icker furniture is among the most popular types of all garden and patio furniture. “Wicker” actually refers to the way that the chair, recliner, table, or whatever item it is is made–not the material used. The “wicker” is the weaving technique and styling used to create the effect that so many people love. Thus, wicker furniture can really be made from many different materials such as rattan, bamboo, cane, aluminum, synthetic plastic, and resin.

It used to be that the big criticism of resin wicker furniture was that it was cheap-looking. These days, that is no longer a valid criticism. Resins today are made that mimic the look of heavier, organic materials like bamboo and rattan so closely that only an expert would be able to notice that the resin furniture is not naturally organic. Yet, in addition to its being easier to clean and far less susceptible to harm from the elements, resin wicker patio and garden furniture is also less expensive than its wicker counterparts.
