Balcony breakfast today, clear walkway again in moments. When you're done, the chairs stack onto each other and tuck into a corner, giving you the full run of your balcony or patio again. No wrestling with heavy frames - it's a two-second job.
We use an aluminium frame because it cannot rust, meaning you can leave the set outside all year round. Steel-frame sets start leaving orange rust streaks on paving after a couple of wet winters. Aluminium cannot rust - inside or outside the frame - so this set stays solid year after year.
HDPE rattan will not rot, so it’s well suited to being outdoors year-round in the UK. Cheaper PVC-style weaves crack and go brittle after a couple of summers in direct sun. HDPE rattan is UV-stabilised, so it keeps its colour and flexibility - not just for one season, but for years.
If you’d rather use your weekend than maintain furniture, this set keeps things simple. The aluminium frame cannot rust, so there's no sanding or treating. A quick wipe with a damp cloth or a rinse with the hose is all the upkeep this set asks for. No cover needed.
Balconies, terraced-house courtyards and compact patios all come with the same compromise: the sets that fit are often the ones that rust, wobble, or end up being dragged into the shed every time it rains. The Sharnford Stacking Rattan Bistro Set in brown is for when you want a proper coffee spot, but you also need to keep a walkway clear or make room for plant pots.
We chose the Sharnford range because we kept seeing the same problem. Customers would come to us after two or three seasons with a steel bistro set that looked fine on day one, then started leaving orange streaks on the patio. The frame material is where most problems start - something we've learned over 23 years of testing furniture at our Leicestershire nursery. Aluminium cannot rust, meaning you can leave the set outside all year round without the corrosion you get from steel on paving or decking.
The synthetic HDPE rattan will not rot or go brittle in UV, so you're not buying something that only survives if you baby it. Steel, by contrast, corrodes from the inside out - moisture creeps in through joints and bolt holes where powder coating can't reach, and by the time you notice it on the surface, the frame is already weakened. That's a design flaw, not a maintenance issue. No cover needed with this set, saving you the £50–£100 you'd spend on one for a steel frame, plus the hassle of wrestling it on and off.
The customers who choose stacking sets aren't usually trying to store furniture - they're trying to keep their space usable. Chairs that stack mean you can clear the area in moments after eating outside, or when you need the balcony back for hanging washing or moving plant pots. All you need to do is stack the chairs and slide the set into a corner. Over 23 years, we've found that this small routine is what makes a bistro set work long-term in a tight space.
Delivery included, 3-Year Guarantee included - at £424, you're paying once for a set that lasts. The customers who spend a bit more upfront aren't the ones calling us three years later looking for a replacement. If you'd like to sit in it before you buy, you're welcome to visit our showroom at Sapcote Garden Centre in Leicestershire.
