Wicker furniture for the garden
I once saw in a TV series wicker furniture at the dacha, a table and chairs. I liked it so much that I decided to find a similar one for my dacha. Do you like this kind of furniture, do you think it will last a long time or is it a waste of money?
Reviews are different. Some people had a good wicker rattan chair that fell apart the next day (well, a heavy guy was sitting there), while others had it for 10 years already. I think wicker furniture is just right for a dacha, because the apartment has dry air and the furniture is like that It might actually break, but the air in the country is more humid.
It just all depends on the meaning that you put into the wording - “wicker furniture”. If it is artificial rattan, then it is not subject to destruction from atmospheric phenomena, be it the sun or precipitation, and the furniture should not fall apart or lose shape, since the base consists of a metal frame that is braided with rattan.
Garden swing Varadero is a low price and simply excellent quality with excellent design.
Are you going to use this furniture inside the house or in the garden in the summer kitchen? A lot depends on this. There will definitely be nothing like this furniture in the house, but you will have to bring it in from the street during the rains, no matter what happens to it from the humidity.
Good wicker furniture is very expensive.I also dream of buying myself chairs and a table, but I still don’t earn enough to afford such luxury. But such furniture looks great on the site. If you put it on a covered veranda or in a gazebo, then nothing will happen to it. The main thing is to put it away in a dry place for the winter.
If you take wicker furniture for your dacha, it must be handmade, and not the kind they sell in stores. Then there will truly be an exclusive that you can boast about. I often meet sellers of such furniture on the way to the dacha, but I’ve never asked the price for it.
If no one lives at the dacha all year round, then there is probably no point in buying too expensive wicker furniture there, especially at the expense of the family budget.
If you buy quality furniture, it will last for many years. I also really love wicker furniture and consider it a decoration for any interior.
Yes it is. But if the furniture is intended for the street, and in winter it will stand in a cold house, then you should not spend money on good furniture. If the dacha is lived in all year round, the house is heated, then such furniture will last a long time.
And I think that for a summer cottage you can buy imitation wicker furniture. Yes, it will be cheaper, but in winter you won’t mind that real wicker stands idle in a cold, damp house. If, of course, you live at the dacha all year round, go there with the whole family to relax, and in general the dacha is for the soul, then you can buy real wicker furniture.
When choosing wicker furniture, there are several important points to consider:
Where exactly will you place it - inside or outside.
What material do you want the braid from?
There is furniture made of bamboo - durable, golden in color, and not particularly demanding in care.
Made from rattan - three shades: beige, amber, walnut. Does not like sunny color and a lot of moisture. Not particularly suitable for the street.
Made from seaweed - easy to clean, soft, durable, but not all products are made from it.
Made from wicker, it is durable and lasts a long time, but the floor can become deformed when exposed to sunlight or moisture.
Look at the wooden furniture, I liked it, I bought a sofa for the dacha
The furniture is very beautiful. I’ve also looked at this type of furniture more than once. But the price stopped me, it is very expensive. Although I read a lot of positive reviews about her.
I really like rattan)
I recently found a new online store, Wheelingstore, which has an excellent selection, including wicker furniture.
Wicker furniture does not tolerate dampness. The color becomes gray and the varnish peels off. But there is furniture made of metal and plastic that imitates rattan weaving. Just right for a dacha; does not deteriorate and looks aesthetically pleasing.
If you don’t leave wicker furniture outside, then nothing will happen to it, and varnish may well protect it from moisture for many years. Therefore, furniture should be placed in the house or on the terrace.
I have a couple of real rattan chairs at my dacha and they are already 10 years old, if not more. There are no problems with them, the main thing is to remove them under the canopy in time so that rain does not fall on them. In general, rattan is a fairly wear-resistant material. And a small amount of moisture does not harm it.
It is quite possible to make wicker furniture yourself from willow branches. True, it will take quite a lot of time, so it will be easier to buy it. I have seen such furniture for sale - it is relatively inexpensive.
