Wicker is basically a slender flexible branch, vine, or grass that is woven into a pattern. Wicker furniture and rattan furniture has a unique combination of strength and delicate workmanship. Wickerwork is created by weaving or interlacing wicker. Wicker furniture is made from weaving branches around a frame into the shapes of tables, chairs, and sofas. Wicker furniture can be made of willow, rattan, bamboo, reed, or synthetic materials. Wicker furniture is light and airy in nature. Wicker furniture is also popular as child-scaled furniture or as furnishings for a young womans bedroom.

Wicker furniture is also used as outdoor patio furniture. Because of its relatively light weight, the furniture is easy to position around the yard and easy to move indoors when the seasons change. In addition to outdoor and indoor furniture, wicker is also made into objects such as lampshades, chests, hampers, planters, porch swings, baby bassinets and carriages. Wicker and rattan furniture is very affordable, for both indoor and outdoor use, due to the use of relatively inexpensive raw materials.
