The best garden furniture sets, compared.
Top pick: Withniture bronze bistro Best value: EVRE Madrid lounge – About £129.99 for four seats, about £32.50 a seat, 4.4 from 2,526 reviews. Lowest price per stated seat among the other listings with a numeric seat count and at least 100 reviews. Not a lab test. Updated October 2026.
A garden furniture set is a multi-piece outdoor group sold as one listing: a table and chairs, a sofa with a coffee table, an L-shaped corner, a daybed, or a sectional with a fire-pit table. In the UK you buy one for a patio, a balcony or a garden room. Footprint and job come first. A low coffee-table sofa is a lounge. Mark the patio and the narrowest door, and leave room for chairs to pull out. Name the frame: powder-coated steel, cast aluminium, mesh, or a polyethylene weave over metal. Natural wicker is a poor default in a wet British garden. Cushions need a dry place in winter even if a field says waterproof. Glass should sit in the frame, and holes should meet before the screws are tight. A printed load is the seller's figure. BS EN 581-2 tests use persons up to 110 kg and leave out weathering. A propane table needs clearance from anything that can burn. Measuring and weight claims are in the [garden furniture set buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/garden-furniture-set/sub/garden-furniture-set-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
How many people are you seating?
The Withniture bronze bistro on this URL is a cast-aluminium table and two chairs at £129.99, listed at 12 kg, with a table of 60.5 cm across and 66 cm high and a 5 cm umbrella hole. Stars are 4.6 from 19 reviews, a thin sample beside the folding set's 1,067. Reviewers call it sturdy and lighter than cast iron, and they describe assembly as slow rather than difficult. The printed ASIN field says B0G2XX47CR, so the carton line and the URL do not agree. One review says the seats are too small for someone 6 ft 5 in, and the chair is listed at 40 cm wide. No user-weight figure is printed. Choose it only if you can live with a small seat and you will confirm the ASIN on the box before you build.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a two-person metal bistro and you can live with a small chair.
Less suitable: You need a verified single ASIN, a wide seat, or a folding set.
Specifications
Common questions
Which ASIN is on the listing?
The product URL is B0DRJK662R. The ASIN line in the raw capture prints B0G2XX47CR. Both are recorded. The shop link uses the URL.
Does the table take a parasol?
The bullet says a 5 cm umbrella hole. The parasol is not included. No review in this file says the base will not fit.
What is the chair size?
The bullet prints chair depth 52 cm, width 40 cm, height 89 cm. One of eight reviews says that was too small for a person who is 6 ft 5 in.
The Grand patio folding bistro is a table and two chairs you open and fold away, with no assembly on the listing, at £99.98. Across 1,067 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.5, which is a large sample for a two-person set in this capture. Bullets say powder-coated steel, chairs up to 150 kg, and a table up to 90 kg, though those figures are seller claims and not a BS EN 581 result. The item-weight line prints 1 kg, and a 60 cm depth sits beside dimensions of 100 x 100 x 100 cm, so you should not treat either size as settled. Reviews in the shared colour pool report rust at the joints within days. There are no cushions in the box. It is the top pick here when you will wipe the joints and store the set, not when you want a cushioned sofa.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a two-person set you can fold and you do not want a flat-pack sofa.
Less suitable: You need thick cushions, a glass table, or a set that reviews do not associate with early rust.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this bistro need assembly?
The listing says no assembly is required. It is a folding X-frame table and two chairs with plastic locks.
Are cushions included?
Cushions are not in the bullets or the included-components line. Reviews that mention comfort often add a cushion themselves.
What weight does the listing state?
The bullets say the chairs support up to 150 kg and the table up to 90 kg. The item-weight attribute prints 1 kg, which conflicts with a three-piece steel set. Neither figure is a BS EN 581 report.
