One motion takes the top from coffee level (drinks, mug-and-newspaper afternoons) to dining level (plates, knives and forks, a glass that won't go over). One piece of furniture replaces two outside, freeing up the rest of the patio. Lift the table when food comes out, drop it back afterwards.
A linear shape, an against-wall placement, or a new-build patio that isn't deep enough for a corner all accommodate the set without orphaning a section. The patio depth stays clear for planters, a path, or a doorway.
Aluminium frame with a 0.2mm powder coating, so it cannot rust. The synthetic rattan is UV-stabilised, so it won't fade, rot, or go brittle in the sun. Leave it outside all year, no cover needed.
The aluminium frame and the UV-stabilised rattan stay outside all year without a cover. The cushions get a once-a-day routine: keep them in a storage box on the patio, or bring them indoors between sittings.
It lifts the top from a low position used for drinks and an evening's reading up to proper eating level, in one motion. The difference between a coffee-height table and a dining-height table is the difference between balancing a plate on your knees and eating properly. Drop the table low for an hour outside with a glass of wine after work, then raise it when you carry plates out for Sunday lunch, then drop it again afterwards when the dishes clear.
The point of the lift is that most patios don't have space for both a sofa set and a separate dining set. We designed this set so one piece of furniture serves both heights, which frees up the rest of the patio for planters, a path to the back door, or just the seating itself.
Because plenty of patios don't suit a corner. A long thin patio that runs along one wall of the house, an against-wall placement bounded by a fence or a planted border, a new-build patio that doesn't reach the three-metre depth a corner sofa needs, or a courtyard where one side of an L would face a dead wall. A straight sofa lounge fits all of those without orphaning a section the way a corner set does.
The other side of it: a corner sofa locks four seats into one shape on day one. A straight sofa sits along one face of the patio and leaves the depth clear for the route past the back door, the planters along the boundary, or the BBQ when it comes out.
Yes. The frame is aluminium, which cannot rust, and we use a 0.2mm powder coating, two to three times thicker than what most aluminium garden furniture carries, so the coating doesn't break down through wet winters and freezing nights. We also use hand-woven UV-stabilised synthetic rattan, which won't fade, rot or go brittle when left outside year-round.
This means the structure is fully weatherproof and doesn't need a cover or storage, so it saves you the hassle and the £50 to £100 a cover would cost. In our experience, customers come back ten or fifteen years later saying their rattan is just as good as when they first bought it. The one thing to bring in of an evening is the cushions; a deck box on the patio or a shelf indoors keeps them dry between sittings.
Cheaper four-seat lounge sofas at this size use steel frames that rust within a couple of winters, paired with PVC rattan that goes brittle in the sun. You'd be replacing the whole thing sooner and dealing with rust streaks on your paving in the meantime.
Considering a brand-name lounge sofa for four at £2,500 or more? You'd be paying mainly for the marketing and the polished website. The actual furniture is almost exactly the same as ours: aluminium frame, UV-stabilised rattan, height-adjustable table. We design our own Oakham range, named after a Leicestershire village like our Sapcote, Burbage, Burton and Sharnford ranges, and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, without the excessive markup of big name brands.

Excellent delivery and communication.
Easy to order, fast delivery and a lovely product, seriously beautiful, comfortable chairs. I was happy to pay £1099 for them because they were advertised as being able ti leave out in all weathers including the winter.
