Our pick: the VonHaus Bali Garden Sofa Set - 4 Seater Rattan Effect Set with Coffee Table — the best Garden Furniture we tested, from £219.99.
You don't need to spend £500+ on a corner sofa set to get usable, weatherproof garden furniture. Under £250 you can still find genuine PE rattan and durable resin pieces that survive a UK summer outdoors — the trade-off is a smaller footprint and fewer built-in extras like ice buckets or storage boxes than pricier corner sets.

FAQ
What do you give up buying garden furniture under £250?+
At this price you get compact bistro or 4-piece sets rather than large corner sofas, and cushions tend to be thinner and fade faster in direct sun. Build quality is still solid on PE rattan and resin pieces, but frames are lighter and less suited to daily heavy use.
Is it worth spending more than £250 on garden furniture?+
If you regularly entertain groups or want a dedicated corner sofa for lounging, spending closer to £700-£800 buys a larger set with a waterproof cover and extras like a built-in ice bucket. For a small patio or balcony, a sub-£250 bistro or compact rattan set covers most needs.
