Explore the Signature Styles of Premium Outdoor Furniture

Our signature outdoor collections blend classic design principles with contemporary touches, creating pieces that feel both fresh and enduring. Each style category has its own distinct personality and charm, giving you plenty of options to express your outdoor aesthetic.

Modern Teak Line

There's something magical about teak that makes it a perennial favorite for outdoor spaces. Our modern teak collections feature clean, architectural lines paired with generous, sink-in-comfortable cushioning that practically begs you to relax.

What many homeowners love most about teak is its beautiful aging process. Rather than deteriorating, this remarkable wood develops character over time, transitioning from a warm honey tone to a sophisticated silvery-gray patina. This natural evolution adds depth and visual interest to the sleek, contemporary designs, creating outdoor furniture that actually looks better with age.

Coastal All-Weather Wicker

If you're dreaming of a breezy, resort-like feel for your patio, our all-weather wicker collections deliver that perfect coastal vibe. Modern basketweave patterns create an airy, spacious look while maintaining durability against the elements.

Today's all-weather wicker is nothing like the brittle porch furniture of yesteryear. Our pieces feature lightweight yet sturdy frames that make rearranging your outdoor space a breeze, while the woven elements add texture and visual interest. The combination of traditional material with updated, clean lines results in pieces that feel both familiar and fresh.

Garden Classics

For those who appreciate timeless charm, our garden-inspired collections offer a touch of heritage and permanence. Wood-seat garden benches evoke English countryside elegance, while cottage-inspired details create spaces that feel established and welcoming. These pieces work beautifully in gardens, on patios surrounded by lush greenery, or even on front porches where they greet guests with their familiar, comfortable presence.

Best-Selling Outdoor Furniture Sets

Based on our customer favorites, the most popular outdoor configurations include versatile sectionals that create natural conversation areas, comfortable lounge chairs paired with ottomans, and fire table groupings that extend your outdoor enjoyment well into cooler evenings.

Dining sets with smart umbrella options transform your patio into a functional outdoor eating space, while nesting tables and thoughtfully designed side tables add convenience and flexibility to your outdoor living area. These best-sellers have earned their popularity by beautifully balancing form and function.

Clearance Deals on Outdoor Furniture

We believe beautiful outdoor living shouldn't break the bank, which is why we regularly offer impressive savings opportunities. Current promotions include storewide savings of up to 25% on all outdoor furniture, with an extra 15% discount on already-reduced clearance items.

Since these deals feature limited stock availability, we often recommend our customers check the clearance section first, especially when furnishing larger spaces where the savings can really add up. It's a smart way to create your dream outdoor space while being mindful of your budget.

At Rattan Imports, we're passionate about helping you find the perfect outdoor pieces that reflect your personal style while standing up to whatever Mother Nature throws their way.

Built to Last: Materials, Construction & Sustainability

What truly sets premium outdoor furniture apart is what's beneath the surface—the materials, construction techniques, and sustainability practices that determine whether a piece will last for seasons or for decades.

Rattan Imports furniture is renowned for its durability, which stems from thoughtful material selection and quality construction. We've studied quality markers closely to ensure our collections meet exacting standards.

Premium Materials That Weather the Elements

When you invest in outdoor furniture, you're essentially challenging it to battle the elements year after year. That's why material selection matters so much.

Powder-coated aluminum frames offer the perfect combination of lightweight handling and surprising strength. This material laughs in the face of rust and corrosion, even if you live where salt air constantly tests your furniture's resilience. You can rearrange your outdoor layout without breaking a sweat, while still enjoying pieces that feel substantial and grounded.

Grade-A teak remains the gold standard for wooden outdoor furniture, and for good reason. Those rich natural oils aren't just for show—they create a natural shield against water damage, rot, and even those persistent insects that view most woods as an all-you-can-eat buffet. There's something magical about watching teak develop its silvery patina over time, telling the story of summers spent outdoors.

Today's all-weather wicker has evolved dramatically from its fragile ancestors. Modern synthetic versions maintain that classic texture we all love while incorporating UV stabilizers that prevent fading and brittleness.

Construction That Stands Up to Nature's Challenges

Great materials only reach their potential when paired with superior construction techniques. The difference between a piece that lasts three seasons versus thirty years often comes down to these hidden details.

Wooden furniture benefits enormously from traditional mortise and tenon joinery, creating connections far stronger than what screws or nails alone could achieve. For metal pieces, reinforced welds prevent weakness at connection points, while double-wrapped wicker around stress points prevents solveing when that unexpected summer storm hits.

Even the smallest details matter—like using marine-grade hardware that resists corrosion even in coastal environments, or selecting high-density foam cushions that maintain their shape despite temperature swings.

Sustainability Practices

At Rattan Imports, we're particularly proud of how sustainability has become central to our production. We source teak exclusively from responsibly managed forests with active replanting programs. Water-based finishes reduce harmful VOC emissions, while recyclable packaging materials minimize environmental impact.

