2 Seat Aluminium Reclining Rattan Bistro Set with Table

Two reclining chairs, one neat coffee table, and a better way to sit outside. This bistro set is for people who have had enough of rigid garden chairs that feel fine for twenty minutes and awkward after that. The side-handle reclining mechanism lets you change angle properly, so you can sit up for a drink, lean back with a book, or drift off for ten minutes.

The frame is aluminium, and aluminium cannot rust, meaning you can leave the frame and rattan outside all year round with no cover needed. That’s the big difference between this and steel-frame sets, where moisture gets into joints and bolt holes long before rust shows on the outside. The rattan is UV-stabilised HDPE (high-density polyethylene), not PVC. HDPE stands up to summer sun without going brittle after a couple of seasons.

You get 2 reclining chairs, 1 coffee table and beige cushions included. The seat cushions are 10cm thick, which matters more than most people realise — budget 6-8cm cushions usually flatten after 30-40 minutes, while these have a bit more substance for longer sitting. Seat height is 48cm, so getting in and out feels easy, and each chair reclines out to 119cm when fully back. The table measures 50cm x 50cm with a 5mm clear tempered safety glass top, which handles British temperature swings better than standard glass.

Cushion care is straightforward because the cushions aren’t waterproof by design. That’s deliberate: waterproof cushions feel clammy, trap heat, and the coating tends to crack after a couple of summers in UV. Store the cushions indoors or in a storage box when you’re not using them. If they need freshening up, the covers come off for a 30°C machine wash.

Delivery included. Cushions included. 3-year rust-free structural guarantee included. Minimal assembly too, with full instructions in the box and no tools needed, so you’re not losing a weekend to flat-pack nonsense. We specialise in reclining garden furniture because comfort matters more than perching, and this set proves the point.
