If you’re looking to refresh your garden for the summer, there's no style quite as appealing or as worthy of investment as the best rattan garden furniture. Despite enduring various weather conditions and regular use, high-quality rattan furniture is designed to withstand the test of time. By opting for a sturdy set made from premium materials, you can be confident in the longevity and durability of your outdoor decor for years to come.
When it comes to garden furniture, there are countless options on the market, and whether you're more of a garden bean bag fanatic or perhaps one for a tasteful garden mirror, there's always room for improvement for your sun-lounging set up. For us, rattan garden furniture is one of the best ways to inject a bit more of a holiday feel into our sun-starved outdoor spaces; we're talking Tulum vibes, the sort of thing you'd find on a gorgeous balcony in Positano – you get the picture.
In terms of what type of rattan garden furniture to buy, your choices are split relatively easily. For larger households, you'll want to consider a rattan corner sofa or a large dining set. By comparison, couples and those with more modest garden spaces will likely prefer a two-person bistro set, sun lounger or hanging egg chair.

What is the best type of rattan furniture?
The best type of rattan furniture depends on personal preferences, style choices, and budget considerations. However, high-quality rattan furniture often features a sturdy aluminium or steel frame for durability and stability, with synthetic rattan weaving for weather resistance and ease of maintenance. We'd recommend looking for furniture with UV-resistant coatings to prevent fading from sun exposure and cushions made from quick-drying, water-resistant materials for added comfort and longevity.
How long does rattan furniture last?
While synthetic – or PE (polyethylene) rattan – can last up to 20 years, natural-style rattans tend to last a little bit less, around 10 years. You'll need to protect your furniture from harsh weather with either a cover or by bringing it inside for winter, so it's worth looking out for matching protective covers and/or stackable models for smaller properties.
How we chose the best rattan furniture
By scouring a selection of the best garden furniture stores for the latest arrivals, we've found rattan pieces that promise both quality and longevity for for summer 2024. We've sifted through customer reviews, analysed search trends, and regularly checked to see which products feature high-quality versus less durable materials. And with our team of fashion, interiors, and beauty experts, we've personally tested a range of rattan furniture in our own gardens over the years.
