Wicker has been a useful material for furniture making throughout history. The ancient Egyptians used plant fibers to produce woven wicker furniture and storage vessels. In other cultures, wicker has been the material of choice for durable, resilient outdoor patio furniture because of its durability against winds and rains. Today, wicker remains an incredibly popular choice for both home and patio furniture, and below are just a few ways that you can benefit from this beautiful outdoor furniture too.
