Comparison: Best Square Rattan Table And Chairs (Updated | Nov 9th)

Look at the size of the table, the number of chairs, and the weight capacity to ensure it fits your space and guests. Check the frame material—powder‑coated steel or aluminum offers rust resistance, while a wood‑look surface adds a natural feel. Also verify features like an umbrella hole and adjustable legs for uneven ground, which many sets such as the Andehomy 5‑Piece and Kurapika 5‑Piece include.

MELLCOM’s chairs have the thickest cushions at 2.76 inches, using Oliphan cover and PP cotton for a plush feel, while ASJMR’s cushions are made of PP cotton with machine‑washable covers. The Andehomy set offers soft swivel cushions, and Kurapika’s chairs feature breathable waterproof cushions with a hidden zipper for easy cleaning. Generally, thicker cushions provide more support for long meals, but may require occasional cleaning.

Sets with powder‑coated steel frames, such as MELLCOM, Kurapika (both 5‑Piece and 10‑Piece), and Trumbeak, are highly resistant to rust and UV exposure. The Purple Leaf set uses an all‑aluminum frame with an e‑coating, offering excellent corrosion protection. Hand‑woven PE rattan across all listings adds weather‑proof flexibility, but the metal frame choice is the key durability factor.

An umbrella hole lets you add shade without moving the table; most sets include a 1.5‑inch hole, which fits standard market umbrellas. Larger holes, like the 1.57‑inch to 1.9‑inch adjustable opening on the Sophia & William 9‑Piece set, give more flexibility for bigger umbrellas. Ensure the hole is centered and matches your preferred umbrella size for optimal coverage.

All the listed sets provide detailed instructions and labeled parts, but the number of boxes varies. Smaller 5‑Piece sets (Andehomy, Kurapika, MELLCOM) typically assemble in under an hour with basic tools included. Larger 8‑ or 10‑Piece sets like ASJMR 10‑Piece or Kurapika 10‑Piece may take two hours and involve more screws, though they still come with everything needed.

For four people, the Andehomy 5‑Piece and MELLCOM 5‑Piece offer a balance of comfort, swivel chairs, and a sturdy table at a moderate price point. If you need to seat eight or more, the 9‑Piece sets from Sunshine Valley (B0DF7JHCN8) and Sophia & William give more chairs and a larger square table while still using durable rattan and glass tops, delivering better per‑seat value.

Tempered glass tops, found in Kurapika, Trumbeak, and Sophia & William sets, are easy to wipe clean and resist stains, but they can show fingerprints. Wood‑look surfaces, like the Andehomy table, provide a warm aesthetic and hide minor scratches, yet they may need occasional oiling or sealing. Choose glass for a sleek modern look and low upkeep, or wood‑look for a more natural vibe.

Swivel mechanisms and 360° rotation, as seen in MELLCOM and Andehomy chairs, allow guests to adjust posture easily. Curved backrests, ergonomic armrests, and high‑density foam cushions (45D in Purple Leaf, 2.76 inches in MELLCOM) support the spine and reduce fatigue. Additionally, the semi‑enclosed backrest design of Purple Leaf offers extra lumbar support for extended dining sessions.
