Rattan garden sofas range from around £90 for a single sofa chair to over £1,600 for a large corner set with adjustable table — so it's worth being clear on your space, your budget, and how you plan to use the furniture before you buy.
How to Choose the Right Rattan Sofa
- Measure first, buy second — leave at least 60–90cm of clearance around the furniture. A three-seater sofa with coffee table typically needs a minimum footprint of around 2.5m x 2m.
- Match the layout to how you use the space — a two- or three-seater lounge set suits relaxed everyday use; a corner sofa is better for hosting and makes efficient use of boundary walls.
- Check the cushion spec — cushion thickness, fill quality, and fabric type vary across the range. Look for high-density foam and water-resistant or Olefin fabric for the best longevity.
- Consider the frame weight — heavier aluminium frames are more stable in wind but harder to move. If you rearrange your garden regularly, look for sets with lighter frames or wheels.
- Think about winter storage — the PE rattan frame can stay outside year-round, but cushions benefit from being stored indoors or covered. Pair your set with a fitted furniture cover to protect both.
Delivery & What to Expect
Smaller sofa sets are typically delivered via courier in flat-pack boxes. Larger sets and corner sofas may arrive on a pallet with a pre-arranged delivery slot. All orders include free UK delivery — you'll receive tracking as soon as your order is dispatched.
Will it last in the UK weather?
PE rattan is specifically engineered for outdoor use in the UK climate — UV-stabilised, water-resistant, and frost-tolerant. The powder-coated aluminium frame won't rust. With a cover during winter, a quality set will last 8–10 years or more.
Is it worth the price?
Entry-level sets from £90–£200 are good for occasional use on a sheltered patio. For everyday use or exposed gardens, sets in the £300–£600 range offer significantly better cushion quality, frame weight, and weave density.
