This wicker and rattan furniture line has been a stylish alternative in casual home furnishings since 1984. Wicker is a classic, natural material with centuries of history and it works well for the furniture buyer who wants a home reflecting the feel of casual elegance. Wicker furniture offers comfort, versatility and functionality. It mixes well with upholstered pieces, providing texture and nature to the home environment, patio, or sunroom.

Most wicker and rattan furniture originates from Southeast Asia and the materials are imported to the United States, where the furniture is assembled and finished by hand. The fabrics are from North & South Carolina mills, and all cushions, covering, and upholstery are crafted at the company's North Carolina facility.

Rattan is a vine from the tropical forests of the Far East, where it grows hundreds of feet in length, and is one of nature's strongest materials. Since it does not splinter or break, it is ideal for making furniture. Once molded, solid rattan retains its contours permanently. Peel is the outer skin of the rattan pole and traditionally is used to wrap the furniture joints. Wicker refers to products that are made from reed, cane, rush, willow or other woven natural materials. Wicker and Rattan are natural products with each piece having its own individual, unique qualities. When stained there will be slight differences in hue and color of the wicker furniture and this is part of the beauty of owning a product crafted from natural materials.
