Burbage Reclining Rattan Corner Lounge Set in Stone Grey

Materials and real-world care

The UV-stabilised HDPE rattan will not fade, rot, or go brittle, so you can leave the weave out through British summers without it cracking. PVC rattan - used on cheaper sets - breaks down under prolonged UV exposure, which is why we chose HDPE instead. Cushions are included for comfort, and we deliberately avoided waterproof fabrics: the coating feels clammy, traps heat, and tends to crack after a couple of summers in direct sun. All you need to do is store the cushions away when you're not using them, and wipe the frame and rattan down with soapy water when needed.

Are the cushions waterproof?

No, and we prefer it that way. Waterproof cushions tend to feel clammy, trap heat, and the coating cracks after a couple of summers in UV. These cushions are made for comfort - all you need to do is store them indoors or in a cushion box when not in use.

Why does this reclining corner lounge set cost more than a stand

You're paying for dual reclining ends and an adjustable height table - not just a static corner sofa. This effectively replaces both a dining set and a lounge set, meaning less furniture on the patio for the same functionality. The aluminium frame cannot rust, which is the long-term difference versus steel-frame sets that typically need replacing after two or three wet winters.

How much assembly is required and what does it arrive in?

Hardly any. Slot each backrest into its seat and you're done. No tools, no screws, no fittings. The table arrives assembled and ready to use.

How does the adjustable height table help day to day?

Raised, it's at a height where you can actually eat outside comfortably. Lowered, it suits lounging with drinks or a book. Our customers tell us this is what stops the patio feeling cluttered - one table that works both ways, rather than trying to fit a dining table and a coffee table into the same space.

Do you have a showroom where I can see this type of set before b

Our showroom at Sapcote Garden Centre in Leicestershire is open 7 days a week. Our helpful and knowledgeable staff can walk you through the differences between reclining sets, static corner sets, and sofa dining configurations in person - we've been selecting and testing garden furniture at this site since 2001.

Will the stone grey rattan fade in the sun?

The weave is UV-stabilised HDPE rattan, which will not fade or go brittle in normal outdoor conditions. PVC rattan - the type used on cheaper sets - cracks and discolours after a couple of summers. HDPE is made to handle prolonged sun exposure without degrading, so the stone grey colour holds.

Can I leave the Burbage reclining rattan set outside all year ro

The aluminium frame cannot rust and the HDPE rattan is UV-stabilised, so neither needs a winter cover - leave them outside all year round. We advise storing the cushions when you're not using them, just as you would with any comfortable garden cushions.

Delivery is included in the price, 3-7 working days to mainland UK. Your furniture is delivered on pallets via our courier, and we'll email you a timed delivery window so you're not waiting around all day.

Worth knowing: our courier delivers to the kerbside or driveway, they won't take items around the back of the house, and the pallet and boxes are left with you. If you'd prefer a white-glove delivery with set-up and rubbish taken away, get in touch and we can usually help.

We dispatch from our Leicestershire garden centre. "In stock" means we have it here, ready to send, not drop-shipped from a third-party warehouse.

Returns: if you're not happy, let us know within 7 days and you can return it within 30 days for a refund (minus return delivery costs). The furniture must be in its original condition and packaging, and we'll arrange the collection with you.
