Merax Rattan Patio Furniture Set

With an open look, no resin wicker to fill the arms or a shelf under the coffee table, this set will have the choice of two colors for the cushions, Green or Brown. All pieces will have straight legs and a slight curve in the upper arms of the sitting pieces.
Coffee table will have a clear tempered glass top, a small skirt of resin wicker and a straight leg at teach corner. Coffee table is a little smaller than most at 28 inches long, 16.5 inches wide and 15.5 inches tall. No lower leg support for storing your magazines or snacks.
Sitting pieces will have the same small skirt of resin wicker connecting the legs, and resin wicker backs. Chairs will be 22 inches wide, 22.5 inches deep and 32 inches tall. Love seat will be 40.5 inches wide with the same other measurements. Cushions will be 2 inches thick for a seating height of 15.5 inches.
Cushions will be 17.5 inches square for the chairs and 35.2 inches wide for the love seat. Cushions will have a foam fill with a polyester cover. This is not the best material for outdoor cushions, I would store them when not needed to make them last more than a couple of years in the outdoor weather conditions.
Pros

- Great for any outdoor seating area
Cons
- No lower shelf for storage on the coffee table
- Polyester cushions will need storage solution to last more than a couple of years

Final thoughts on this resin wicker patio furniture
For those looking for some Cheap Wicker Conversation Sets for their patio area, One of these two sets will fork if you do not want to spend over $225 for your purchase. They do not have the best cushions or the biggest size, sometimes you get what you pay for. I like the size of these sets for the money, you can pay more to get a bigger set if you have a bigger bottom or want a little better cushions. One of these would be a perfect starter set for those looking for their first purchase of patio furniture.

Hey, great post. I really appreciate that you’ve included that the polyester fabric isn’t the best fabric for keeping outside, as I didn’t realise this. Handy tip! I’ll keep this in mind. We went without an outdoor setting for such a long time, but when we finally took the plunge and bought ourselves a new setting, it was similar to this. It wasn’t this cheap though. Well written post, thanks for sharing.
Kat,
All materials for outdoor cushions are not the same. This is one area that people have trouble with. They leave their cushions out all the time and they fade and go bad after a couple of years and they wonder why the maker does not replace them for free. Cheap does not have to be throwaway, these sets can be made to last many years with proper care.

Hi John,
I wouldn’t have even thought of the material of those cushions, because I thought all cushions sold with outdoor furniture would be suitable material. Which material would you recommend for outdoor cushions? Both the fill and the covering? I know there are some fabrics made for outdoor use, but I have no idea which material the fill of an outdoor cushion should be.
Kirsti,
Many of the cushions available today will not last long in outdoor conditions. I recommend Sunbrella or Olefin fabric for outdoor patio furniture. They will last longer, still will need a storage solution to last more than a few years. A polyester or composite fill that dos not absorb water is best for the fill material.
Storage out of the elements is the best solution for long lasting cushions no mater what the material.
John
