4 Seat Aluminium Rattan Lounge Sofa Set in Dark Grey

The frame is aluminium, which matters more than anything else. If you’ve owned a steel-frame set before, you’ll know what happens after a couple of wet winters. This 4-seat lounge set is made to avoid that hassle. The aluminium frame cannot rust, meaning you can leave it outside all year round with no cover needed for the frame or rattan.

We only stock rattan furniture we’d put in our own garden, because we got tired of hearing the same stories about rust, cracked weave and sets that looked tired after two summers. The rattan here is synthetic and UV-stabilised, so it handles sun far better than PVC rattan that goes brittle and fades. Unlike steel-frame sets, which often start corroding from the inside at joints and bolt holes, aluminium doesn’t have that problem.

You get 2 single lounge chairs, 1 lounge sofa and 2 coffee tables, plus dark grey cushions. The chairs measure 69cm long x 85cm wide x 89cm high, the sofa is 140cm long x 85.5cm wide x 89cm high, and each coffee table is topped with 5mm tempered safety glass. That glass matters in British weather too, because tempered safety glass handles temperature swings better than standard glass. All you need to do is store the cushions away when you’re not using them and give the frame or rattan a quick wipe down now and then.

Assembly is minimal, with full instructions included and no tools required, so you’re not losing a Saturday to flat-pack misery. Delivery included. Cushions included. 3-year rust-free structural guarantee included. It arrives on a pallet, we check it before it ships, and we’re here if you need us after it arrives.

If you’d rather buy once than replace every 2 or 3 seasons, this is the point of going for aluminium in the first place. With simple cushion care, an aluminium rattan set like this is built for well over 10 years, not just a couple of decent summers.
