Outdoor Wicker/Rattan can be used completely outside on a patio, deck, or near a pool.  It can also be used on screened and covered porches as well as indoors.  Outdoor wicker and rattan is made of vinyl or loom which provide maximum protection against the weather. Outdoor furniture is not made of real wood, wicker or rattan.  Frames are made of rustproof hand-welted aluminum finished with a baked-on overcoat.  Vinyl is made of high quality, UV resistant, extruded resins hand woven over an aluminum frame.  Loom, constructed from a specially treated wood-based composite, is woven over steel and loomed into sheets, attached to the frame and finished with a UV resistant outdoor finish.  Because these materials are all man-made, they are able to withstand the elements.  Cushions are made of 100% acrylic and are completely weatherproof.
