Wicker Patio Furniture

Wicker patio furniture is beautifully rustic and durable. It is a great compliment to your other outdoor pieces. It is comfortable and hints at simple, but elegant living. Imagine sitting in your chair with a cold drink watching the day go by.

Wicker patio furniture can either be made out of natural fibers or synthetic fibers. The natural fibers usually come from canes of rattan stalks, willow switches, reeds, bamboo, or rattan vines.1 The synthetic fibers many times will be made out of some kind of plastic.

Natural wicker patio furniture is the most beautiful and the most comfortable, but it does require more maintenance. Although in modern-day this natural matieral is specially treated for weather resistance, if is left out in weather for too long it can begin to deteriorate. Which is why it makes an excellent choice for porches and sunrooms.

Synthetic wicker patio furniture is the most durable and comes in many colors. If you want a certain color to match other décor around your house, there are many options available. It is woven together identically the same way, but because a different material is used, it looks and feels somewhat different.

There are entire wicker patio furniture collections. The combinations are endless. Chairs, rockers, or coffee tables—whatever you desire. Although the ample-size chairs are already comfortable by themselves, you can make it more plush by adding chair cushions, so you are guaranteed comfort for all ages.

Wicker patio furniture has been said to have had an influence on ancient art. The weaving of this natural matieral to create pieces was somewhat similar to ancient art and architecture. In the last 100 years, the Arts and Craft movement has had an effect on the popularity of wicker patio furniture.2