EVRE Marylin is a mountain-grey corner dining set at £599.99, with a glass table, a corner sofa, and three stools, listed at 83 kg in three boxes. Stars are 4.5 from 58 reviews. Bullets claim up to nine people and up to 400 kg for the set, and the seating standard's published basis is 110 kg, so the 400 kg line is not a British Standard result. The table is printed at 64 x 130 x 70 cm and the sofas at about 175 cm and 165.5 cm wide, which is why at least one buyer chose it for eating rather than lounging. Cushions are 8 cm on the seat and 12 cm on the back, showerproof, and the listing says to keep them indoors. A 600D cover is recommended and not included. Two people are named in the bullet, and unlabelled screws frustrate several reviews. Measure the corner before you treat the price as the quality pick.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a corner about 175 cm on the long sofa and you want to eat at the table.
Less suitable: A balcony, a one-person build, or anyone who will leave the cushions out all winter.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with a cover?
No. The bullet recommends a 600D breathable cover and says cushions must be kept indoors and dried if they get wet. Included components are the sofa, the glass table, and three stools.
Can the cushion covers be machine washed?
The listing asks and does not answer. Special features say removable washable cushion covers. Seat cushions are 8 cm and back cushions 12 cm in one bullet, and 8 to 10 cm in another.
How many people is it for?
The bullet says up to nine, with a corner sofa and three stools. It also says the set supports up to 400 kg. That figure is not tied to BS EN 581, whose seating tests are based on 110 kg.
TangXiaoQi's bronze set is a cast-aluminium table and two chairs at £109.99, printed at 12 kg, with a rose pattern and a 1.75 inch parasol hole. The star line is 4.5 from 42 reviews, and reviewers in the file call assembly easy and the set light to move. Chair capacity is 220 lb in the bullet, a pound figure rather than kilograms, and it is not a BS EN 581 result. The instructions attribute says instructions are not provided, while a bullet says the set is quick to assemble. One review cannot fit a parasol base because the legs sit close together, and a parasol is not in the box. You get a small decorative bistro if you will check that base yourself. You do not get a folding set or a stated kilogram load.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a small decorative metal set for a balcony and you will check the parasol base yourself.
Less suitable: You need folding storage, a stated kilogram load, or a sofa.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with cushions?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it. Included components are one table and two chairs only.
Will a parasol fit?
The bullet prints a 1.75 inch hole. A parasol is not included. One review says the legs are too close for a patio umbrella base.
Is assembly required?
Assembly required is Yes. The bullet says it is quick to assemble. The instructions attribute says instructions are not provided.
EVRE Madrid in cedar brown is a loveseat, two chairs, and a glass coffee table at £129.99, listed at 29.8 kg. The rating is 4.4 from 2,526 reviews, the largest count in this capture, which is why it is the best value four-seat lounge here at about £32.50 a seat. Some buyers finish the build in under an hour if they leave the screws loose until the frame is square. Misaligned holes, and glass that will not sit in the table, come up repeatedly in the saved reviews, and one review says cushion covers split after three uses. The material attribute says polyethylene and a waterproof field says True, while the bullet says shower-resistant covers. It suits a small lounge if two people can build it. It is the wrong row if you want dining height or a set with no flat pack.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a small lounge set around £130 and two people to build it.
Less suitable: You want no flat pack, dining height, or a cover in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a cover in the box?
Included components are the glass-topped coffee table, the loveseat with a seat cushion, and two chairs. A furniture cover is not listed. The listing asks the question and does not answer it.
Are the cushions machine washable?
The listing asks and does not answer. It does say the covers are removable and shower-resistant. The waterproof attribute prints True.
What frame is it?
The bullets say PE rattan on a powder-coated steel frame. The material attribute says polyethylene.
ATR lists a beige rocking bistro at £293.55, two PE chairs and a 50 cm glass table, item weight 28 kg, with 4.4 from 86 reviews. Bullets give chairs of 84 x 72 x 89 cm and a 5 mm glass top, and they print a 159 kg maximum weight recommendation, which is still a seller figure rather than a BS EN 581 result. Thick cushions and the rocking movement are the main praise. Several buyers finish the build if the screws stay loose at first, while others report screws that would not catch and a missing part that was later replaced. One of 31 reviews describes rust dripping onto Indian stone. The number-of-items line prints 1 for a three-piece bullet. It suits two rocking chairs if you will watch the feet, and it does not suit a four-seat meal or a fold-flat balcony.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want two rocking chairs and a small glass table, and you will watch the feet for rust.
