Frequently Asked Questions*

How do I choose the right size garden furniture set for my space?

Measure your available space and allow 60-90cm clearance around furniture for comfortable movement. A 2-seater set suits small patios (2-3 metres), 4-seater sets fit standard gardens (3-4 metres), 6-seater sets need medium spaces (4-5 metres), whilst 8-seater and 10+ seater sets require larger areas (5+ metres). Consider how many people you typically entertain and whether you need dining or lounge furniture.

Should I buy the largest set that fits my space?

Generally yes—buying the largest set your space comfortably accommodates gives you flexibility for entertaining and prevents your furniture looking lost in a large garden. However, leave adequate clearance (60-90cm) for movement and don't overcrowd the space. A 6-seater that fits comfortably is better than a cramped 8-seater. Consider how you'll use the space and whether you need room for other features like a BBQ or fire pit.

Round tables vs rectangular tables—which size works better?

Round tables (100-150cm diameter) typically seat 4-6 people and work well in square spaces or smaller patios, creating intimate conversation and easier access from all sides. Rectangular tables (150-300cm long) seat 4-10+ people, suit longer narrow spaces, and are better for larger gatherings. Round tables feel more sociable for small groups, whilst rectangular tables maximise seating capacity in larger gardens.

Are individual chairs and sofas more flexible than corner sofa sets?

Yes, sets with individual chairs and separate sofas offer more flexibility to rearrange your layout, move pieces around, or create different configurations as needed. Corner sofas are excellent when you have a permanent setup and don't need to move furniture—they maximise seating in a fixed space and create a cohesive look. If you like changing your garden layout seasonally or need to move furniture for events, individual pieces offer more versatility.

Which materials last longest in garden furniture sets?

Quality matters more than material type. Premium brands like Kettler, 4 Seasons Outdoor, and Grace Bay could last 10-15+ years regardless of whether they're synthetic rattan, aluminium, or teak—all are excellent when properly maintained. Synthetic rattan is low maintenance and weather-resistant, teak can outlast everything but needs annual oiling, and aluminium is rust-proof and lightweight. Cheaper sets in any material will have shorter lifespans than premium brands. Invest in quality and maintain it properly.

Can I buy an extendable dining set that changes size?

Yes, many dining sets feature extendable tables that adjust from 4-seater to 6-seater or 6-seater to 8-seater configurations. Extendable sets are ideal if you occasionally need extra seating for gatherings but want a more compact table for everyday use. Look for sets with butterfly extension mechanisms or removable leaf inserts for easy adjustment.

How many people can I seat around different table sizes?

As a guide for dining tables: 120-150cm tables seat 4 people comfortably, 150-180cm tables seat 6, 200-240cm tables seat 8, and 260-300cm tables seat 10 or more. Round tables of 120cm diameter seat 4, whilst 150cm rounds seat 6. For lounge sets, a 4-seater typically means a compact sofa or corner set, whilst 6-8 seater lounge sets are larger L-shaped or modular configurations.

How much space do I need for an 8-seater or 10+ seater set?

An 8-seater dining set typically requires a space of at least 5 x 4 metres (including clearance), with tables around 200-240cm long. A 10+ seater set needs 6 x 4 metres or larger, with tables extending to 260-300cm. For lounge sets, an 8-seater corner sofa needs similar space (4-5 metres per side) due to deeper seats and lower profiles designed for relaxation.

Do oval tables seat more people than rectangular tables?

Oval and rectangular tables of similar length seat roughly the same number of people. However, oval tables (150-240cm long) offer easier movement around the ends without sharp corners, making them feel more spacious in tighter areas. Rectangular tables often look more contemporary and can fit flush against walls or in corners when needed. Both shapes work well for 6-10 seater dining configurations.

Should I choose synthetic rattan or aluminium for a large set?

For large sets (6+ seaters), synthetic rattan with aluminium frames combines the best of both materials—the aluminium provides a lightweight, rust-proof structure whilst the rattan weave adds comfort, style, and weather resistance. Pure aluminium sets are easier to move and clean but can feel less comfortable for extended use. Synthetic rattan works well for both dining and lounge sets, offering traditional aesthetics with modern durability.

How long does delivery take for furniture sets?

Delivery times vary by product size and location. Most in-stock furniture sets deliver within 2-4 working days across the UK. Larger 8-10+ seater sets or made-to-order configurations may take 1-2 weeks. We deliver throughout the UK including Bracknell, Ascot, Wokingham, Windsor, Maidenhead, Reading, and surrounding Berkshire areas. Click-and-collect is available from our Berkshire showroom for faster collection.

Do larger sets require professional assembly?

Most furniture sets require some assembly regardless of size, typically taking 1-3 hours. Larger 8-10+ seater dining sets with extendable tables may take longer (2-4 hours) due to more components. Instructions are included, and most people can assemble sets with basic tools. We offer assembly services for local Berkshire customers—contact us for details and pricing.
