Your choice of garden furniture set can potentially make or break how stylish and inviting your outdoor space looks to visitors and to nosey neighbours peaking over the fence or glancing out of their upper floor windows.
An instant glow-up to your garden could be the Neo 4 Piece Wicker Bamboo Style Garden Sofa, Table and Chairs Set, that comes in natural, black and grey and has now been reduced by 41% from £269.98 to £157.99 via the Debenhams website.
According to the manufacturers the set boasts a handwoven rattan-effect bamboo style frame complemented by cushions that are both removable and washable for easy maintenance in a co-ordinating shade to match your chosen furniture colour.

Designed for versatility, the garden set is perfect inside or out, looking super stylish in your garden or on your balcony or in your conservatory. The collection features a table topped with glass, two-seater sofa and two chairs and is crafted from weatherproof PE rattan, with detailed piping along the cover's edges 'for a finish that stands out'. If you've got a smaller outdoor space and need a smaller set, this three-piece bistro set from Amazon is a good option and has 16% off currently.
One pleased customer shared their thoughts, saying: 'It was a bargain compared to other sets and looks way more expensive than it was. It's quite light weight which is handy as it can be moved to wherever the sun is on our patio. Overall I would recommend and think it looks great in the garden for summer'. However, the review goes on to suggest using your own allen key as the one provided 'loses its shape and is no good'.
Another useful feedback tip from a customer about installation says, 'Easy to put together. The key to installation is to put all the screws in loose then tighten'. This review goes on to say, 'Really like these we wanted the Habitat version but this was a lot more expensive. We already have the dining table and chairs for habitat and this matches it great'.
If you did fancy Habitat garden furniture, the retailer offers this Habitat Ipanema 4 Seater Rattan Effect Garden Sofa Set in a zesty lemon to bring a pop of colour to your outdoor space or garden room priced £220 and available from Argos and described by one customer as 'gorgeous little garden set'.
Back to the Neo bargain buy from Debenhams and one customer commented, 'I'm so impressed with this set for the price and how quick it was to assemble! Has really helped transform my little patio area' and a further comment from a different buyer is equally glowing, saying 'Gorgeous and fantastic buy - two seater couch and two chairs put together with an allen key - I made it by myself and it was worth the effort, no problems with it . Got it on sale so great price too'.
A few more negative comments related to the thickness of the seat cushions, with one irritated buyer saying, 'Cushions are way too thin, you can feel the wicker on your bum', so for some buyers who might think the same, researching thicker seat pads or adding more cushions could be a solution.
Another alternative to Debenham's Neo 4 Piece Wicker Bamboo Style Garden Sofa, Table and Chairs Set is Dunelm's Chedworth Curved 2 Seater Bistro Set now with 20%, currently down from £399 to £319.20 which one customer describes as 'very comfortable to sit and relax in'.
