Rattan garden furniture set with cushions drops from £999 to £299 in huge deal

Shoppers are prepping for the warm weather ahead by taking advantage of a massive discount on a stylish and practical set of outdoor seating

According to weather forecasts, sunny days are gracing many areas across the UK in the coming weeks and with bank holiday looming, shoppers are looking for the best deals on garden furniture. Typically a high ticket item, a durable set of outdoor furniture can last a lifetime, so it’s well worth investing in a top quality option for those that spend a lot of time outside.

At Gardening Express, a chic rattan set has been reduced by a massive £700 – but the brand note consumers ‘must be quick’ if they want to take advantage of the offer. The Barcelona Grey Rattan Sofa Set – which includes a glass topped coffee table, stool and cushions – has dropped from £999 to £299.

Transforming a garden’s seating area, the Barcelona set is made from weather-resistant rattan – ideal for unpredictable weather the UK so often gets. Padded and luxurious cushions make relaxing alfresco even more comfortable and the option of a stool gives extra seating as well as a place to put feet up.

The glass top table can easily be wiped clean, should there be any spillages, and the sofa has ample space for at least three people. It serves as a convenient yet stylish way to entertain friends and family this summer and at less than £300 for the whole set, it’s one of the more affordable pieces of garden furniture on the market.

The Barcelona set from Gardening Express only comes in dark grey rattan, which may be disappointing for some shoppers. For a lighter rattan option, the Malta Rattan Garden Sofa Lounger Set is a little more expensive at £329, however, it’s a very elegant choice. Shoppers say it is ‘great value for money’ and the cushions are ‘nicely padded’.

Amazon is another contender when it comes to reasonably priced garden furniture. The Aweather 6 Seater Rattan Sofa Set is £319.99 and shoppers say it is ‘comfortable and stylish’. One person even called it ‘the most comfortable garden sofa I have had’. it comes with a glass topped coffee table and washable cushions.

When it comes to reviews for the Barcelona garden set, someone has left feedback that says ‘love it, didn’t even have to put it together’. There are no other reviews for this specific set, however, Gardening Express has been rated on Trust Pilot.

A customer said: “I have used Gardening Express twice and each time have been really pleased with the products. We have ordered plants that have been healthy and robust and thrive when planted out. We also ordered garden furniture which was very well priced and great quality. Everything has been well packaged and delivered quickly. I can’t find fault and am very impressed. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

Another shopper found the ‘website rather slow’ and a three star reviewer explained ‘trying to find my way around the website was frustrating’. Other people found it ‘easy to navigate’.

Someone else commented: “Just had delivery of garden furniture today. Excellent quality over the moon with it lovely 3 seater sofa and 2 high back seats all recliners. Lovely thick cushions with 2 stools. Delivery was great. Very reasonable price. Would highly recommend the furniture and service. Wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Gardening Express again.”
