Feature Highlights

  • Recline locks where you stop it, not where the notch decided
    01

    Recline locks where you stop it, not where the notch decided

    Pull the side handle by your elbow, ease the back to the angle that supports you, and the chair locks there. No three-or-four-click presets that are never quite right, and no push-back recline that springs forward when you shift your legs. Slight tilt for tea, deep recline for a long read with your feet up on the footstool.

  • Two separate footstools, not one fixed lounger
    02

    Two separate footstools, not one fixed lounger

    The footstools come as separate pieces, so they pull in front of the chairs for the feet-up position, push to the side when a friend visits and wants somewhere to perch, or tuck out of the way for the route past the back door. Sun loungers commit you to one layout; this set adjusts to the patio and the company.

  • Built to live outside year-round
    03

    Built to live outside year-round

    Aluminium frame with a 0.2mm powder coating, so it cannot rust, and that includes the recline mechanism inside each armchair where a steel-frame version would seize within a couple of winters. The hand-woven synthetic rattan is UV-stabilised, so it won't fade, rot, or go brittle in the sun. 5mm tempered safety glass top doesn't crack in British winters the way ordinary glass can. Leave it outside all year, no cover needed.

  • Store the cushions, leave the rest outside
    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 this comfortable for an afternoon outside, not just a quick coffee?

Yes. Most bistro sets at this size use upright chairs with no recline and a flat table for a mug, and ten minutes in you are back indoors looking for the sofa. We designed this set differently.

Each chair has a side handle by your elbow. Pull it, ease the backrest to the angle that feels right, and the chair locks there. The recline is not limited to three or four preset notches, and it is not a push-back mechanism that springs forward every time you shift your legs. You set the angle deliberately, the chair won't shift, and you stay where you put yourself, whether that is a slight tilt for a cup of tea or fully back for a Sunday afternoon nap. The two footstools come separately, so you can pull them in front of the chairs for the feet-up position, push them to the side as a perch when a friend visits, or tuck them under the table when you need more floor space.

Will it fit a small patio, a relaxation corner, or a balcony?

Yes, usually. The set is modular: two armchairs, two footstools, one bistro table, all standing as separate pieces, so the layout fits whatever shape the corner of your patio happens to be. Chalk the rough area on your slabs before you order, arrange the pieces in the space, and check the route past the back door clears comfortably.

The footstools coming separately is the reason this works on smaller patios. A full sun lounger needs roughly two metres of clear length with no flexibility, which is more than most balconies, terraced courtyards, or new-build patio corners can spare. Here, the footstools pull out for lounging and push away when the floor space matters, so the set scales between an upright morning-coffee layout and a feet-up afternoon-lounger layout in the same footprint.

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. The recline mechanism inside each armchair runs on aluminium components too, which matters because a steel-frame recliner would corrode exactly there, at the moving parts and bolt holes where moisture collects. We also use hand-woven UV-stabilised synthetic rattan, which won't fade, rot or go brittle when left outside year-round. The tempered glass on the bistro table 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.

How does this compare to other reclining sets at this price?

Cheaper reclining bistro sets at this size use steel frames that rust within a couple of winters, particularly at the joints around the reclining mechanism where moisture collects, and they pair the frame with PVC rattan that goes brittle in the sun. The cheaper recline is usually a push-back style that relies on bodyweight and springs forward every time you reach for a drink. You'd be replacing the set sooner and fighting the chair every time you tried to sit still in the meantime.

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, side-handle recline, tempered glass on the table. 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.

Frame Care The aluminium frame cannot rust and needs no maintenance. Wipe down with a damp cloth when needed.
Rattan Care UV-stabilised rattan will not fade, rot or go brittle, so it's happy outdoors in sun and rain. Hose down occasionally to remove dust and debris.
Cushion Care We advise storing cushions away when not in use. All you need to do is keep them dry between uses - a cushion box or indoors - and they'll stay comfortable for years.
Glass Care The 5mm tempered safety glass wipes clean with a 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 over winter and during wet spells.
Assembly Minimal assembly required. The reclining handle mechanism comes pre-installed on each chair.
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.
