Wicker patio furniture offers a breathable quality that can't be found in other outdoor furniture materials. Wicker outdoor furniture comes in all types of pieces such as wicker tables, wicker patio chairs, and wicker sofas. They can be simple and solid or intricately detailed. Wicker patio furnishings can be finished in whitewashed or opaque white, or in different fabulous shades ranging from pale to dark brown. The test of quality can be determined by touching the piece of furniture. Quality wicker patio furniture will be smooth to the touch, with no shredding fibers, and it will have a lustrous look. Wicker patio furniture is offered in dining sets, including a resin wicker patio table and chairs, or wicker sunroom sets which such as wicker rockers, outdoor coffee tables and wicker loveseats.
Using wicker outside
Wicker patio furniture is best used in an area such as a covered patio or porch. Exposure to direct sunshine can cause wicker furniture to split or crack over time. A mild humidity is good for wicker furniture and helps it stay smooth and supple. Though finishes can be applied to keep wicker from mildewing, it's recommended that wicker furniture not be placed where it will experience moisture, dew, or rain.
Patio cushions for wicker furniture
Many wicker furniture pieces come with patio furniture cushions. There are an array of designs and fabrics that look great with wicker. Wicker outdoor chair cushions are manufactured to be weather-resistant to prevent mildew, staining and fading. Wicker patio furniture cushions can be an added protection for wicker due to the fact that they protect the wicker chair and back areas where there will be the potential for a lot of wear and use.
Maintenance and care
Besides keeping wicker furniture out of prolonged exposure to direct sun, you'll want to occasionally wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. This will assist in keeping the wicker fibers soft and supple. This process is especially imperative in areas where it is dry.
Wicker furniture looks classy and beautiful and is very practical. You'll love spending quality time with loved ones, friends, and neighbors in your beautiful wicker patio furniture.
