Grandparents take the ends, three sit facing three along the long sides, and the platters live in a clear strip down the centre instead of being pushed to the edges. A round 6-seater leaves nothing to put a serving dish on; a cube set was designed for tucking chairs away rather than for the meal.
The rectangular shape sits naturally along a wall, fence, or run of bifold doors and slides flush against that line when the set isn't in use. The patio floor opens up for the kids, a barbecue, or a clear walk to the back door. A round 6-seater is committed to a permanent footprint in the middle of the space.
Aluminium frame with a 0.2mm powder coating, so it cannot rust. The synthetic weave is UV-stabilised, so it won't fade, rot, or go brittle in the sun. The 5mm tempered glass top doesn't crack in British winters the way ordinary glass can. Leave it outside all year, no cover needed.
Each strand is woven over the aluminium frame, so the surface has a slight give when you sit on it instead of feeling stiff like the machine-shell rattan on cheaper sets. The weave also won't crack at the first hard knock the way moulded rattan does.
Yes. Six round a rectangular table gives the head-of-the-table ends for grandparents, room down the middle for serving platters, and three-across-from-three for natural conversation. We chose the rectangular shape for the Sapcote range because customers kept telling us a round 6-seater leaves no centre space for a platter, and a cube set sizes the table around tucking the chairs away rather than around the meal itself.
For fit, allow roughly 3 metres along a wall plus clearance behind each chair for pulling out. Mark that footprint with masking tape before you order if your space is tight, then walk the route past it, that's usually enough to confirm the fit. Between meals, the rectangular shape slides flush against a wall, fence, or bifold doors and frees the patio floor, which a round 6-seater cannot do.
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. The rattan is hand-woven UV-stabilised synthetic, which won't fade, rot or go brittle when left outside year-round. The 5mm tempered safety glass top doesn't crack in British winters the way ordinary glass can.
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.
No. The UV-stabilising compounds are mixed through the synthetic material rather than coated onto the surface, so they don't wear off with rain or rubbing. The chalky bleached look you see on supermarket sets is what PVC rattan does in its second summer; our weave doesn't behave that way.
Cheaper rectangular 6-seaters at this size use steel frames that rust within a couple of winters and PVC rattan that goes brittle in the sun. You'd be replacing the set sooner and dealing with rust streaks across your paving in the meantime.
Considering a brand-name 6-seater rectangular dining set at £2,000 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, 5mm tempered glass top. We design our own Sapcote range and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, without the excessive markup of big name brands.
| Care & Assembly | |
|---|---|
| Frame Care | The aluminium frame cannot rust, meaning you can leave it outside all year round. Wipe down with a damp cloth if you need to. |

| Cushion Care | We advise storing the cushions when not in use. All you need to do is keep them in a storage box or indoors so they dry properly between uses. |
| Glass Care | The 5mm tempered safety glass top wipes clean with a soft cloth and glass cleaner. |
| Winter Care | Leave the frame and rattan outside all year round - no cover needed. Store the cushions somewhere dry. |
| Assembly | Minimal assembly required. Full instructions included. |
