Garden Living Upgrade
Rattan garden furniture looks brilliant - those corner sofas, matching dining sets, comfortable loungers. But they arrive in multiple heavy boxes with frames that need connecting and cushions to fit.
☀️ Heavy and awkward. Steel-framed rattan pieces are solid. Multiple sections, heavy glass tops, connectors that need to be tight. Worth having done right.

🔧 DIY Tips
Building it yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Socket set and spanners
- Allen keys
- Helper for glass tops
📐 Key steps
- Unpack everything first
- Connect frames before moving
- Tighten all connectors fully
- Glass tops last
- Position before loading cushions
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not fully tightening connectors
- Trying to move assembled sections alone
- Scratching glass during placement
💡 Pro trick: Assemble corner sofas in their final position - they're very heavy and awkward to move once together. Getting sections into the garden first is much easier than moving the completed sofa.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know

Care:
- Wipe down with soapy water
- Cushions inside over winter
- Cover if leaving out
- Check connections annually
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does rattan furniture need assembling?
Most arrives part-assembled but needs finishing - legs fitting, seat sections connecting, armrests attaching. Corner sofas come as 3-5 separate pieces that bolt together.
What rattan furniture do you assemble?
Corner sofas, dining sets, sun loungers, day beds, egg chairs, bistro sets - basically any rattan garden furniture that arrives needing assembly.
Is rattan furniture waterproof?
Synthetic PE rattan handles weather well. Cushions are water-resistant but benefit from covers or indoor storage over winter.
The glass table top worries me - can you handle it?
Glass tops are heavy but I handle them carefully with proper technique. Gets them in place safely so you don't have to wrestle them.
