Rattan Dining Sets

Garden Centre Shopping rattan dining sets are weatherproof and aluminium-framed, built to leave outside all year (no cover required). Family-run from our Leicestershire showroom since 2001, with cushions, delivery, and a 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee included on every set.

For 23 years we've watched customers come in after a couple of wet winters with steel-frame sets that rusted through the joints, looking for one that just stays where you left it in October. They tell us the same story: the cheap set was meant to last five years and lasted barely two, and they're not interested in repeating that experiment. We don't sell those sets, and we never have.

Garden Centre Shopping has been selecting and making rattan garden furniture in Leicestershire for 23 years, under our Sapcote, Burbage and Sharnford ranges. Every set in this range carries the same 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee, whether you spend £674 on a 4-seater or £2,549 on a modular corner. You can pick a 4-seater for a tighter patio, a 6-seater round for proper family dining, or a modular corner for a longer afternoon.

Garden Centre Shopping Rattan Dining Sets. Leave Outside All Year, No Cover Required.

Garden Centre Shopping rattan dining sets are made for actual British weather and actual British use, not for the Mediterranean terrace they're usually photographed against. We design every set in this range to stay outside through wet winters, take a long meal without the cushions giving up, and still look the same three years later. That gives you a set you can leave outside through every November and walk past in March without flinching.

• Aluminium Frame That Cannot Rust:

  You probably already remember what steel frames do underneath their powder coating: orange streaks running down the table legs, joints that wiggle, bolts you can't turn anymore. We make every frame in the Sapcote, Burbage and Sharnford ranges from solid aluminium with a 0.2mm powder coating, 2.5 to 3 times thicker than the 0.06-0.08mm coating most aluminium garden furniture frames get. That thickness seals our frames through every frost cycle, so moisture never works its way in at joints or bolt holes where thinner coatings give up first.

• UV-Stabilised HDPE Rattan:

  We've watched PVC rattan go chalky by the second summer and snap at the joints by the third, the cheaper alternative dominating the budget rattan tier. We specify UV-stabilised HDPE across every set in this range. It's non-toxic, fully recyclable, and holds its colour through full UK winters and summers. Our rattan won't fade, won't rot, won't crack.

• Leave Outside All Year, No Cover Required:

  When you spend every spring wrestling a cover off the dining set and finding the patio underneath looking like it's been left in a shed for six months, you know how much work covers actually create. We didn't want that hassle for our own customers. Every aluminium frame and HDPE weave in this range handles wet British winters and a UV-heavy summer without a cover at any point. You just store the cushions when you're not using them, and our frames take care of the rest.

• Thick Cushions With Removable Washable Covers:

  When you sit through a long Sunday lunch with the family round the table for a couple of hours, you'll feel a cushion start to compress somewhere around the half-hour mark on the 6-8cm cushions sold in the cheaper tier. We make our cushions 10cm thick with removable washable covers, and we deliberately don't make them waterproof. We think of waterproof cushions like leather car seats: if air can't get through the fabric, you end up just getting hot.

• 5mm Tempered Safety Glass:

  If you have kids or grandkids running around the patio, the question with any glass-topped dining table is what happens when something hits it. We use a 5mm tempered safety glass top on every Sapcote, Burbage and Sharnford dining table in this range, designed to crumble into small blunt granules rather than shatter into sharp shards. This is the same standard you find on a car windscreen, basically.

• 3-Year Guarantee Backed By A Real Showroom:

  We've been running our Leicestershire showroom since 2001, and we still answer the phone there 7 days a week. Every set in this range comes with our 3-Year Rust-Free Structural Guarantee and a helpful and knowledgeable team that includes Andrew, who runs the place. If you have a problem three years in, you'll be talking to the same family business that sold you the set.

Garden Centre Shopping Outdoor Dining Sets. For Long Sunday Roasts And Late August Evenings.

The Sapcote, Burbage and Sharnford ranges in this dining lineup cover everything from a 4-seater for tighter patios to an 8-seater modular corner with a height-adjustable centre table. We've grouped a set for each shape of patio and each kind of evening, so you can pick by capacity, footprint, and whether you lean back at the table after eating.

• Sharnford Stacking 4 Seater Rattan Dining Set in Grey - When you buy your first proper outdoor dining set on a tighter patio, our Sharnford Stacking 4 Seater gives you a 4-seater where the chairs stack into a small footprint when you're not using them. We build it from the same aluminium frame and HDPE rattan as everything else in the range, so you're not paying less by getting lower-grade materials underneath. Our entry tier set at £674 with delivery included.
• Sapcote 6 Seater Round Dining Set in Grey Rattan - When you have both sets of parents and the kids around one table for Sunday lunch, our Sapcote 6 Seater Round gives you a 140cm tempered safety glass top with six dining chairs at 57cm wide each. With six seats spaced around a 140cm circle, no one ends up at the corner-of-the-table position you get on a long rectangular six-seater. Our median-priced dining set at £1,049 with delivery included.
• Sapcote Modular Corner Dining Set in Dark Grey Rattan - If your patio's an L-shape, a corner with a flowerbed cut into it, or just an awkward space where a rectangular set leaves dead air at one end, our Sapcote Modular Corner is the configuration we'd recommend. We make the pieces to push together as a full corner, split into two banks for different parts of the garden, or reconfigure as a left-hand or right-hand L without tools or fixed brackets. Our mid-range modular at £1,549 with 10cm cushions and delivery included.
• Burbage 6 Seater Round Reclining Dining Set in Cappuccino Rattan - Our Burbage 6 Seater Round is the set we recommend for the bit at the end of the meal when you can't face moving and you just want to lean back where you are. Each chair has a hydraulic recline lever on the right arm, so you can set any back angle rather than clicking between three or four preset positions on a notched mechanism. Our high-tier dining set at £2,149 with delivery included.
• Burbage Large Rattan Corner Lounge Set with Height Adjustable Table in Latte - The Burbage Large solves a specific buying problem: you've been pricing both a dining set and a corner lounge separately for a larger garden, but the patio doesn't need two installations. Our height-adjustable centre table switches from dining height to coffee table height in a few seconds, and the modular L-shape pieces split or push together as you use the garden through the day. Our top-of-range set at £2,549 with delivery included.

To narrow down further, we've grouped these into round dining sets, 6 seater sets, 4 seater sets, and sofa dining sets.

We design every rattan dining set in this range to outlast at least the next decade of Sunday lunches. We back ours with aluminium that cannot rust, hand-woven HDPE that won't crack, and cushions thick enough to sit on for hours. They are built for the bit at the end of the meal when you can't face moving. Our showroom has the full range on display if you want to sit in one before you commit.
