Rattan garden furniture will never go out of style - these are the best sets, sofas and more for a timeless outdoor space, from just £90
Summer is here, and with it comes the promise of evenings spent lounging in the garden. After all, what's better than a balmy night spent outside, enjoying a glass of rosé with your friends or your partner?
Of course, you'll need some garden furniture for that. Whether you're after an outdoor dining set or a comfy garden sofa, you're spoilt for choice thanks to the wide range of pieces available on the high street.
When it comes to shopping for timeless styles, there's one material that stands above all others: rattan. From 1970s sunrooms to 2020s Instagram gardens, the woven effect never goes out of fashion. It's also versatile enough to suit whatever garden aesthetic you're going for, be it Scandi minimalism (black rattan is a must) or rustic Provence (stick to the natural look).
But it's not just about appearances. Modern 'rattan' is often actually polyethylene woven to mimic the real thing, meaning it retains the natural look but resists rain, mildew and UV rays – perfect for those who can't be bothered to lug furniture indoors whenever the British weather turns. It's also usually wipeable, so there's no need to panic over a cheeky Aperol spill.
Below, we've rounded up the best affordable rattan garden furniture, perfect for a summer garden refresh. Now all you need to do is get the drinks in, grab the SPF, and prepare for months of lounging in the sunshine. Bliss.

Prince William's hilarious reaction to a taste of gin on rare joint appearance with the Duchess of Edinburgh
The Prince of Wales lived up to his reputation as 'One Pint Willy' when he recoiled while sampling local Cornish gin with the Duchess of Edinburgh at the Royal Cornwall Show today. The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Edinburgh arrived today in Wadebridge, Cornwall for a busy day of royal engagements in a rare joint engagement as patrons of the Royal Agricultural Association that organises the show. This year's edition marks the first time that William - who is known as the Duke of Cornwall when he is in the region - has attended the event and it appeared the day was off to a flying start as he tried gin at one of the stalls. It comes after Mike Tindall revealed he nicknamed William 'One Pint Willy' because 'he is not the best of drinkers' during a podcast appearance in 2023. Zara Tindall 's husband, the Ex-England rugby star, said: 'He is known to me as One Pint Willy because he is not the best of drinkers, coming from a sport where it is built on the social aspect and a couple of beers being sunk quite often. 'That is one I will give away for the Prince of Wales.' And it appeared Mike's observation was spot on as William's eyes widened after he took a sip of his gin drink at the Royal Cornwall Show after he and Sophie raised their cups at the show. William and Sophie appeared comfortable and relaxed in each other's presence, as the royals shared a good-natured laugh after they arrived at the agricultural show on Friday, June 6. The pair opted for smart casual ensembles, with the Duke of Cornwall picking a grey sport coat with a light blue shirt for his visit. He completed the look with a navy tie and matching accessories. Still sporting the beard that left royal fans swooning, William greeted well-wishers who had gathered outside the venue in Wadebridge in Cornwall. Meanwhile, Sophie was beaming as she waved at crowds, with the Duchess also wearing a greige checked blazer that she paired with a tan, calf-length skirt and a light pink shirt. She finished her outfit with burgundy boots and a forest green bag with tan accents, and accessorised with a diamond pendant necklace and timeless gold hoops. Sophie's makeup was fresh and dewy, as the mother-of-two wore a light layer of foundation, the faintest hint of blush, and a soft pink lipstick for the occasion. Upon their arrival, their Royal Highnesses were shown around the Royal Cornwall Food and Farming Pavillion as they inspected dozens of stalls stocked with artisanal food and drink from producers across the region. In addition to the gin tasting, William and Sophie also tried pints of Rattler cider at the agricultural show as the Prince was subjected to what may have been some playful teasing about his alcohol tolerance from Sophie. He was later seen holding up a hand, possibly to signal he needed a break from the spirits. During the show, William will also visit the Duchy of Cornwall hub, days after he revealed his fresh approach for the estate he inherited from his father upon King Charles' accession to the throne. In an interview with The Telegraph's Royal Editor Hannah Furness, who spent a day travelling alongside the Prince of Wales, 42, as he visited his tenants, the royal shared how he was modernising the land and property empire. This includes encouraging people involved with the Duchy to speak openly, with the Prince telling his staff to 'please give [everyone] proper authority to say what's really going on. Not being polite because I'm in the room,' ahead of a meeting in Dartmoor. Elsewhere, Matthew Morris, the rural director of the Duchy, revealed how employees 'no longer feel the need to put on a tie when the Duke of Cornwall is in town' - perhaps unlike when Charles - who is often smartly dressed in a full suit - visited. The publication also noted how William will communicate with staff via WhatsApp and ask questions over the social media platform in order to keep updated. But while the Prince is seemingly taking a more modern approach to the estate compared to his father, the pair do share a 'healthy impatience'. Ben Murphy, estate director, admitted that the royal has a 'healthy impatience, as his father did', while secretary Will Bax said the father-of-three is 'pretty ambitious' and 'pretty demanding', which he added, is 'great'. He added that the Prince - who is looking to improve the estate so it has even more of a positive social impact, while keeping its key community spirit - and his team are 'seeking to remove any ambiguity'. The aim for the Duchy's mission, which is to deliver a positive impact for people, places and the planet, to be more understood by the public comes after the property and land empire, as well as the King's estate, the Duchy of Lancaster were investigated by a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary: The King, The Prince & Their Secret Millions. In line with the Royal Cornwall Show's efforts to spotlight rural mental health, William will meet heads of local charities at the Duchy of Cornwall hub, which aligns closely with the Duke's passion for supporting the mental health of his farming tenants.
