Why this armchair earns its place
These are rattan-look chairs built for venues where diners linger. The high back gives proper support and a distinctive silhouette—the kind you see in pavement cafés across France and Italy, now available in a charcoal finish that reads contemporary rather than dated. Four stools per pack means you can furnish a café corner without multiple orders, and they stack neatly when you need the space.
The construction is practical. PE wicker—faux rattan—wraps an aluminium frame that keeps weight down (5 kg each) while staying robust. The wicker is shower-resistant, meaning it tolerates outdoor weather without disintegrating. You're not protecting them in a shed every night, but they're built to survive regular UK rain and the damp of an open-sided bistro. The charcoal shade avoids the plastic look of bright synthetic rattan; it sits somewhere between natural and modern.
Fully assembled on arrival, they arrive ready to use. Cleaning is a quick wipe or even a hose-down—synthetic wicker doesn't absorb water like natural rattan would. The stackable design matters for venues that reset between services or seasons: four chairs stack to a manageable footprint. At 853 mm wide with 602 mm depth, they take real table space, but that's the trade for the comfort of a proper seat with arms and support.
