Why Wicker is the Best Outdoor Furniture Money Can Buy

Disclosure:  This is a guest post.

Wicker is a material that dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was constructed from local grasses and reeds. It was so expensive at the time that a middle class family would only be able to afford one or two pieces, like a table or chairs. Not both.

Today, Wicker uses some synthetic materials that help to cut costs, but the materials are actually more resilient than ever. Wicker baskets were considered durable and useful all throughout history. They carried goods to and from Pompeii. They were a part of Celtic Art, and made appearances all throughout Spain. Outdoor wicker furniture has historically been, and is still the best material money can buy for outdoor use.

Durability

Wicker was designed with movement in mind. Since the early days of its use, the material has been prized for durability under extreme heat or cold. In fact, rattan was so durable it was used as a ballast on ships before the Americans turned it into furniture.

Fashion

Sunroom furniture is all about style. The Egyptians knew it, and that still holds true today. Wicker furniture can fit just about any theme. Stained white, it looks almost rustic. With a tan or brown tint, it could easily fit into a tropical theme. Even light greens or blues would work well.

Final Thoughts

Wicker is a versatile and durable material at an affordable price. It’s constructed within an aluminum frame for added support, and tends to have a very long life span. If you want attractive furniture that lasts, consider upgrading to wicker.
