Stack the armchairs vertically, six into one column, so the patio floor opens up between meals. Move the column out of the way and the space is yours again. Most 6-seater dining sets fix their footprint year-round, whether the chairs are in use or not.
Every chair carries a brushed aluminium handle on the back as the grip point for lifting and stacking. You grip the metal handle rather than pulling on the rattan weave, which is quicker for six chairs in a row and avoids loosening the weave at the contact point over years of use.
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.
Six people round a rectangle gives a seat at each end for the grandparents, room for serving platters down the middle, and a natural fit against a wall or fence edge. A round 6-seater cannot offer that geometry; the rectangular shape was the buyer's deliberate choice.
Grey is the safe modern aesthetic for UK gardens. It looks right against grey paving slabs, brick patios, light-toned decking, and most fence colours without clashing. UV-stabilised, so the Grey tone doesn't bleach or chalk the way cheaper grey rattan does after a couple of summers.
Yes. Stack all six armchairs into a single column, lift the column to one side, and the floor is back in a couple of minutes. A wall corner, a shed, a back-door alcove all work. Most 6-seater rectangular dining sets commit the full patio footprint to dining every day of the year, whether the chairs are in use or not. We chose this set for the range because customers kept telling us they wanted a proper 6-seater for the meals that warrant it, without losing the patio for kids' play, a barbecue, or a walkway the rest of the week. A brushed aluminium handle is built into every chair back as the lift point, so you grip metal rather than the rattan weave when you're stacking six in a row.
In dining mode, allow roughly three metres total length for the table and chairs to be pulled out, with clearance for someone to walk behind the chairs along the long side. The rectangular shape pushes against a wall or a fence edge in a way a round 6-seater cannot, so the floor space is used efficiently. Mark the footprint with masking tape on your patio first if you're unsure, that's usually enough to confirm the fit before you order.
Once the chairs are stacked, you can tuck the column into a corner footprint of roughly seventy by seventy centimetres; the table by itself takes much less space than the full dining layout. For a medium paved patio, a porcelain terrace, or a rectangular decking area where the floor doubles as a walkway or a play space, this gives you six proper seats for the Sunday lunches and the floor back the rest of the time.
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 rectangular dining sets 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. The chairs on those sets rarely stack either, so once the rust starts there's nowhere to tuck them out of sight while you decide what to do.
Considering a brand-name 6-seater dining 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, similar tempered glass top. We design our own ranges, with the Sharnford Stacking being our 6-seater stackable-dining option, and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, without the excessive markup of big name brands.

Love my 'tulip' set from Sapcote. 6 seater rectangular set. Bought a little side table too.
