What is Reclining Rattan Furniture?

Reclining rattan furniture is rattan garden furniture with reclining chairs. These chairs have a backrest that can be reclined to any angle, making them comfortable for both upright sitting and lying down relaxing.

Rattan garden furniture is typically the modern style, using handwoven synthetic strands around a metal frame. We make sure our range is weatherproof by using an aluminium frame that won’t rust, and UV-stabilized rattan that won’t rot or fade.

How to Buy Reclining Rattan

There are lots of reclining options, so here are some things to look out for:

Frame Materials

If you’re spending money on a furniture set, you want to make sure it’s built to last. That’s why the materials of the frame are so important.

We recommend you choose an aluminium frame, as it won’t rust (so can be left outside all year) , and it can be easily moved around as it’s light.

We recommend you avoid steel frames, as they will rust, and you can tell a set is steel by lifting it up, as it will be very heavy.

Rattan Type and Treatment

Not all rattan is made equal, so it’s important to pay attention to the details.

We recommend choosing handwoven rattan strands as opposed to a hard fake rattan plastic shell. This is because the shell-style plastic rattan can easily crack, making the furniture look very unattractive.

We also recommend using UV-stabilized rattan, as it won’t rot or fade in the sun. If you don’t choose this, you’ll end up with a two-tone set of furniture that will likely fall through when someone sits on it after a few years.

Cushions

Look for cushions that are washable, and have a zip compartment to easily remove the foam.

Also, look for cushions that are reasonably thick. You often find on cheaper sets the cushions are only a few cm thick, which aren’t comfortable to sit on for long periods.

Reclining Angle

Finally, you should pay attention to the angle you can recline and how many options you have. If there are only 1 or 2 options for an angle, then it may not be comfortable for you, as everyone is different.

Look for a chair that offers unlimited angles using a hydraulic system, as you can then adjust it to the perfect angle for you.

Can Reclining Rattan Furniture Be Left Outside?

Yes, our premium reclining rattan furniture can be left outside, in fact, it can be left outside all year without a cover as it’s weatherproof. All we ask is that you store the cushions, as these are not weatherproof (weatherproof cushions aren’t very comfy).

You can read more in our reclining rattan buyers guide here.

How Fast is Delivery for Reclining Rattan?

We aim to dispatch all of our reclining furniture within 3 days and deliver within 7 working days. However, it’s often a lot sooner than this.

Do You Have Covers for the Reclining Rattan Chairs?

We do stock covers for our reclining furniture sets, which you can find here. However you don’t need a cover, so we only recommend one if you think your furniture will get dirty when left uncovered.
