Feature Highlights
-
01Side handle, any angle, holds where you stop
The handle on the chair arm controls the backrest in small steps, so you stop at the angle your back wants instead of clicking through three preset notches. Reach for a mug, shift to talk, and the chair holds its angle instead of springing forward.
-
02
Built to live outside year-round, mechanism included
Aluminium frame with a 0.2mm powder coating, so it cannot rust. Every hinge, pivot and bolt point in the recline mechanism is aluminium too, where a steel recliner would seize after two winters. The rattan is UV-stabilised and the glass top is 5mm tempered safety glass. Leave it outside all year, no cover needed.
-
03
Dark grey rattan for contemporary patios, not warm-tone borders
Dark grey sits well with anthracite porcelain, grey slate paving, charcoal composite decking, and the architectural planting that goes with them. The set reads as part of a contemporary patio rather than fighting against it.
-
04
Store 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 that needs care; all you need to do is keep them in a storage box, or bring them indoors between uses.

Is the recline actually useful, or one of those notched things with three preset angles?
It is actually useful. The side handle on the chair arm controls the backrest, and the chair locks at whatever angle you stop on rather than clicking through three or four presets. We designed this set differently from the notched recliners that you find in the cheap end of the category.
A notched recliner gives you three preset angles, and usually none of them is quite the angle your back wants. With a side handle, you pull, the back tilts, you let go where it feels right, and the chair locks. Reach for a mug, shift to talk, lean back further when the sun comes round, and the chair stays where you set it instead of springing forward. In our experience, this is the difference between a chair you sit in every afternoon and one you give up on after a couple of weeks.
Is it really all-weather, no cover needed, including the recline mechanism?
Yes, and the mechanism question matters more on a reclining set than on a fixed one. 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. Every hinge, pivot and bolt point in the recline mechanism is aluminium too, which is the part that matters: a steel-frame recliner corrodes exactly there, where moisture collects. The mechanism on a steel recliner stiffens then seizes mid-recline inside two or three wet seasons, even when the rest of the frame still looks fine. We also use hand-woven 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.
Does dark grey rattan look right on my patio?
It depends what your patio looks like. Dark grey sits well with anthracite porcelain tiles, grey slate paving, charcoal composite decking, and the kind of contemporary garden where the planting leans architectural: ornamental grasses, agapanthus, structural evergreens. The set reads as part of the patio in that context rather than sitting on top of it.
If your patio is warm-tone block paving, timber decking, or sandstone surrounded by cottage planting, our Sapcote range in brown is the variant we would point you at instead. Dark grey is for the garden where you want the furniture to read as architecture; brown is for the garden where you want it to settle in alongside the planting. Both are UV-stabilised, so the colour doesn't fade for years, where untreated rattan fades out within two summers.
How does this compare to other reclining sets at this price?
Cheaper reclining sets at this size use steel frames that rust within two winters, and the rust is usually worst at the hinges and bolt holes where moisture collects. They also pair the frame with PVC rattan that goes brittle in the sun. You'd be back shopping for a replacement set inside three years, and there would be a seized recline mechanism and rust streaks on your paving .
Considering a brand-name reclining set at £1,500 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, 5mm tempered glass. 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 | Aluminium frame because it cannot rust, meaning you can leave it outside all year round. Wipe down with a damp cloth if you need to. |
| Rattan Care | UV-stabilised rattan will not fade or go brittle, meaning it stays looking consistent in sun and rain. Hose down gently now and again to remove dust and pollen. |
| Cushion Care | All you need to do is store your cushions away when you're not using them (indoors or in a storage box). We design cushions for comfort - we hate waterproof cushions - so they'll last longer if they're kept out of rain and damp. |
| Glass Care | 5mm tempered safety glass - wipe clean with a soft cloth and glass cleaner. Tempered glass handles outdoor temperature swings without cracking. |
| Winter Care | Leave the frame and rattan outside all year round - no cover needed. Store the cushions away so they stay dry and comfortable. |
| Assembly | We keep assembly minimal wherever we can. If you'd like us to talk you through what arrives and what needs doing, call us on 01455 274748 and our helpful and knowledgeable staff will help. |
