Woven plastic furniture has been dominating our backyards for pretty much a decade. The wicker style weave mimics normal rattan but it's far more durable than its natural alternative, making it a stylishly practical choice for our backyards. Now though, with summer 2023 well within our sights, it's safe to say this synthetic outdoor furniture has outstayed its welcome. The question is, what will replace it?
Polyrattan, resin wicker, synthetic rattan - whatever you choose to call it - woven furniture has been a mainstay on patios, decking, and lawns for a long time. Being low-maintenance, lightweight, and typically UV-resistant, it's a great option for modern outdoor furniture that lasts. Unfortunately, though, with its ultra-modern style and plastic material, it falls short of timeless design, outliving itself as a garden trend.
