    How long rattan furniture lasts depends on a variety of factors, including where you use and store it, how you care for it and the quality of the manufacturing. Outdoors, rattan furniture usually doesn’t last as long, but indoors, pieces can remain beautiful for many years, especially when wiped clean regularly. Rattan and wicker furniture tend to get a bit of a bad rap, often associated with kitschy 1980s decor or denigrated as something found in the home of a dowdy great aunt. But the long-lasting natural medium, made popular in Great Britain and the United States during the Victorian era, is a master of disguise, able to mingle with a wide range of styles when done the right way. On 1stDibs, shop a range of rattan furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    Whether wicker or rattan is better for outdoor furniture depends on whether you're referring to natural or synthetic wicker. Both natural wicker and rattan can become damaged when exposed to the elements. However, experts state that synthetic rattan may be slightly more durable than natural wicker. Synthetic or all-weather wicker made of resin is weather-resistant, so this type of wicker may outlast both natural rattan and wicker. Explore a wide range of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.

However, how frequently the furniture gets used and how well you care for and maintain it will also impact its longevity. Generally, rattan furniture can remain in good condition for at least 10 years. Following the manufacturer's care instructions can further help preserve your piece. On 1stDibs, explore a selection of rattan furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    As far as determining whether aluminum or rattan is better for outdoor furniture, one should keep in mind that genuine rattan is not waterproof. If you’re thinking about using rattan outdoor furniture in a patio or garden area and you live in a region that is susceptible to inclement weather, this material will most certainly rot if subjected to prolonged periods of rain or snow. Invest in a durable waterproof cover to protect your rattan outdoor furniture in the rain or, if you are able, store it away. Cast aluminum is a popular choice for outdoor furniture given that it is resistant to rust and it is a durable material. Find a selection of outdoor furniture on 1stDibs.
