Considerations for Rattan Furniture

1. Synthetic Fibers: More durable, waterproof, weather-, brightly colored, and easy to clean (wipe with a damp cloth). Suitable for outdoor use, high humidity areas (like next to the bathroom), or with kids/pets. May not have the same natural texture feel as natural materials.

2. Weaving Density and Technique:

Density affects weight capacity,, and durability. High-weight capacity areas (like the seat of a chair) need to be tightly and solidly woven.

Check for evenness, firmness, and the knots are secure, with no loose or broken strands.

3. Frame Material:

The quality of the frame (usually wood, metal, or wicker) is also important Solid wood frames are more substantial and durable, while metal frames are more modern and lightweight. Check that the frame is structurally sound and joints are secure.

4. Comfort：

Just the right amount of softness and springiness, comfortable to the touch, and better breathability.

5. Maintenance:

Daily: Regular vacuuming (with a brush attachment) to remove dust and debris.

Cleaning: For natural fibers, avoid washing with water, and spot clean with a barely damp cloth with a neutral cleaner,otting immediately with a dry cloth. Synthetic fibers can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Protection: Avoid prolonged sun exposure to prevent fading and brittleness Keep away from heat sources. Natural fibers avoid damp environments. Consider using fabric protection spray (test in an inconspicuous area first).

Repairs: Small- wear can be attempted DIY, while extensive damage is best left to professional repairs.
