What is Poly Rattan?
People who want the appearance of rattan, but do not have the budget for full rattan may choose to go for poly rattan. This is a synthetic mix of plastic and rattan elements, and makes poly rattan better value compared to full value. This does not affect the quality, and most polyrattan is UV treated and weather resistant, ideal for the UK climate.
What is Flat Weave Rattan?
Flat rattan is as in the name; thin strips of rattan used to cover the furniture frame. This is generally better value than thicker weaves, and tends to be thin. This does tend to make the furniture lightweight, ideal for those who wish to move furniture pieces around.
What is Half Round Rattan?
Half round rattan gives more the appearance of full round rattan, and tend to be higher priced than flat weave. This thicker weave gives the furniture more weight, and helps to maintain that traditional rattan look which is so desirable.