Our sustainability journey involves carefully sourcing materials from sustainable suppliers throughout Southeast Asia, ensuring our environmental footprint remains minimal while supporting local artisan communities who have perfected these crafts over generations.

Designing Your Dream Patio: Customization, Services & Shopping Experience

Creating the perfect outdoor space involves more than just selecting beautiful furniture—it requires a holistic approach to design and a seamless shopping experience. Rattan Imports stands out not just for quality, but for the comprehensive services that accompany it.

From Showroom to Backyard: How the Process Works

When you start on your outdoor furniture journey with Rattan Imports, we make the process smooth and enjoyable. It begins with a personal connection—booking an appointment at one of our welcoming design centers or scheduling a convenient virtual consultation from the comfort of your home. During this initial conversation, our friendly designers listen to your dreams for your outdoor space, taking note of specific needs, space limitations, and budget considerations.

For more complex projects, we often recommend an in-home assessment. This allows our designers to take precise measurements and truly understand your outdoor environment's unique characteristics—whether it's intense afternoon sun exposure, strong coastal winds, or that perfect view you want to highlight.

Once we understand your vision, our designers bring it to life using sophisticated 3D planning tools. You'll see virtual representations of your space with different furniture arrangements, helping you visualize the final result before making any decisions.

The selection and customization phase is where many of our clients have the most fun. You'll explore our extensive libraries of fabrics, finishes, and furniture styles, with your designer guiding you toward combinations that reflect your personal style while ensuring durability for your specific climate.

Personalizing Outdoor Furniture Fabrics & Finishes

The magic of creating a truly personal outdoor space happens through customization. At Rattan Imports, we believe your patio should be as unique as you are.

With over 10 different color options available, your palette possibilities are nearly endless. From sophisticated blacks and crisp whites to vibrant corals and soothing seaglass tones, we offer shades that complement any design vision. Many of our clients in warmer climates like Key Biscayne gravitate toward breezy blues and aquatic tones, while our Atlanta customers often select rich taupes and warm browns that harmonize with Georgia's natural landscape.

Our designers excel at the art of pattern mixing—a skill that can transform good design into great design. They know exactly how to combine florals, paisleys, and geometric patterns in ways that create visual interest without overwhelming your space.

All of our outdoor fabrics are engineered for durability, but they also offer varying textures and appearances to suit different aesthetic preferences. Some have a luxurious velvet-like feel, while others feature a more casual, linen-inspired texture.

Value Check: Quality vs. Price & Current Promotions

When you're considering an investment in premium outdoor furniture, understanding what you're truly getting for your money becomes essential. Quality outdoor furniture sits firmly in the luxury market, but there's more to the story than just a price tag.

Price-to-Quality Ratio

I've had countless conversations with homeowners who initially experienced sticker shock when shopping for high-end outdoor pieces. What many come to realize, however, is that the long-term math often works in their favor:

Think about it this way—that beautiful teak dining set might cost three times more than a big-box store alternative, but it's likely to last five times longer. Premium outdoor furniture typically offers:

Extended lifespan that stretches 15-20+ years with basic care, compared to budget furniture that often needs replacement after just a few seasons. When you break down the cost per year of use, the premium option frequently becomes the more economical choice.

The craftsmanship difference is immediately apparent when you see these pieces up close. Hand-finished details, precision joinery, and thoughtful engineering create furniture that maintains both its beauty and structural integrity through years of outdoor living.

Current Promotions and Financing Options

At Rattan Imports, we understand that making your outdoor dreams a reality sometimes requires a little financial flexibility. That's why we're excited to offer several ways to make your purchase more accessible:

Our seasonal sales events can save you up to 25% on everything in our outdoor collections—perfect timing for refreshing your space before summer entertaining begins. If you're furnishing a larger area, our bundle savings program offers 20% off when your purchase totals $3,000 or more.

For the treasure hunters among us, our clearance section offers additional savings of 15% on already-reduced items. These pieces move quickly, so if something catches your eye, don't wait too long to decide!

Many of our customers appreciate our flexible financing options, with no-interest plans available for up to 24 months with equal payments. This makes creating your dream outdoor space possible without straining your monthly budget.

Customer Satisfaction and Warranties

The true test of value comes after the purchase, when you're living with your furniture through changing seasons and gatherings. This is where premium outdoor furniture truly shines:

Our customer satisfaction ratings consistently hover around 4.7 out of 5 stars, with particular praise for comfort that lasts and durability that stands up to real-world use. One recent customer mentioned how her sectional still looks "showroom fresh" after three years of Florida sun exposure—exactly the kind of performance we aim for.

Care, Maintenance & Climate Readiness

Even the finest outdoor furniture needs proper attention to truly stand the test of time. Knowing how to care for your Rattan Imports outdoor furniture throughout changing seasons and weather conditions will help protect your investment for many years to come.

Quick Maintenance Tips for Outdoor Furniture

Taking care of your beautiful outdoor pieces doesn't have to be complicated. Each material has its own simple care routine that will keep it looking its best.

