Rattan Garden Furniture Your Best Choice For An Outdoor Upgrade

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.

A new trend in this material is what's known as rattan effect furniture. This is a synthetic type that is a little tougher and lighter. Most are made to look very realistic, although it'a a matter of personal preference whether you'd like real wood or not.

Real and rattan effect are both available in a range of colors. Brown is very popular since it blends well with natural outdoor features and is the wood's real color. Black rattan garden furniture is often used in modern looking spaces and white goes perfectly in more vintage ones. Grey too, is a common choice and goes well with just about any color scheme.

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.

Rattan furniture's versatility means it works just about anywhere. Close to the house many people chose to place it on their patio or deck. Front and back porches are great spots too. And because it is so easy to carry using it further back in the garden or yard is common since they usually offer somewhere shady to relax with family and guests on a warm summer's day.

Taking care of rattan garden furniture is an easy task that you won't have to dread. While it's not hard it is something you should do whether you have the real or synthetic variety to make sure it lasts as long as possible. A very basic cleaning about once a week using soapy water and a soft cloth will get the job done. If you want to take it a step further, you could also use an old toothbrush to help get into all of its crevices.

When on the market for outdoor furniture, make sure rattan is at the top of your list. With advantages like these it is one material that will never disappoint!
