Water beads off the cushions instead of soaking in, the seat cushions are four inches thick, and straps hold everything down in wind. Skip it if you want a firm, structured seat.

How this review was made: written from my own video review of this product. Every opinion here is my own, from using it myself.
Quick Verdict
I poured water across the seat cushion and it ran right off. It doesn’t absorb it. Pin it up, shake it off, and you’re good. Four inches of cushion, straps on every piece, and I spend my afternoons sitting in it.
Buy if you:
- leave your patio furniture outside year-round and don’t want to drag cushions in every time it rains
- have a windy yard and need cushions that strap down instead of blowing across the lawn
- want to split the sectional apart and move a corner piece somewhere else
- work or read outside and want a seat you can sit in for a whole afternoon
Skip if you:
- don’t want to deal with assembly, it ships in 2 boxes and you’re building it yourself
- prefer a firm, structured seat, these are plump high-resilience sponge cushions
- want a wood or solid tabletop, the included table is glass-topped

Water Hit the Cushion and Ran Off
I poured water straight across the seat cushion and watched it sheet off in about two seconds, no blotting, no wringing, no dragging anything inside. If you’ve ever hauled soaked cushions into a garage after a surprise storm, you know why that’s the only spec that actually matters. This is the Rattaner 3 Pieces Patio Furniture Set Outdoor Sectional in light grey, and it’s weatherproof in the way that lets you stop thinking about the weather.
The Straps Hold Everything Down in Wind
Every cushion straps down. The seat cushions came with straps in the box that you attach to the furniture, and the back cushions have their own straps that connect to each other and then to the frame. So if it’s windy, they’re not gonna blow away because it’s going to strap it. That guarantees it.
The listing also adds anti-slip dotted plastic fabric on the bottom of the seat cushions, which is the part doing the work when you’re sliding around on them. Between that and the straps, nothing shifts. Compare that to velcro patio furniture cushions that let go after one season in the sun.
Four Inches Thick, and I Sit in It All Afternoon
Four inches of high-resilience sponge is the difference between perching and actually sinking in, and unlike a generic “plush” claim on a spec sheet, four inches is something you feel the moment you sit down.
I spend my afternoons in here. If I’m working, I just come in here and I sit. That’s the test for outdoor patio furniture: not whether it looks good in a photo, but whether you choose it over the couch inside. I do. The back cushions are plump, the seat has enough depth that you sink slightly instead of perching, and the frame underneath is powder-coated steel wrapped in wicker so it doesn’t flex when you drop into it.
Sitting for a full afternoon is also where I’d flag the trade-off. These are soft cushions. High-resilience sponge means they give. If you want something firm and upright for posture, this isn’t it, and that’s not a flaw so much as a preference you should know going in.

You Have to Build It
It arrives in 2 boxes and you assemble it. The hardware and instructions are in there, and there’s a demo video, but this isn’t a set that shows up ready to sit on. Plan an afternoon and a second pair of hands for the sectional pieces. The glass tabletop is the other thing I’d mention: it wipes clean fast, which I like, but glass is glass and a toddler or a dog tail is going to find it eventually.
You Can Split It and Move the Pieces
Nothing locks into one layout. The sectional pieces separate completely, pull the corner off the main couch, move it to the other side of the door, done. That’s useful on a narrow balcony where an L-shape won’t fit, or any time you want a second seat somewhere the set wasn’t originally pointing.
That’s how a 3-piece works harder than its piece count. Couch plus ottoman plus the table means one configuration for a quiet afternoon and a different one when people come over. The ottoman alone changes the whole thing: footrest one day, extra seat the next.
Who Should Buy This Patio Furniture Set
Buy it if your patio gets weather and you’re tired of managing around it. The water-repellent 250G polyester and the included waterproof covers are what let you leave it out there, and the straps handle the wind part. It’s currently sitting around #8,911 in Patio, Lawn & Garden against a 90-day average near #15,768, so more people are finding it than were a few months ago, and over 400 sold in the past month. Price has been steady for about three months, so there’s no obvious reason to sit and wait for a dip.
Skip it if you want something firm, something that arrives assembled, or a solid-top table instead of glass. If your patio is tiny, measure first, this is a sectional and it takes the space a sectional takes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need separate patio furniture covers?
No, waterproof covers are included with the set. The fabric is water-repellent on its own for rain and dust, and the covers are there for longer stretches when you’re not using it, like off-season storage on the patio.
How do I clean the cushions and the table?
Wipe both. The glass tabletop cleans with any glass cleaner in seconds, and the cushion covers shed liquid rather than absorbing it, so spills come off with a cloth or a shake. The polyester is color-retention fabric, so it’s built for sun exposure rather than frequent washing.
Will the wicker fade or crack in direct sun?
It’s dense all-weather wicker over a powder-coated steel frame, which is the construction made for permanent outdoor placement. The fabric is anti-UV rated. I’d still move it under cover during long unused stretches, because sun is the thing that ages outdoor furniture fastest.
Does it work on a deck or balcony, not just a patio?
Yes, and the split design is why. Since the middle pieces separate, you can run the sectional along a narrow balcony wall instead of forcing an L-shape. Measure your width first, then decide whether the ottoman goes inside the layout or off to the side.
