If you are a fan of wicker furniture, perhaps you are already familiar with the characteristics and benefits.
Let's do a quick recap.
Wicker furniture is available in a wide variety of designs and models.
You can find almost and kind of cane items - coffee tables, bar seats, dining tables, sofa sets, standalone chairs, arm chairs, and many others.
They usually come in its natural color (honey or dull yellow) but they may also come in different colors if the sets are dyed.
There are also all sorts of designs to choose from - contemporary and modern or simple and classic.
Many homeowners buy wicker furniture for its natural beauty, and for its durability.
Wicker furniture is well known for its toughness.
You may find it indoors or outdoors.
This is because the cane is tough enough to withstand the harsh environment in the outdoors.
Such home items is also very easy to maintain.
Unlike wood, the cane doesn't root, and plants don't grow on it.
And unlike steel, the cane doesn't rust.
Of course, if left alone, dust will eventually accumulate.
When that happens, simply pick up a wet cloth and clean off the dust.
If there are cushions on it, remove the cushions regularly for cleaning.
Use a brush with hard bristles to clean the furniture frame to ensure that contaminants are cleared from within the tiny gaps of the cane.
If cleaning is carried out on a periodic basis, wicker furniture can last and last.
In many ways, synthetic wicker furniture is similar to wicker furniture.
The process of manufacturing is the same, except that instead of using cane, plastic is used.
You must be familiar with the characteristics of plastic.

may appear slightly different when compared to authentic set pieces that are made from cane.
For instance, you may find plastic to have a glossier look.
And because plastic is a very versatile material, it can be used to make all sorts of attractive looking home items.
Let's say you already have other plastic furniture in your home like acrylic tables.
Now you want some chairs to go along with your existing set pieces.
For sure, items made from plastic would be an ideal candidate.
Almost immediately, the new items will enhance the look and feel of your home.
Unlike other types of plastic home pieces, synthetic wicker furniture may come with rare and attractive patterns that you can't find anywhere else.
The patterns depend on the weaving process.
