Sapcote 6 Seater Round Dining Set in Grey Rattan

Will six people fit comfortably round it?

Yes, usually. Plan for roughly a 3 metre square area to seat the six chairs once they're pulled out from the table, plus room to walk behind each seat between courses. Mark the layout out with tape on your slabs first if your space is tight, that's usually enough to confirm the fit before you order.

With six people around a circular layout, everyone gets the same elbow room and there's no head-of-the-table dynamic, so the host isn't stuck carving while the far end has its own conversation. The talk holds together as one group rather than fracturing once the food arrives, which is the reason most customers choose round at this size over a longer rectangular table.

Will the grey rattan keep its colour outside year-round?

Yes. We use UV-stabilised synthetic rattan, treated against UV, so the colour doesn't go patchy or chalky through long summers the way untreated PVC rattan does after a couple of years. Our customers tell us the grey looks the same in year five as it did the day it arrived.

Is it really all-weather, no cover needed?

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. The hand-woven UV-stabilised rattan 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.

This means the set is fully weatherproof and doesn't need a cover or storage, so it saves you the hassle 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.

How does this compare to other 6-seater round sets at this price?

Cheaper 6-seater round 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.

Considering a brand-name 6-seater round set at £2,000 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, 5mm tempered glass. We design our own Sapcote range and sell it direct from our family-run Leicestershire showroom since 2001, without the excessive markup of big name brands.

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

Our showroom at Sapcote Garden Centre in Leicestershire has the Sapcote range on display, and you can sit on the furniture before you buy. Our helpful and knowledgeable staff can talk you through the differences that matter - frame material especially - so you know exactly what you are getting.

Do the cushions stay outside in the rain?

We advise storing cushions away when you are not using them. What we find is that cushions last years longer when kept dry between uses. The frame and rattan stay outside all year round with no cover needed - cushion storage is the one simple piece of care.

Will this 6 seater round dining set fit on my patio?

It depends on your space. A round 6-seater set needs room not just for the table, but for chairs to pull out and for people to walk behind. This is where most buyers get caught out, in our experience. If you are on a new-build patio or a tight decking area, measure your available space and allow clear room around the outside of the set.

Can I leave the Sapcote dining set outside all year round?

The aluminium frame cannot rust and the UV-stabilised rattan is made for sun exposure, so the frame and weave can stay outside all year round with no cover needed. We advise storing the cushions away when you are not using them - that is what keeps them fresh and comfortable for longer.

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

The frame material. The Sapcote uses an aluminium frame that cannot rust, where most cheaper sets use steel. We have seen customers replace steel sets after two or three seasons when rust starts showing at joints and bolt holes. Paying more upfront is usually about avoiding that replacement cycle.

Is the glass table top safe for family gardens?

The table uses 5mm tempered safety glass, which crumbles into small, blunt pieces if it ever breaks - rather than shattering into sharp shards. It also handles temperature swings better than standard glass, so it copes with frost, heat, and the changeable days in between.

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.

What's included with the Sapcote 6 Seater Round Dining Set?

You get 6 dining chairs, 1 round dining table with a 5mm tempered safety glass top, and cushions included. Delivery is included in the price, and the set comes with a 3-Year Guarantee - no surprise charges at checkout.

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.
