The aluminium frame cannot rust, meaning you can leave the set outside all year round without worrying about joints corroding. Steel sets often feel solid at first, but moisture gets into joints and bolt holes where the coating cannot fully seal. After a couple of wet winters, the first orange stains appear on paving - and by then, the frame is already weakened inside.
We use UV-stabilised HDPE rattan because it will not fade, dry out, or go brittle in the sun. PVC rattan is the cheaper alternative, but it cracks and turns brittle after a couple of summers of UV exposure. HDPE holds its colour and structure season after season, which is why we specify it across the Sapcote range.
With a round dining table, everyone stays part of the conversation and no one gets marooned at the end. It also works well on a square patio or decking area where a rectangular set would block the walkway when chairs are pulled out.
The 5mm tempered safety glass is included because it copes with real outdoor use. If it ever breaks, it shatters into blunt cubes rather than sharp shards - that's the detail most retailers don't mention, and exactly why we specify tempered glass on all our dining tables.
Included cushions add comfort, and we recommend storing them when the set isn’t in use. In our experience, so-called waterproof cushions feel clammy, trap heat, and the coating cracks after a couple of summers in UV. Ours are designed for comfort, not to live outside permanently.
Rust stains on paving slabs are almost always from a steel frame: a couple of wet winters, then the first orange marks appear around joints and bolt holes. This Sapcote 4 Seater Round Dining Set in grey rattan is built to break that cycle, while keeping the look neutral enough for most patios.
We chose an aluminium frame because it cannot rust, meaning you can leave the furniture outside all year round with no cover needed. Steel frames corrode from the inside out - moisture gets trapped in joints and bolt holes where powder coating cannot fully seal. That's why steel sets often feel solid on the surface but start wobbling after a couple of seasons. By the time you notice rust outside, the frame is already weakened inside.
Most bargains aren't bargains once you've replaced the set twice. We've watched hundreds of customers come back after two or three years, usually once the frame starts failing underneath the weave. Over two decades of selling rattan furniture, that pattern is what shaped the Sapcote range - we stock rattan only, and we're particular about what goes into each set. In our experience, sets built this way are good for well over ten years.
The UV-stabilised rattan will not fade, dry out, or go brittle in direct sunlight, so the grey weave keeps its colour summer after summer. Cheaper PVC rattan cracks and turns brittle after a couple of seasons, but HDPE rattan handles the mix of strong sun, rain, and temperature swings you get in a British garden. The 5mm tempered safety glass top is included because it copes with those same temperature swings - and if it ever breaks, it shatters into blunt cubes rather than sharp shards.
At £774 with delivery included, you're buying a set you can rely on year after year. All you need to do is store the cushions away when you're not using them - the frame and rattan can stay out through the British weather without a cover. That's the whole care routine.

Very pleased with the furniture , the only thing is , it came on a huge pallet and if you're in your eighties it is difficult to dismantle
First Class Service. No problem with delivery or the majority of the items and no damage to any of the packaging but one chair frame was bent. When contacted the garden centre acted swiftly and replaced damaged chair once we supplied photographic evidence at no extra cost or transport charges.
