High end wicker furniture has quickly become one of the hottest trends in patio furniture design. It is easy to see why; this style is comfortable, elegant and long-lasting.
Avoid brands using PVC for their wicker as this material deteriorates quickly in sunlight. Instead, select those made with HDPE as it is stronger and more resistant.
High Quality Wicker
Wicker patio furniture is one of the most durable, comfortable, and versatile choices available to you when selecting furniture for your patio. Additionally, its easy maintenance makes it look beautiful in almost any outdoor decor style.
Looking for high quality wicker made of synthetic or natural materials should provide years of enjoyment, being weather and fade resistant with some treatments such as nano-coatings that repel water and dirt easily for easier upkeep. Furthermore, its frame should ideally be made of aluminum as this durable metal won’t bend or rust as easily than cheaper metal frames.
When purchasing wicker furniture, be wary of those made from plastic as this will break down and crack over time. Also avoid any that contain PVC as this is more prone to fading, scratching, and tearing than more durable resin alternatives that cost more but last much longer and are more eco-friendly.
Attentive craftsmanship is also essential when selecting wicker furniture for your home. While some manufacturers use lower-grade materials to keep costs down, the results won’t stand the test of time. Instead, look for pieces created by experienced artisans who know exactly how to produce top quality pieces that will become an investment piece in your home for many years. This way you’ll know you made a wise choice when investing in this durable investment.
When shopping for wicker furniture, be sure to read reviews and compare prices before making your selection. Some manufacturers may offer special promotions that can save you money when purchasing outdoor wicker patio sets. Once you find something you like online with free shipping – which could save even more money- ordering it directly can often provide better customer service as well. If unsure which wicker piece would suit your space the best then taking measurements may help determine which pieces fit.
Thick Aluminum Frames
A high-quality wicker furniture set should feature an inner frame made of metal such as aluminum, which will withstand all four seasons without becoming damaged by rain, snow or sand. Look for frames made with heavy gauge aluminum that have been welded together. Additionally, furniture should be raised a few inches off of the ground to keep out dirt or dust accumulation.
An inner frame for high end wicker furniture sets should be constructed from an alloy that has been powder coated to prevent corrosion, with dark colors chosen to hide any scratches or chips, and avoid metals painted in white as these will show wear quickly. An aluminum-magnesium alloy would be the best choice as it’s strong yet won’t rust.
High quality wicker furniture should feature outer strands crafted from an extremely durable synthetic resin material such as HDPE (high-density polyethylene). HDPE material features dyed threads throughout and UV treatment that keeps it looking new for years – more expensive than other forms of synthetic wicker but worth every extra cent spent!
Once again, look for tight weave wicker with natural variations in color and texture; looser and more uniform strands tend to deteriorate more quickly. Finally, furniture made by companies solely dedicated to crafting wicker is likely of higher quality; brands like Harmonia Living use thicker frames with HDPE resin wicker that has better lasting qualities.
No matter if it be an elegant wicker dining table or casual wicker sofa lounge set, finding furniture that fits will transform your outdoor space into home. A quality wicker set should be comfortable yet stylish; durable enough to withstand daily life from children and pets as well as any spills or stains; bring it inside for winter use as a precautionary measure and protect it with furniture covers when not in use – remembering to cover and bring inside for storage during harsher climate conditions!
Sturdy Weave
Wicker furniture makes an excellent addition to any patio, sunroom, or other indoor/outdoor space. With its warm natural vibe and versatile style options that pair beautifully with any decor style – be it more classic with white wicker or tropical with brown wicker – we have what you’re looking for.
One of the key considerations when shopping for a wicker set is its durability. A high-quality set should feature an aluminum frame covered in powder coat to prevent rusting and prolong its longevity; this structure is much more stable than metal or wood frames and won’t bend under stress; additionally, heavy weave wicker will remain sturdy over time.
Selecting a wicker set that utilizes high-grade materials is also of vital importance, especially considering their cost and environmental hazards. PVC or plastic may be cheaper but more vulnerable to UV light exposure and aging than HDPE weaves which boast higher tensile strengths as primary weave material compared with PVC or plastic sets.
When purchasing a wicker set, consider its ease of maintenance as part of your decision making process. A set that’s simple to clean will look more appealing in your space while making maintenance simpler overall. Dust your pieces frequently using a soft brush or cloth in order to avoid dust build-up that could leave it looking dirty or distasteful.

Comfortable Cushions
Wicker furniture looks exquisite when accessorized with comfortable cushions made from various fabrics. There are options that suit traditional tastes as well as those for modern settings; easy maintenance will keep the cushions looking their best longer and it is essential that they fit seamlessly with the furniture – too large of an ensemble can make sitting uncomfortable, while too few might cause back or neck strain.
Polyester fiberfill makes an excellent cushion choice for wicker furniture. Soft yet sturdy, polyester fiberfill resists fading while remaining comfortable to sit on for extended periods of time. To increase comfort even further, look for high-density foam seat cushions, designed to offer extra support while remaining snugly comfortable over extended time periods – they even help prevent sagging! These cushion choices make wicker sofas and chairs an excellent addition.
Sunbrella fabric, composed of solution-dyed acrylic yarns, makes an excellent material for cushioning on wicker furniture. It is highly resistant to fading and easy to maintain while being water repellent and mildew-resistant – an excellent combination with its wide array of colors and patterns to suit any home decor!
Outdura and Olefin fabrics are also great choices for cushions on wicker furniture. Like Sunbrella, these two fabrics offer high durability while being easy to care for and clean. In addition, these options feature water repellency and mildew resistance – not to mention coming in various colors and patterns!
Wicker furniture offers many advantages for indoor or outdoor use, making it the ideal solution. When using it outdoors, however, take special care to use protective covers during both winter and summer seasons, and remove cushions when not in use to avoid potential dirt or debris build-up on its surface. Otherwise, its integrity could be damaged.
