Wicker Furniture FAQs
We know a lot about wicker furniture – it’s literally our middle name – and we’re happy to share our knowledge and love of this versatile and luxurious furniture with our customers. We’ve included our expert answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about wicker furniture below, and our designers are always available to answer your questions in-store or online.
What is wicker furniture made of?
Wicker is a catch-all term for any woven furniture, and it can be made from a variety of materials. The most common materials used for indoor wicker furniture are rattan, willow and bamboo, while premium outdoor wicker furniture is typically made of a synthetic resin, called polyethylene.
Can I use wicker furniture outdoors?
Many types of wicker furniture are designed for outdoor use, especially those made from synthetic materials that are weather resistant, such as high-density polyethylene, and reticulated foam cushions with UV-treated fabrics.
Can I use wicker furniture indoors?
While wicker is often thought of as a material for outdoor furniture, indoor wicker furniture has made a big comeback in recent years. Largely because it blends seamlessly with many classic styles of décor and has a luxurious and authentic, vintage feel.
Is wicker furniture durable?
Wicker furniture is lightweight, yet strong, and it can last for many years. However, it’s important to keep in mind that natural wicker will deteriorate quicker when exposed to sunlight and weather, which is why it is recommended for indoor use. Premium outdoor wicker furniture is typically made of weather- and fade-resistant polyethylene, which is highly durable and long-lasting.
Is wicker furniture low maintenance?
Wicker requires very little maintenance. It doesn’t rust or oxidize, and you don’t have to paint or stain it. To keep your wicker furniture looking like new, simply keep it clean and protect it from extreme weather.
How do I clean wicker furniture?
You can keep your wicker furniture clean by dusting and vacuuming it, or using compressed air to blow out any dust or dirt that has accumulated in the weave. You can also use mild soap and a damp cloth to wipe down dirty areas, being careful to minimize the moisture on natural wicker.
