Grey Rattan Aluminium Corner Sofa Dining Set 6 Seat

Most garden chairs expect you to sit bolt-upright and call it relaxing. We specialise in reclining garden furniture first and foremost. This corner sofa dining set takes a different route to the same idea: proper comfort for long afternoons outside, with room for six and a dining-height table so you can actually eat there rather than balancing a plate on your knees.

The frame is powder-coated aluminium. Aluminium cannot rust, meaning you can leave the set outside all year round without worrying about the frame rotting from the inside. That’s the problem with steel-frame garden furniture: moisture gets into joints and bolt holes where coatings can’t fully protect it, so rust starts where you can’t see it first. The grey rattan is hand-woven PE and UV-stabilised. Cheap PVC rattan can turn brittle and fade after a couple of summers of UV.

You get the full corner sofa, the dining table, thick seat cushions and full back cushions included. The seating layout gives you a more relaxed way to dine than a row of rigid chairs, especially if you’re out for more than half an hour. The cushions are shower-proof rather than waterproof by design. Waterproof cushions can feel clammy, and the outer coating tends to crack in UV. All you need to do is store the cushions when they’re not in use, and the removable covers can be washed when needed.

For day-to-day use, it’s straightforward. The table surface wipes clean, and the frame and rattan don’t need a cover to survive winter, which saves you the usual extra cost and hassle of wrestling with one every time the weather changes. Delivery is included in the price shown, and cushions come included with removable covers.

If you’d rather buy once than replace a rusty steel set after two or three seasons, this is a sensible option. Six seats, a dining-height table, removable cushion covers, and a frame built for the long haul.
