Sapcote Companion Set in Grey Rattan
The chairs sit at an angle and meet across the table, so you face each other when you talk rather than staring straight ahead like a pair on a bench
Grey UV-stabilised rattan over an aluminium frame, 5mm tempered glass on the table top.

Feature Highlights
-
01Angled for two, not side-by-side on a bench
The two chairs turn inward, with a small angled table between them, so you talk face-on rather than out at the garden. Drinks sit between you on the glass, not balanced on a chair arm.
-
02Sized for a balcony, courtyard or sun-trap corner
The shallow V-shape sits in roughly a 2m by 1m footprint, so a balcony, a terraced courtyard, or the sun-trap corner of a patio accommodates the whole set without crowding planters or blocking a doorway.
-
03Built to live outside year-round
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. 5mm tempered glass doesn't crack in British winters the way ordinary glass can. Leave it outside all year, no cover needed.
-
04Store the cushions, leave the rest outside
The aluminium frame and the UV-stabilised rattan stay outside all year without a cover. Cushions are the only part you'll want to bring in of an evening; pop them in a storage box, or take them indoors between sittings.

Is the angled set-up actually different from a straight bench?
Yes. On a straight Jack-and-Jill bench, both of you face the garden, both of you stare straight ahead, and after twenty minutes one of you is twisting your neck to hold a conversation. We designed this set differently.
The two chairs sit at an angle and meet across the table, so you naturally turn toward each other when you talk and your mug or glass sits within reach on the tempered glass top rather than balanced on a chair arm. The angled layout is the reason customers buy a companion set instead of two folding chairs and a side table from the shed: this set is set up for morning coffee or an evening drink for two, not a chair pulled in from inside.
Will it fit a small patio or balcony?
Yes, usually. The shallow V-shape sits in a footprint of roughly two metres by one metre, with clearance behind each chair for walking past. Mark the footprint out with masking tape on the slabs first if your space is tight, that's usually enough to confirm the fit before you order.
Compared with a four-seater dining set, this companion footprint frees up the rest of a small patio for planters, a path, or a back-door swing. The scale suits a balcony, a sun-trap corner, or a terraced courtyard where a larger set would crowd the space.
Is it really all-weather, no cover needed?
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 UV-stabilised synthetic rattan, 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.
Cheaper grey companion sets at this size hide a steel frame under the weave that rusts at the joints and bolt holes within a couple of wet winters, and they pair it with PVC rattan that bleaches and cracks in the sun. You'd be back shopping for a replacement set inside three years, and there'll be orange streaks across your paving in the meantime. We design our own Sapcote range and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, so you get reasonable prices without the excessive markup of big name brands.
| Care & Assembly | |
|---|---|
| Frame Care | Aluminium frame because it cannot rust, meaning you can leave the set outside all year round. Wipe down with a damp cloth when needed. |
| Rattan Care | UV-stabilised rattan won't fade or go brittle in the sun. Hose it down occasionally to shift dust and pollen. |
| Cushion Care | All you need to do is store the cushions indoors or in a storage box when you're not using the set. That single step is what keeps them comfortable for years. |
| Glass Care | 5mm tempered safety glass - wipe clean with glass cleaner. Tempered glass copes with temperature swings better than standard glass. |
| Winter Care | Leave the frame and rattan outside all year round - no cover needed. Store cushions away and you're done. |
| Assembly | Minimal assembly required. Full instructions included. |
| Assembly Tools Needed | No tools required. |

I had an issue with an order, which was entirely of my own making. Dom provided a very helpful and responsive solution and we are now the proud owners of the Burbage Non-Rocking/Rocking & Reclining Rattan Bistro set, which looks fantastic on our deck and is very comfortable. 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.
