Synthetic rattan furniture comes up as alternative choice for natural rattan furniture. It means that no doubt natural rattan is very attractive and unique furniture. However; the characteristic is not as wide as synthetic rattan furniture. Here is the fact about synthetic rattan compared to natural rattan furniture :

Durability. Natural rattan furniture is exceptionally strong and durable, of course, if it is protected from the outdoor elements and if it is made according to the highest quality workmanship standards. Quality synthetic rattan is extremely durable as well but there is one major difference. In contrary to natural rattan furniture, our all-weather rattan collection can be left outdoors all year round without the need to worry about the harsh outdoor conditions affecting its beauty or durability.

Comfort. There is no difference between natural and synthetic rattan when it comes to comfort. Instead, the level of comfort your rattan garden furniture will provide you with depends on the design and quality of weaving as well as some other factors such as the size of the furniture because even the cosiest piece of furniture will feel uncomfortable if it is too large for instance. Also, the key pieces of furniture such as rattan garden chairs are typically used with chair cushions which increase both the comfort and the overall aesthetic appeal of the furniture.

Maintenance. Undeniable that synthetic rattan furniture is very easy maintenance than natural rattan furniture. Just need to rub it with wet cloth if dirty only. Natural rattan furniture is more complicated in maintenance. The problem’s that may appear is fungi and dust if it doesn’t to be cleaned properly. The fungi may appear when moist weather.

Design. Both furnitures can be made to be attractive designs and can be combined with other material such as wood for example. Natural rattan furniture is with wood frame inside and synthetic rattan furniture is made with aluminum frame inside. It can be concluded that synthetic rattan furniture is stronger than natural rattan furniture.

Eco-friendliness. Although synthetic materials have a bad reputation among environmentally conscious home owners, products which are made from all natural materials can cause serious damage to the environment as well. And natural rattan furniture is no exception. Due to the rising demand for rattan products, many rattan species are threatened with extinction, while unsustainable harvesting poses a risk of forest degradation and loss of biodiversity. At the same time, processing of rattan often involves the use of toxic chemicals which pollute the environment and jeopardise the health of the workers as well as the nearby communities. Many pieces of synthetic rattan furniture are not any more environmentally friendly, however, just because they are made from man-made fibres that does not necessarily mean they are harming the environment. On the contrary, all pieces of rattan garden furniture from our collection are made from environmentally friendly, non-toxic and 100% recyclable fibres.

Elegance. It is difficult to distinguish between natural and synthetic stems for a first glance. Both glimpse elegant and aesthetically pleasing, and are easily combined with both traditional and current garden style. Many people, however, consider the natural version more elegant and classy in comparison to the synthetic one. All natural materials have a unique aesthetic appeal but one must always be aware that several cannot withstand the harsh outdoor conditions and natural rattan is no exception. It is at risk of mould and rot if exposed to moisture, while direct sunlight expose causes colour remover.

Convenience. Garden furniture must not only look beautiful but it also must provide a high level of comfort. The material from the fact that furniture is made plays a critical role in its comfort but there's no significant difference between organic and synthetic rattan garden furniture, especially if it is added cushions and pillows.
