Outsunny Six-Piece Rattan Garden Sofa Set With Reclining Chairs (Grey)

What exactly is included in the Outsunny 861-052V72GY six-piece rattan garden set?

The set includes one loveseat (two-seater sofa), two reclining armchairs, two footstools and one two-tier dining table. Cushions are also included four seat cushions, four back cushions and two footstool cushions. An instruction manual is packed in as well. Everything arrives in three packages with a combined weight of 55 kg.

Is the rattan on this set natural or synthetic and does it matter for outdoor use?

The rattan used is PE (polyethylene) rattan, which is synthetic. This is the correct choice for outdoor furniture in the UK. Natural rattan absorbs moisture and deteriorates quickly when left outside. PE rattan is UV-stabilised and water-resistant, meaning it won't crack, fade or rot the way natural rattan would after a British winter. The aluminium frame underneath adds further protection against rust and corrosion.

How far back do the reclining chairs go and do the footstools lock into place?

The two armchairs recline between 90° and 120°. This gives you a range from fully upright for dining to a noticeably reclined position for relaxing in the sun. The footstools are separate pieces that sit in front of the chairs they don't mechanically lock but are designed to pair with the chairs for a comfortable lounging position. Each footstool measures 54W x 46D x 45H cm.

What are the full dimensions of each piece in the set?

Here are the exact dimensions for each piece: Loveseat 118W x 71D x 102H cm. Armchair 64W x 71D x 102H cm. Footstool 54W x 46D x 45H cm. Dining table 110L x 66W x 67H cm. The table's lower storage shelf measures 87L x 37W x 15H cm. The seat itself is 54W x 57D x 37H cm. The overall set dimensions are listed as 118 x 71 x 102 cm.

What is the weight capacity of the chairs and the table?

Each seat in the set has a weight capacity of 110 kg. The tempered glass tabletop supports up to 50 kg. The lower storage shelf on the table holds up to 10 kg. These are solid figures for a garden set in this category and should comfortably accommodate most adults without concern.

Are the cushions weatherproof and easy to clean?

The cushions are made from polyester and are padded for comfort. The covers are removable and washable, which is a practical feature for outdoor furniture that gets exposed to rain, sunscreen, food and general garden use. The frame and rattan can be wiped clean with a cloth. The cushions themselves are not described as fully waterproof so it's worth storing them indoors or under cover during heavy rain or when the set is not in use for extended periods.

Does this set require assembly and how difficult is it?

Yes, assembly is required. The set arrives in three packages. An instruction manual is included to guide you through the process. Given the set includes six separate pieces a loveseat, two chairs, two footstools and a table you should allow a reasonable amount of time for assembly. Having a second person to help with the larger pieces like the loveseat would make the process easier. No specialist tools are stated as required beyond what would typically be included or expected for flat-pack garden furniture.