Less suitable: You need four or more seats, a fold-flat set, or zero assembly.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it come with cushions?
The what-you-get bullet lists two rocking chairs and a tempered table. Special features include a removable cover, and the filling field prints foam. Reviews describe thick cushions. A separate cushion SKU is not listed.
What weight is recommended?
The maximum weight recommendation is 159 kg. BS EN 581-2 seating tests are based on 110 kg. The listing does not cite that standard.
Is the frame rust proof?
Special features include rust free, and the bullet says a powder-coated metal frame. One review says rust dripped onto stone. That is one report, not a test.
EVRE Bali is a grey rattan daybed with four corner seats, cushions, and a canopy, at £255.99, about 180 x 160 x 143 cm and 41.6 kg. The rating is 4.3 from 417 reviews. Bullets limit the whole bed to 120 kg, which is a seller figure for the bed, not a per-seat test, and the waterproof attribute is False even though the canopy is called showerproof. Some buyers assemble it alone in one to three hours, while many reviews call the build long and the supplied tools poor. Cushions slide apart unless you add something to hold them, which reviewers describe in their own words as tape or similar. It is a lounger for one or two people if you can spend an afternoon building it. It is not a dining table, and 120 kg is the whole-bed claim.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a lounger for one or two people and you can spend an afternoon building it.
Less suitable: You need a dining table, a 150 kg per-seat claim, or a set with no canopy build.
Specifications
Common questions
Can it be left outside?
The listing asks and does not give a yes or no. The canopy is called showerproof, the waterproof attribute is False, and the bullet says cover the furniture when it is not in use.
What weight does it allow?
The bullet says the maximum for the whole bed is up to 120 kg. That is not a per-person figure and it is not cited to BS EN 581.
Does it come with a cover?
Included components are the canopy, four corner seats, and cushions. A separate furniture cover is not listed.
This rattanstar colour is an L-shaped corner, ottoman, and glass coffee table at £199.99, model 26537, brown weave with grey cushions, listed at 28 kg and 176 x 126 x 71.1 cm. The star line is 4.3 from 73, and the saved review texts are the same pool as the black and the white-cushion colours, so this is not a separate test of grey cushions. Shared reviews praise the price and describe builds of about 45 minutes to two hours if screws stay loose at first, and they also describe misaligned holes and screws that snap. Cushions are called flat or sagging, and the bullet says to bring them in when wet even though a waterproof attribute says True. The material attribute is garbled while the bullets say PE rattan and aluminium. Pick this colour only for the grey cushions. Do not read the 73 reviews as evidence unique to this ASIN.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an L-shaped corner for about four people at £199.99 and you can bring the cushions indoors.
Less suitable: You need a dining-height table, a fold-flat set, or review evidence that is unique to this colour.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the cushions be removed?
The bullets say the seat cushions are removable. They also say to bring cushions indoors on rainy or snowy days. The waterproof attribute prints True.
What is the frame?
The bullets say rust-proof aluminium under PE rattan. The material attribute prints a garbled string that mentions tempered glass and rust-proof steel. Glass is the table top.
Are the reviews for this colour only?
The 42 review texts in this saved listing are the same texts as the other two rattanstar colours in the category. The star line is 4.3 from 73 on each.
This rattanstar colour is the same L-shaped corner at £199.99, model 26067, with black weave and grey cushions, 28 kg, and an attribute size of 176 x 126 x 71.1 cm. Stars are 4.3 from 73, and the review texts match the other two rattanstar ASINs in this category, so the black frame has not been reviewed on its own. Buyers in that shared pool talk about a corner for about four people and about assembly that works if you leave the screws loose, then tighten. The same texts mention holes that do not meet and cushions that feel flat. A waterproof field says True while the bullet tells you to bring the cushions in when they are wet. The material attribute is garbled against an aluminium bullet. Choose the black weave if that is the colour you want, and treat the review count as one shared file.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an L-shaped corner for about four people at £199.99 and you can bring the cushions indoors.
