Rattan Garden Furniture The Secrets Behind The Greatness

By Joseph Schwartz


When you want to enhance the look and function of your yard it's always extra important to only choose the highest quality and best looking outdoor furniture. You need a material that gives you the beauty and the comfort you need while at the same time is durable. These are just the beginning in a long list of benefits rattan garden furniture offers today's consumers and therefore you can't afford to overlook it for your next garden or patio upgrade.

Rattan wood actually comes from a vine. Found in tropical countries, it is a very pliable material. When the top layer is taken off it can then be bent to fit virtually any furniture shape imaginable. Real rattan garden furniture made from genuine wood has its very own unique look and texture. In fact, once many homeowners decide on it, they end up a fan for life only purchasing furniture made from it.

The fact that this vine is naturally strong has a huge impact on the furnishings it used to make as well. It is light in weight yet tough as nails. This is an unlikely combo that consumers love as it means that even very big pieces of rattan furniture are easy to move.

Nowadays, one of the hottest trends in rattan is what is known as rattan effect garden furniture. While this is made to look like real wood, and it can, it is not. It is made from a plastic resin that is a little bit lighter and tougher than authentic wood. The type you pick just comes down to your preference.

Both the real and synthetic type come in a variety of colors so you can always find something that works with your space. Black rattan garden furniture is a modern and sleek choice while white gives a more vintage feel. Brown is another very common color and always naturally appealing, as is grey.

A big advantage this material has over many others is that manufacturers offer it in affordable sets. These can range from a handful of pieces to close to twenty. Large rattan garden furniture sets will have everything you could imagine many even daybeds and chaise lounges.

The versatility of rattan furniture allows it to be used almost anywhere. Those who like to stay close to the house often use it on the patio or deck, but porches too are a good spot. Since it is so light you can bring it pretty far away if you have shady spot you'd like to enjoy in the yard. And don't forget about placing them in outdoor structures as well.

Maintaining your rattan garden furniture is much less of a commitment than with other types of furniture if you could call it that at all. Although it's fast and easy, you should still make sure to do it because it will prolong the life of your furniture. All that is required is a basic cleaning once every week or two using some mild soapy water and a soft cloth. For a more thorough job you could use an old toothbrush to help you get in there.

When searching for your outdoor furniture be sure to take a good look at rattan. With features like these it will not only enhance your outdoor space but transform it!
