Stack the armchairs vertically, four into one column, so the floor space opens up between meals. Move the column out of the way and the patio is yours again. Most 4-seater dining sets take up the full patio footprint year-round, whether you're using the chairs or not.
The table has a built-in storage compartment underneath, opened by a brushed aluminium handle. Placemats, candles, salt and pepper, the small bits that usually end up scattered across the tabletop get a dedicated home outside. The handle is aluminium because it cannot rust, same logic as the frame.
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.
The Cappuccino weave is a warm coffee-brown, softer than the dark grey rattan that has been the default for years. It looks right on patios where the substrate already carries warm notes. UV-stabilised, so the Cappuccino tone doesn't bleach or chalk the way cheaper warm-tone rattan does after a couple of summers.
Yes. Stack all four armchairs into a single column, lift the column to one side, and the floor is back in under a minute. A wall corner, a shed wall, the back-door alcove, all work. Most 4-seater 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 dining set for the meals that matter, without losing the patio for the kids, a barbecue, or a walkway the rest of the week.
In dining mode, allow roughly 2.5 metres total width for the table and the four chairs to be pulled out, with a walkway behind each seat. Mark the footprint with masking tape on your patio first if you're unsure, that's usually enough to confirm the fit. Once the chairs are stacked, you can tuck the column into a corner footprint of around 70 by 70 centimetres; the table by itself takes a fraction of the dining-mode space.
For a medium paved patio, a timber decking area, or a muted-warm brick courtyard where the floor doubles as a walkway or a play space, this gives you four proper seats when you want them and the floor back when you don't.
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 over time.
This means the structure is weatherproof on its own and doesn't need a cover or seasonal storage, so it saves you the hassle of wrestling a cover on and off 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 4-seater 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 on your paving in the meantime. The chairs on those sets rarely stack either, so once the frame starts going there's nowhere to tuck them away while you decide what to do next.
Considering a brand-name 4-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 compact 4-seater dining option, and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, without the excessive markup of big name brands.
| Care & Assembly | |
|---|---|
| Frame Care | The aluminium frame cannot rust, meaning you can leave it outside all year round. Wipe over with a damp cloth when needed. |
| Rattan Care | Synthetic rattan is made for outdoor use. Hose down occasionally to remove dust and pollen, then let it air dry. |
| Cushion Care | Remove covers and machine wash at 30°C. Air dry before replacing. Store cushions indoors when not in use. |
| Glass Care | 5mm tempered safety glass is wipe-clean. Use a soft cloth and glass cleaner for day-to-day marks. |
| Winter Care | No cover needed for the frame and rattan. If you use a cover, it's just to keep it cleaner from leaves and bird mess. |
| Assembly | All you need to do is assemble the table and place the glass top in position before first use. The armchairs are ready to use straight away. |
| Assembly Tools Needed | No tools required. |
