Rattan Garden Furniture Guide

If you are considering buying some garden furniture for the new season and have set your sights on a dining set you would be well advised to check out some of the latest wicker rattan garden furniture cube sets available on the market.

These contemporary rattan outdoor dining sets are created to stowaway into a cube shape when not in use to minimise space taken in your garden and to maximise functionality. The side effect of this concept can be a very pleasing cube design, even when in use, which adds a contemporary modernist feel to your outdoor experience.

Rattan cube garden furniture sets are often constructed from a synthetic or poly weave, formed to resemble rattan vine wicker furniture. Frames for outdoor furniture cube suites are usually aluminium. The result of this combination of materials is that you have an all weather rattan garden furniture cube dining set that is light and robust, is UV resistant, mould and mildew resistant and incredibly easy to keep clean and fresh looking and has been recycled making it good for the environment.

What are you likely to get in a Cube Rattan Furniture Dining Set ? Well you are likely to get two main options, either a four chair set or a six chair set. Both sets obviously come with a rattan dining table that in four seater sets tends to be square usually measuring 120 by 120cms but going up to 130 by 130cms . Six seater cube rattan garden furniture sets are usually accompanied by a rectangular table generally 2 metres long and 120-130cms wide. All rattan cube outdoor furniture dining tables are generally glass topped. More luxury cube garden furniture sets will also be generally accompanied by matching rattan cube footstools, making lounging after meals more pleasurable or giving the kids somewhere to sit.

What extras should you look out for? Some wicker weave cube furniture sets will not come with cushions however most cube garden furniture comes with stylish cushions for both chairs and footstools. Check that the rattan furniture cushion covers in any set you are considering are removable and washable, to improve the longevity of your set.

Are you likely to want a parasol to go with your rattan cube patio furniture set? Some sets may be sold with parasols but if a set your interested in doesn’t have a parasol check that it has a hole to allow a parasol to be fitted if you are likely to use one. If the set doesn’t have an opening for a parasol this could make using the set difficult on the best sunny days.

What colors are you into? Many rattan garden furniture sets tend to be available in either black or coffee brown shades. If you are looking for a bland or even pop art color scheme you are likely to be disappointed. However, keep in mind cushion covers come in many color schemes so a dash of color can easily be added to your set.

What about storage? After the summers long gone your wicker weave cube furniture should stowaway ergonomically but to reduce cleaning and to keep the set in tip top condition you should check whether the set you are considering purchasing comes with a rattan cube furniture cover or whether you will have to buy one separately. They are not expensive if bought separately but it is always nice to have the right cover for your set.

And finally….what do these sets cost? Well depending on size and extras you can expect to pay anywhere between £500 and £1200 for a cube rattan dining set. But despite the cost remember you are buying durable, stylish, luxury end furniture that will give you a lot of use over many years if you take advantage of the covers available.
