6 Seat Aluminium Rattan Corner Dining Set in Dark Grey

If you’ve owned a steel-frame set before, you’ll know what happens after a couple of wet winters. This 6 seat corner dining set is built to stop that cycle. The frame is aluminium, so it cannot rust, meaning you can leave it outside all year round without needing a cover for the frame or rattan. That’s exactly why we choose sets like this — we’re rattan garden furniture specialists, and we only stock what we’d actually use ourselves.

Steel rusts from the inside out: moisture gets in through joints and bolt holes where powder coating can’t fully protect. By the time you see rust outside, the internal structure has already started to weaken. This set uses synthetic rattan over an aluminium frame, with UV-stabilised HDPE rattan rather than PVC, which can crack, fade, and turn brittle after a couple of summers in UV. If you’d rather buy once than replace every 2-3 seasons, this is the sensible route.

You get 1 dining table, 1 x 1 arm sofa, 1 x 2 arm sofa, 2 ottomans, plus seat and back cushions. The cushions are 10cm thick, which makes a real difference compared with 6-8cm pads on many lower-end sets, where they often feel fine for 30-40 minutes and then flatten. The table is 67cm high, so you can actually sit and eat properly outside, not just balance a plate on a coffee table. The full footprint is 225cm x 258cm. Most full-size corner sets need around 3m x 3m of space, so it’s worth checking your patio before ordering.

Care is straightforward. All you need to do is store the cushions indoors when not in use, and especially over winter, because good outdoor cushions aren’t waterproof by design — that’s what keeps them more comfortable and helps avoid the clammy feel and cracking coatings you get with waterproof versions. The frame and rattan just wipe clean with a damp cloth or hose. The table uses 5mm tempered safety glass, which handles British temperature swings better than standard glass in frost.

Delivery included. Cushions included. Full instructions included. It arrives on pallets with minimal assembly required, and no tools are needed. We stock our furniture ourselves, check it before it ships, and we’re here if you need us after it arrives too.
