Not all wicker outdoor furniture is created equal.  There is a big difference in quality and materials across different wicker materials.  Everything we sell is HDPE wicker (the good stuff), which is the most durable and most realistic wicker you can purchase for outdoor furniture.  HDPE wicker is more temperature resistant, more fade resistant, and the strongest wicker material you can use.  When wicker furniture is made from HDPE and woven over an aluminum frame, you end up with a product that will last for many years with very little wear.  All our wicker patio furniture for sale is made from this high quality HDPE wicker.