Less suitable: You need a dining-height table, a fold-flat set, or review evidence that is unique to this colour.

This rattanstar colour is the same L-shaped corner at £199.99, model 26066, brown weave with white cushions, 28 kg, and 176 x 126 x 71.1 cm on the attribute. The 4.3 rating from 73 reviews is the shared pool used by the grey-cushion listings, not a separate white-cushion trial. Shared comments still centre on price, on builds of roughly 45 minutes to two hours, and on holes and screws that fight you if you tighten too early. Cushions are described as flat, which matters more here if you bought the white set for the look of the pads. The bullet says to bring cushions indoors when wet. The material field is garbled, while the bullets say PE rattan over aluminium. Order this ASIN for the white cushions, and do not add the three colour counts together.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an L-shaped corner for about four people at £199.99 and you can bring the cushions indoors.
Less suitable: You need a dining-height table, a fold-flat set, or review evidence that is unique to this colour.

Grand patio's beige mesh set is a steel frame with mesh sling seats and a glass coffee table at £134.98, item weight 26 kg. Stars are 3.9 from 246 reviews, and of 42 texts in the saved listing the build is the main theme, often described as long or impossible alone. Bullets claim 150 kg a chair and 75 kg on the table, which are seller figures, not a BS EN 581 citation. They also call the glass tempered, while one review says the glass smashed and was not tempered. Depth prints 145 cm beside item dimensions of 113 x 77 x 75 cm. The mesh seat means you have no thick cushion to store once it is up. Buy it only if two people can spare the build and you will treat the glass claim as unproven in this file.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low conversation set without cushions and you have two people to build it.
Less suitable: You want a fast build, a proven tempered top, or dining height.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it include a table?
The title is a four-piece conversation set and the bullets describe a glass coffee table rated at 75 kg. The included-components line prints only instruction.
Is the glass tempered?
The bullet says tempered glass. One review says the top smashed and was not tempered. The saved listing contains no test report.
How hard is assembly?
Assembly is required. Across 42 reviews, misaligned holes, poor instructions, and the need for two people are repeated. A few buyers found the chairs easy.
Xmkmvk lists an eight-piece grey sectional with a 50,000 BTU propane table at £259.99, 34.2 kg, about 2.03 x 1.4 x 0.77 m. The amazon.co.uk line in this file is 1.0 from one review, and that review says scam and do not purchase without naming a failed part. Bullets describe PE rattan over powder-coated steel, cushions about 4 inches thick, and a lid so the pit can be a table when it is off. The saved listing does not state a clearance distance, a hose, a regulator, or a Gas Safe mark, and no user weight is printed. Scottish Fire and Rescue advice for outdoor heating is a separate rule of at least three feet from combustibles, which this listing does not cite. Treat it as a propane appliance with almost no UK review evidence in this capture, not as a scored furniture set you can judge from stars.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only if you accept a propane appliance with almost no UK reviews in this capture and you will follow fire-service clearance.
Less suitable: You want review evidence, a dining set, or a table with no flame.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the fire pit gas?
The bullets say a 50,000 BTU propane table with pulse ignition and a lid. They do not say that a cylinder, hose, or regulator is included, and they do not mention Gas Safe.
What do the reviews say?
The saved listing has one UK review. It is titled Scam and says do not purchase. It does not name a broken part. The star line is 1.0 from 1.
How big is it?
The attribute prints 2.03 x 1.4 x 0.77 metres and 34.2 kg. The listing also asks for dimensions and does not add a second size.
Shelf prices, star ratings and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines for the twelve garden furniture sets in this comparison, captured on 21 October 2026. There is no lab test of load, rust, glass or comfort. A seller kilogram or pound line stays a seller claim. None of these listings cites BS EN 581. The score has four blocks that sum to 100. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is the lowest shelf price per stated seat among the other listings that print a numeric seat count and have at least 100 reviews. The three rattanstar colours share one review file, so that count is one sample.