For teak furniture, accept its natural journey or guide it along the way. Many of our customers actually prefer to let their teak develop that gorgeous silvery-gray patina that comes with age – it's part of teak's unique charm! If you'd rather maintain that warm honey color, a yearly application of teak oil will do the trick. Either way, a gentle cleaning with mild soap and water once a year is all it needs.

All-weather wicker pieces stay looking fresh with minimal effort. I always recommend a quick rinse with your garden hose every few weeks to wash away pollen and dust. Spills happen, especially during those summer gatherings, so simply clean them promptly with a mild soap solution. Before each season, take a moment to check for any loose strands and trim them before they can solve further.

For aluminum furniture, keeping it clean is wonderfully straightforward. A regular wash with mild soap removes dirt and salt deposits that can build up over time. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid soap residue, which can leave spots. If you notice any scratches in the powder coating, touching them up quickly will prevent corrosion from taking hold.

Cushion care might be the most important daily maintenance habit. Bringing cushions inside during extended rainy periods or when not in use will dramatically extend their life. For those inevitable spills, blot (don't rub!) with mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Long-Term Protection Across Harsh Climates

Your outdoor furniture faces different challenges depending on where you live, and a few climate-specific precautions can make all the difference.

In colder regions, where freeze-thaw cycles can stress materials, winter storage is ideal if you have the space. If not, invest in quality breathable furniture covers – they're worth every penny. I always suggest lifting furniture slightly off the ground during winter months and brushing off snow accumulations rather than letting them sit.

For those living in coastal environments, salt air presents a unique challenge. The salt spray that gives beach towns their distinctive scent can also be tough on furniture. A regular freshwater rinse helps remove corrosive salt deposits. Marine-grade hardware is worth the upgrade for replacements, and powder-coated aluminum tends to stand up to salt air better than other metal options.

Desert dwellers face intense sun and occasional dust storms. Providing shade protection extends the life of all outdoor furniture dramatically. UV protectants for wooden surfaces are particularly important in high-sun environments.

Our 30-day return policy gives you plenty of time to ensure your new pieces are perfect for your space. While custom orders naturally have more specific return guidelines, we always address delivery issues or manufacturing defects promptly, regardless of timeframe.

At Rattan Imports, we understand the diverse climates our customers experience, from the humid conditions in Florida to the seasonal changes in Maryland. That's why we provide region-specific care guidance custom to your location.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patio Pieces

What warranty is offered on outdoor furniture?

When you invest in beautiful outdoor furniture, you want to know it's protected. At Rattan Imports, we understand this completely, which is why premium outdoor pieces come with comprehensive warranty coverage that gives you real peace of mind.

Most quality outdoor furniture includes a tiered warranty structure that protects different components according to their typical wear patterns. Frames typically carry the longest coverage—usually 3-5 years—protecting against structural issues and manufacturing defects. The finishes that keep your furniture looking beautiful are generally covered for 1-3 years against color fading and surface problems.

Your cushions, which take the most direct use, typically include 1-year coverage for stitching integrity and foam resilience. Many fabric covers come with separate manufacturer warranties, like Sunbrella's respected 5-year limited warranty against fading and deterioration.

One small but important tip: always register your warranty promptly after your purchase and keep your receipt somewhere safe. This small step can save tremendous headaches if you ever need service down the road.

Can I customize fabric and frame colors on any collection?

Personalization is one of the joys of creating your perfect outdoor space, but customization options do vary between different furniture collections.

For most standard collections, you'll have a delightful range of choices—typically 10+ fabric options and 3-5 frame finishes to select from. This gives you plenty of room to create a space that feels uniquely yours. If you're in a hurry, our Quick Ship items can be at your door faster, though they come with fewer customization options in exchange for that speed.

For the ultimate in personalization, custom orders offer the widest selection of fabrics, finishes and configurations. Just keep in mind these special pieces typically require 8-12 weeks for delivery, as they're crafted specifically for you. And while our clearance items offer exceptional value, they're sold as-is without customization options.

When you work with our design team at Rattan Imports, we'll guide you through exactly which elements can be custom within your chosen collection. Some of our furniture lines offer surprisingly flexible options based on their construction methods, and we're always happy to explain what's possible.

How does delivery & assembly work for large sets?

Receiving your new outdoor furniture should be a joy, not a hassle. That's why premium outdoor furniture delivery is truly a white-glove experience from start to finish.

The process begins with careful scheduling—delivery teams will typically contact you 1-2 days before your delivery to confirm a convenient time window. When they arrive, these aren't just delivery people but trained professionals who will place each piece exactly where you want it in your outdoor space.

For more complex items like sectionals or dining sets, the team handles complete on-site assembly, ensuring everything fits together perfectly. They'll remove and recycle all packaging materials, leaving your space clean and ready to enjoy. Before they leave, you'll have the opportunity to inspect everything and ask any questions about your new furniture.

For particularly challenging situations—like rooftop decks, narrow stairways, or especially large orders—we might recommend a pre-delivery site assessment. This extra step helps us plan for any special equipment or additional team members needed to ensure a smooth delivery.
