With its unusual curved structure, this garden ‘pod’ from Vonhaus is a stylish seating option. It has a sturdy powder-coated steel frame, finished with PE rattan woven in an elegant chevron pattern. 

Like many of the best outdoor sofas, this model is simple to set up, as it comes with a seat pad and extra back cushions included. You won’t need to worry about buying extras separately. 

Either nestle this garden sofa among trees and shrubs to create a cosy reading nook or give it pride of place on your patio as an eye-catching statement piece.

Made.com stocks a beautiful selection of sleek, modern garden sofas like this one, which seats up to six people. While lots of other models are made from hard-wearing plastic, this corner set is crafted from natural eucalyptus wood. 

The design includes two useful tables at either end of the comfortable garden sofa – ideal for popping down your drinks, books or even a portable table lamp.

We love this light-toned set, but you can also buy the same sofa in black and grey if you want to create a darker scheme.
