Best For Casual Summer Lounging:
Saint Tropez Off-White Corner Sofa & Oval Coffee Table Garden Set
The Saint Tropez Sofa Set is perfect for lazy afternoons in the sun. Whether you’re looking to spend your evening soaking up the sunshine with your favourite novel or welcoming guests over for a casual catchup, the Saint Tropez can lend itself to both tasks and many more! This stunning outdoor set consists of a 5-seater sofa and oval coffee table, all of which are crafted from a beautiful durable beige rattan material. The rust-resistant St Tropez set features cream-coloured foam and fibre-filled cushions allowing for the perfect comfortable seating experience outdoors. The garden sofa in the set is also modular, meaning it comes in multiple pieces and can be arranged in various ways to suit the layout of your outdoor space. An oval coffee table with a scratch-resistant and easy-to-clean tempered glass top completes the corner group. The Saint Tropez is one of a kind and a real investment piece for any large open area. Expert Ola says “This set is my go-to for both relaxation and entertaining. I love its modular design because it makes it super easy to rearrange depending on the vibe.”
Best For Small Outdoor Gatherings:
Seville Round Table
The Seville Round Rattan Garden Dining Table expertly facilitates small outdoor dining. Its round shape doesn’t consume much floor space, enhancing the piece’s flexibility when it comes to placement. If you’re looking for something that can lend itself to lots of different areas such as a small patio, balcony, or conservatory, you’ve found the perfect piece! The neutral garden table is made from long-lasting, beige-coloured rattan, meaning it will suit a variety of outdoor spaces and won’t take away from nature’s canvas. The tempered glass top provides an even, easy-to-clean surface for food and refreshments. In the centre of the table and glass, you’ll find a hole, suitable for a parasol and when the sun becomes too much to handle. The beauty of the Seville table is not only its durability and versatility but also the fact that it can be paired with matching round-back dining chairs. Of course, if you’re not into matching, you could always choose contrasting garden chairs to link your table with, and it would still result in an eye-catching garden set-up. Expert Ola says, “This table is so versatile. I just love how the neutral rattan just effortlessly fits into any space, and it’s so much fun to have the choice to mix and match with different chairs.”
Best For “Me Time”:
Fiji Egg Chair
If you’re someone who enjoys the pleasure of your own company, the Fiji Egg Chair is the perfect place to do it. The impressive lounge-style egg chair brings a stylish addition to any patio, terrace, balcony, or garden, with its light grey rattan material exuding charm and sophistication. The oblong-shaped plush cushion enhances comfort, making it ideal for hours of relaxation in the sun. As the weather cools, an egg chair doesn’t need to be covered or stored away, this multi-functional piece is perfect for indoor use too, offering great value for money. Fiji effortlessly transforms into a cosy makeshift reading nook in a living room or serves as a comfortable alternative to a reclining armchair in a conservatory. Ola says “I absolutely adore this egg chair. The light grey rattan is so chic, and the plush cushion makes it perfect for hours of lounging. Plus, it’s super versatile, I know lots of people who bring it inside when the weather turns and it instantly becomes a cosy reading nook.”

A must-have for summer is the Marbella Corner Dining Set. It offers both luxury and functionality for any outdoor space with its corner sofa, square dining table, and two rectangular stools. All pieces combined, this set can easily seat up to 10 people, making it perfect for large outdoor dining and entertaining on a patio or lawn. The set is made with high-quality materials such as weather-resistant rattan, durable aluminium, and soft, comfy foam cushions. The light beige and brown colour scheme are incredibly versatile and would add a touch of elegance to any outdoor setting. The Marbella set promises comfort and style for many summers to come.
How To Pick The Best Rattan Garden Furniture
When deciding on your garden furniture, it’s important to understand the difference in materials to ensure you make the right choice. For instance, the difference between synthetic and natural rattan is vast. All of EZ Living Furniture’s items listed above are made from synthetic rattan which is more durable for outdoor use. It resists the elements, even if left uncovered, although it’s always recommended to shield it from the elements when not in use. Natural rattan is best suited for covered areas because it doesn’t have the same weather-resistant qualities. For frames, lightweight aluminium is a great choice because it is rust-resistant and easy to move. Heavier steel frames offer great stability in comparison but are harder to move from one area to another. Key factors to consider when purchasing your garden furniture are UV resistance for long-lasting colour, high-quality cushion covers and fillings for comfort, and modular designs if flexibility is something you value most.
Tips For Caring For Rattan Garden Furniture
Caring for synthetic rattan garden furniture is easy as it’s one of the most low-maintenance materials on the market. By simply following a few key tips, you can enjoy your rattan garden furniture for many years to come.
You’ll need to regularly clean your rattan with a soft, microfibre cloth and warm, soapy water to prevent dirt build-up. To prolong its lifespan, consider using furniture covers and storing cushions indoors when not in use. In the colder, winter months, it’s best to cover your rattan garden furniture or store it in a dry, sheltered area to avoid wear and tear from frost and harsh conditions.
When it comes to quality, rattan garden furniture is built to last, with durable materials that are designed to handle the elements. Plus, all of EZ Living Furniture’s Garden sets come with warranties for added peace of mind. Delivery is straightforward, and with modular pieces, installation is a breeze, so no need to worry about fitting your items through doors.
