Wicker vs. rattan: what's the difference?
Wicker and rattan are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference:
- Wicker: the weaving technique. Can be made from synthetic material or natural rattan
- Rattan: the natural plant-based material. Synthetic rattan (polyrattan) is the weather-resistant version for outdoors
For outdoor furniture, wicker and synthetic rattan are effectively the same: woven polyrattan on an aluminium frame.
What to look for in a wicker garden set
- Synthetic material: choose only synthetic polyrattan for outdoor use — natural rattan is not weather-resistant
- Frame: aluminium frame = rust-proof and durable; steel frame = can rust if coating is damaged
- Weave density: tight weaving is stronger and more comfortable; open weaving is airier but less sturdy
- Table top: wicker tables often have a glass or HPL top — glass is attractive but fragile; HPL is more robust
Maintenance of a wicker garden set
Wicker garden sets are particularly low-maintenance. Clean with water and a soft brush. Do not use a pressure washer directly on the weaving — this can damage the fibres. Protect the set with a protective cover in winter. Combine with garden cushions for extra comfort and colour accents.

Frequently asked questions
Is wicker the same as rattan?
Wicker is the weaving technique; rattan is the material. For outdoor furniture, both terms are used for synthetic polyrattan on an aluminium frame. In practice, they are the same for garden sets.
Can a wicker garden set stay outside?
Yes, synthetic wicker (polyrattan) is fully weather-resistant and UV-fast. It can stay outside all year round. A protective cover in winter is recommended for extra protection.
Is wicker comfortable to sit on?
Yes, wicker has slight flexibility due to the weave structure. Many people find wicker chairs comfortable even without cushions. With a cushion, the seating comfort is even better.
How do I clean a wicker garden set?
Spray the weaving with a garden hose and use a soft brush for stubborn dirt. Avoid pressure washers — they can damage the weaving.
Does wicker discolour in the sun?
Quality synthetic wicker is UV-resistant and does not discolour noticeably. With cheaper variants, slight fading may occur after years.
What colours is wicker available in?
Wicker garden sets are available in natural (beige/brown), grey, anthracite, black and white. Natural and grey are most classic; black and anthracite are more modern.
How do I style a wicker garden set?
Wicker combines beautifully with wood, natural stone and greenery. Choose cushions in a contrasting colour and add a parasol for a complete, charming outdoor space.
How much does a wicker garden set cost?
Wicker garden sets start around €300 for a compact set. Larger dining sets range between €600 and €2,000, depending on the size and brand.
