Sapcote 6 Seater Rectangular Dining Set in Natural Rattan

Materials that justify the price

The weave is UV-stabilised rattan that will not fade, rot or go brittle, so the Natural colour stays consistent through strong sun as well as rain. We've seen customers come to us after two or three seasons with a competitor-type set where the weave has started cracking at stress points - UV stabilisation is the detail that prevents that. The table top is 5mm tempered safety glass, thicker than the 3-4mm you often see on lower-cost sets, and it handles temperature swings from a July barbecue to a January frost. If it ever breaks, it shatters into blunt pebbles rather than sharp shards - a detail that matters around families.

Delivery included, cushions included, 3-Year Guarantee included - at £1024, you're paying for materials that keep working long after the first summer. The customers who spend more upfront aren't the ones calling us three years later looking for a replacement. All you need to do is store the cushions away when you're not using them, and the rest of the set looks after itself.

Do you have a showroom where I can see the Sapcote range?

Our showroom is at Sapcote Garden Centre in Leicestershire, and you can see the Sapcote range in person before you decide. We've been here since 2001, and our helpful and knowledgeable staff are in 7 days a week if you want to sit on the furniture and ask questions.

Do the cushions stay outside in the rain?

Store them away when you're not using the set - indoors or in a storage box. Cushions last far longer when kept dry between uses, and you avoid the clammy feel of 'waterproof' cushion coatings that crack after a couple of summers in UV.

What's the difference between this and cheaper 6 seater rattan d

Frame material and glass thickness are the two main differences. Many lower-cost sets use steel frames, which rust from the inside out through joints and bolt holes. This set uses aluminium - it cannot rust. The table top is 5mm tempered safety glass rather than the 3-4mm common elsewhere, and you get a 3-Year Guarantee.

How much assembly is required?

Only the table. The chairs arrive fully assembled. The table base is four panels that screw together with two screws per side, then four screws attach the tabletop. All screws are included, and a screwdriver is the only tool you should need.

Can I leave the Sapcote 6 seater dining set outside all year?

The frame and rattan can stay outside all year round - no cover needed. Aluminium cannot rust, and the UV-stabilised rattan handles sun and rain without degrading. We advise storing the cushions away when you're not using them so they stay dry and comfortable.

Will the Natural rattan fade in the sun?

The weave is UV-stabilised, meaning it's treated during manufacturing to resist sunlight. It will not fade or go brittle the way untreated rattan does after a couple of strong summers. The Natural colour stays consistent.

Does the table have a parasol hole?

This set comes with a solid 5mm tempered safety glass top - no parasol hole. If shading a rectangular 6-seater is important for your setup, give our helpful and knowledgeable team a ring on 01455 274748 and we'll talk through the options.

How safe is the glass table top?

Tempered safety glass handles temperature swings and everyday knocks. At 5mm, it's sturdier than the 3-4mm glass on many lower-cost sets. If it ever breaks from a heavy impact, it shatters into small blunt pebbles rather than sharp shards - that's what 'tempered safety' means in practice.

Is this a good choice if I'm buying my first proper dining set?

If this is your first set of proper garden furniture, the main thing to know is the frame material. Aluminium cannot rust, while steel frames often corrode after a couple of wet winters. The UV-stabilised rattan won't fade or go brittle either, so you're not buying something that looks tired after one strong summer.

Delivery is included in the price, 3-7 working days to mainland UK. Your furniture is delivered on pallets via our courier, and we'll email you a timed delivery window so you're not waiting around all day.

Worth knowing: our courier delivers to the kerbside or driveway, they won't take items around the back of the house, and the pallet and boxes are left with you. If you'd prefer a white-glove delivery with set-up and rubbish taken away, get in touch and we can usually help.

We dispatch from our Leicestershire garden centre. "In stock" means we have it here, ready to send, not drop-shipped from a third-party warehouse.

Returns: if you're not happy, let us know within 7 days and you can return it within 30 days for a refund (minus return delivery costs). The furniture must be in its original condition and packaging, and we'll arrange the collection with you.
