.

    The only thing I can confirm is that it is authentic as my grandparents have had the set for about 54 years as they purchased it, and was fortunately kept with a plastic cover atop for many years. Thanks for everyone’s help so far if anyone has a clue as to what it is I would be very great full. Cheers

    Unfortunately I’m having to sell the piece on eBaY, it’s just really hard to get an accurate price range

    Put it on Gumtree AU, no commission, no listing fees.
    Its free, list it at a price you want, if it doesn't sell relist it and reduce the price until it does.

    It's a draw leaf table, popular in the 17th century and still popular in England, particularly in pubs.

    Any Jewelry’s third link (https://learnantiques.com.au/fler-furniture-humble-beginnings/) shows what looks like this exact table and chairs about half way down the page. In my opinion it seems safe to assume these are from Fler, though you should look for a tag, especially underneath the table. This style of draw-leaf table was also very popular in the 1960's/70's and lots were made from teak and exported from Denmark and other scandinavian countries (though Fler apparently made their own).
