Daily Mirror Flash Sale on Rattan Furniture Set

Saw this 72 hour deal in the Daily Mirror

Three-piece Rattan Furniture Set - £99, save £250

http://www.mirrorreaderoffers.co.uk/item-pp-3pcrattan/three-piece-rattan-furniture-set/

It seems like a good deal and now that we've finally got some sunshine (for how long?) I'm tempted to order.

I've had plastic garden chairs in the past and they get dirty so quickly. At least I could stack them in the shed. I'm just worried about whether they will get dirty and be difficult to clean. If I had a conservatory to keep the furniture in then I wouldn't be worried.

Would like to hear from people who have rattan garden furniture. The alternative is plastic again or metal.

    Blimey, that is cheap :eek: For that price, it's either going to be carp or else it won't matter if it gets boogered after one summer as it barely cost anything and can easily be replaced ;)

    Regarding getting dirty, we recently splashed out on a Gloster rattan outdoor dining set and so far we've had no issues, despite our 60-odd ft wisteria casting off dead blossoms and doing its worst, but it's early days. I know Gloster make a cleaning set (which we need to invest in!), but otherwise I guess a good hosing down with a jet washer or similar will have the desired effect.....

    I know one thing though, I won't be going back to cast aluminium garden furniture :D