Amazon evidence
40%Up to 40. The star rating is scaled, then a review-count add is applied. The add is halved when the review text is shared with another listing in this set. The block is capped at 40. The star line is not a safety test.
Listing clarity
25%Up to 25. Points cover a printed open size, a kilogram load, how assembly is described, and whether colour, parts and material lines agree. A conflicting size, a missing instruction line, or a garbled material field scores lower.
Review pattern
20%Up to 20. Larger samples with a named limit score higher. A shared review block, repeated rust, repeated ill-fitting glass, or misaligned holes as a main complaint reduce the block. One rust review on its own does not.
Value
15%Up to 15. Price, stated seats, whether the set folds, and the review count set the block. The top pick is also the lowest shelf price here, so it does not take the best-value badge.
Decide the job and the footprint first. A lounge, a dining set, a daybed and a two-person bistro do not share a size. Then name the frame, plan where wet cushions will go, and read any load line as a seller figure. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk lines in this file on 21 October 2026, not a UK-wide index.
A garden furniture set is several outdoor pieces sold as one listing. On a UK patio, balcony or in a garden room the usual shapes are a table and chairs, a sofa with a coffee table, an L-shaped corner, a daybed of several seats, or a sectional with a fire-pit table. A coffee-table sofa is for sitting. Dining height is a separate job. A folding pair has a different footprint from a corner sized for a crowd. Start with the ground.
A corner, a daybed and a two-person bistro are different footprints. Mark the patio and the narrowest door before you order.
A waterproof attribute can sit beside a bullet that says bring the cushions in when wet. Give them a dry place over winter.
Lines of 150 kg, 159 kg, 220 lb or 400 kg are seller figures. BS EN 581-2 tests seating on persons up to 110 kg and leaves out weathering. No listing here cites that standard.
The first check is the ground. Mark the patio and the narrowest door the boxes must pass. BBC Gardeners' World uses about a metre clear of the table edge. A retail note uses 60 to 70 cm around chairs. If two size lines conflict, neither is settled. The job comes next. A bistro is for two. A low conversation set is for sitting. A daybed is for lying down. A dining-height table is a different product from a coffee table. A propane table is an appliance as well as furniture.
Cushions need a dry place. A waterproof field is not a winter test. Bring them in when wet. A cover that is only recommended is not in the box. Removable covers still need somewhere to dry. Glass is a separate check. Several bullets say tempered. Reviews on some listings describe smashed or ill-fitting tops, and this file has no test report. Holes that do not line up are a build problem, not a finish problem. Leave screws loose until the frame is square.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A folding or cast bistro fits a balcony. The nine-seat corner does not. The Grand patio folding bistro needs no assembly on the listing, at about £99.98, with 4.5 from 1,067 reviews. Reviews in the shared colour pool report rust at the joints, and the item weight prints 1 kg.
You want a dining-height table and a place for wet cushions. The EVRE Marylin dining corner prints sofas about 175 cm and 165.5 cm wide, at about £599.99, with 4.5 from 58 reviews. The 400 kg bullet is a seller figure. Measure the corner before you order.
A daybed is the job, and two people may be needed to build it. The EVRE Bali daybed has a canopy and a whole-bed figure of 120 kg, at about £255.99, with 4.3 from 417 reviews. The waterproof attribute is False.
The Grand patio folding bistro is the top pick. It has the highest score, 76, at about £99.98, with 4.5 from 1,067 amazon.co.uk reviews, no assembly, and a printed chair figure of 150 kg. Best value is the EVRE Madrid lounge at about £129.99 for four seats, about £32.50 a seat, with 4.4 from 2,526 reviews. The folding set is also the lowest shelf price, so it does not take the best-value badge. Neither mark is a laboratory result. No listing cites BS EN 581.
EVRE Madrid lounge
About £129.99 for four seats, about £32.50 a seat, 4.4 from 2,526 reviews. Lowest price per stated seat among the other listings with a numeric seat count and at least 100 reviews. Not a lab test.
