Cube Sets

Enhance your garden's charm with the stylish and practical Rattan Directs rattan cube dining sets. Designed to suit a variety of garden styles, these sets are perfect for hosting unforgettable summer barbecues with friends or enjoying cosy family lunches. With seating options for eight or ten people, there’s plenty of room for everyone to gather.

The brilliance of our cube sets lies in their clever design. Each set includes chairs and stools that seamlessly double as both comfortable seating and handy footstools, offering versatility for any occasion. Whether it’s a casual get-together or a special celebration, these sets adapt effortlessly to your needs.

One of the standout benefits of our rattan cube sets is their space-saving design. When not in use, the chairs and stools can be neatly tucked away into a compact cube, keeping your garden clutter-free. For added protection during the colder months, Laura James also offers a selection of furniture covers to ensure your set stays in pristine condition.

How does a cube dining set save space?

Cube sets feature chairs or footstools that tuck completely beneath the table when not in use, creating a neat cube silhouette. This reduces the footprint dramatically—a 4-seater cube measuring around 120cm x 120cm when packed away, compared to a traditional 4-seater requiring 200cm x 200cm. The space-saving design is ideal for small patios, balconies, or gardens where you want maximum flexibility.

Can the footstools be used as extra seats?

Absolutely. The footstools are sturdy, cushioned, and designed to double as additional seating. An 8-seater cube set typically includes four chairs and four footstools, providing extra seats for entertaining and increasing capacity to 8-10 guests. When not dining, footstools serve as comfortable foot rests or casual side seating.

What are the dimensions when the cube is packed away?

When fully packed, a 4-seater cube set measures approximately 120cm x 120cm x 75cm high, whilst a larger 8-10 seater rectangular cube set packs to around 200cm x 125cm x 75cm. The neat cube shape makes covering with a weatherproof furniture cover simple and secure. Always check individual product specifications as dimensions vary slightly between ranges.

Is the glass table top made from safety glass?

Yes, all cube dining sets feature tempered safety glass table tops that are several times stronger than standard glass. If broken, tempered glass shatters into small blunt pieces rather than dangerous shards, making it ideal for outdoor family use. The glass is weather-resistant, UV-stable, and easy to clean with standard glass cleaner.

Do cube sets have a parasol hole in the table?

Many cube dining sets include a standard 38mm parasol hole centrally located in the glass table top, with a grommet or bung to seal the hole when not in use. Some compact 4-seater cubes may not have a parasol hole due to size constraints. A 2.7m parasol suits most cube sets, providing ample shade without overwhelming the dining area.
