Wicker furniture for cottages

The natural texture of wicker furniture makes it attractive in many respects, and, at the same time, limits the scope of application in urban interiors. But for dacha design, wicker sets and objects are classics of the genre. They will be relevant in the interior of the cottage, on the veranda and in the garden.

The range of wicker garden and garden furniture is quite wide. Products differ in appearance and price, they are also classified according to the place of production, material, construction ...

Raw materials from which make wicker furniture for the dacha:

1. Willow is a familiar material for the northern hemisphere, from which traditional furniture is made for folk crafts (including Russian and Ukrainian). Willow furniture is not very strong, but it is sometimes reinforced with a frame.
2. Rattan - liana-like shoots of rattan, a strong and flexible material, which, among other things, is resistant to high humidity and temperature changes.
3. Reeds - from ordinary lake reeds also weave durable furniture. The main advantage of this material is elasticity, most often chairs and armchairs make it, as well as baskets.

In addition, when choosing wicker country furniture it is worth paying attention to the place of production:

1. In Asia, produce a relatively inexpensive rattan wicker furniture, which is suitable for garden and street. Practicality and a democratic price make Asian "braids" very popular. And by the way, craftsmen from China and nearby territories have learned to perfectly simulate a stylish European design.
2. In Europe, various materials are used to make wicker furniture, sometimes resort to hybrid designs: elements from a vine or rattan combine with bamboo, natural stone, glass, metal, and less often use plastic. European wicker furniture is quite expensive - among other things, it is due to the thoughtful and original design of the products.
3. Also worth paying attention to products of local production, including - what the people's craftsmen offer. They, among other things, you can make wicker furniture to order.

In general, wicker furniture can not be classified as cheap: it is usually collected manually. But choosing a quality product, you can be sure that it will serve you more than one year.
