Outsunny 7-Piece Rattan Garden Dining Set With Glass Top Table (Charcoal Grey, 6 Seater)

What is included in the Outsunny 861-071V70CG garden dining set?

The set includes 7 pieces in total: 1 rectangular dining table, 6 armchairs and 6 seat cushions. An instruction manual is also included in the package. The table measures 150L x 80W x 74H cm and each chair measures 61L x 60W x 85H cm. Everything you need to set up a full outdoor dining area arrives in one delivery.

Is the rattan on this set real or synthetic?

The rattan used on this set is synthetic PE (polyethylene) rattan, not natural rattan. PE rattan is handwoven over the frame and is specifically designed for outdoor use. It has UV resistance built in, which means it is far less likely to fade, crack or deteriorate when left outside in sunlight and varying weather conditions compared to natural rattan.

How durable is the frame and will it rust outdoors?

The frame is made from galvanised steel with a powder-coated finish. Galvanising involves coating the steel in zinc to protect it from rust and corrosion. The additional powder-coat layer adds a further barrier against moisture and general wear. This makes the frame well suited to outdoor use in the UK climate where rain and humidity are common.

What is the weight capacity of the chairs and table?

Each chair in this set has a weight capacity of 180 kg, which is notably high for a garden dining chair. The table supports up to 80 kg. These are solid figures that make the set suitable for everyday use by a wide range of users without concern about structural integrity under normal dining conditions.

Is the glass tabletop safe and how do I clean it?

The tabletop uses 5 mm thick tempered (toughened) glass with an anti-UV explosion-proof film that is firmly bonded to the surface. Tempered glass is significantly stronger than standard glass and is designed to break into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards if it were ever to break. The glass is also heat-resistant up to 80°C. For cleaning, simply wipe with a damp cloth. The smooth glass surface does not trap dirt or staining easily.

Can the cushion covers be removed and washed?

Yes. Each seat cushion has a removable cover with a zip fastening. The covers are made from 180g/m² polyester fabric. Removing the covers for washing is straightforward thanks to the zip design. The cushion fill itself is 5 cm thick 24D cotton which provides firm and comfortable support during extended outdoor dining. The cushion size is 45L x 44W cm.

Does this set require assembly and how difficult is it?

Yes, assembly is required. The package comes in 3 boxes and an instruction manual is included to guide you through the process. The set consists of a table and 6 chairs so assembly involves attaching legs and connecting components rather than anything highly technical. Most buyers with basic DIY confidence should be able to complete the assembly without specialist tools. It is worth having a second person available to help with the table given the overall item weight of 59.3 kg.

Is this set suitable for use all year round in the UK?

The set is described as suitable for both indoor and outdoor use all year round. The UV-resistant PE rattan and galvanised powder-coated steel frame are both designed to handle outdoor conditions. That said, as with most garden furniture, covering the set or storing it indoors during prolonged periods of harsh winter weather will extend its lifespan. Care instructions state to wipe with a damp cloth, so avoid using abrasive cleaners on the rattan or glass surfaces.
