Rattan Furniture Set

Easy to put together- good instructions and useful tools. Feels good quality, is comfy and looks great! So happy I bought this over a more expensive set I was considering!

I love it, it looks fantastic. it has a heavy steel frame and is very sturdy, the sofas can be clipped together underneath to keep them sturdiness in the L position. I think it will last years. It’s very good value for money. The instructions are good and all the parts are lettered so you know which piece is which. The cushions and cover are not waterproof. The cover will only fit if you position the sofas (unclipped) each side of the table with the stools tucked in each end of the table as shown in the instruction book. it took me 5 hours to build on my own. The only problem I had was the hex bit kept getting jammed inside the head of the bolts when I’d tightened them, it took longer to extract the bit each time than it did to tighten the bolts, otherwise I’d give it 5 stars. Tip on each section, put the bolts in a couple of turns until they are all aligned into their holes then tighten them each a little, then go round and tighten them again until they are fully tight otherwise you will have difficulty getting the pieces to fit together.

Took a while to assemble. Instructions were pretty clear and they even give you a rachet hex key for the screws. It's a reasonable size and quite comfortable. The cushion material appears to be waterproof and it looks like the picture. The cover doesn't appear to be completely waterproof so I did purchase another one. Overall great for the price.

Having recently moved house we were in need of some decent outdoor furniture with a table for those few days in a year when the sun decides to bless us with its presence. For the price we paid £440 at the time I wasn’t exactly expecting top tier quality, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised once everything was bolted together, so yes well worth the money. We have comfortably seated 5 adults on the sofa itself and the footstools were free for another couple of people to sit down if needed. Everything feels sturdy and cushions are comfy with the back cushions nice and plump. With all of the pieces in the 2 boxes everything turned up well packaged and in perfect condition, however there were some missing washers, but a rummage around the toolbox soon rectified the issue. Assembly was easy and took me about 2 and a half hours on my own, including the unboxing and disposal of packaging so easily done between a couple of people, but absolutely doable on your own and a bit of music to keep you company.

We already have a set of garden furniture in our front garden which gets the sun late afternoon and evening. Since neighbours have recently cut down some trees, we now get sun in our rear garden morning and early afternoon, so decided to get a second set. The furniture arrived the next day in 2 large boxes. Obviously clearly marked as made in China and I was dreading having to wade through the usual difficult to understand Chinese instructions. I was pleasantly surprised as each part was clearly marked by letter and each stage of construction perfectly described. My wife and I had no difficulty putting it together. They even supply a ratchet driver to help, although for the amount of screwdriving involved, I would highly recommend using an electric screwdriver, as it makes life so much easier. The set seems solidly built and the cushions and cases good quality. Very pleased. The only fault I can find with it is that the seats are not as deep as our other set and the free cover is not up to much, but they are only minor niggles.

Ok, so to start with this item is about £400, whereas a really good ratan set of similar size is about £2000 from a garden centre so you're paying about 20%, and that includes international shipping from china, plus local delivery in the UK. Do not expect the same quality, they're obviously chalk and cheese in that regard. Understand that, expect some frustrations with quality, and I think you'll be happy (do not try to compare with the EU made £2k garden centre set!). So the seller was great, answered my pre-purchase question clearly and quickly, and delivered the set exactly as stated. The set did if course arrive with some damaged panels (significantly dinged during shipping) which necessitated some rework my end to straighten a foot pad, alongside a loose stud in one of the feet which needed some effort to rectify, bit of a pain but .... Set expectations as I say. Other than that the build was easy with actually very good instructions, no real complaints there but with one caveat, the foot studs are WAY too long so I strongly advise having a 13mm ring spanner handy (preferably ratchet). The supplied spanner isn't up to the job and using that alone would add a very long time to the build and result in very sore fingers , just go buy a cheap ring spanner, you'll thank me! Once complete it's looks great and is very comfortable. I would say it'll last a good couple of years but maybe longer, time and winter months will tell. All in all I'm happy, very cheap by comparison and 100% what I needed
