Wicker furniture is very durable and strong, whether it is made from bamboo, reed, or rattan. Some wicker furniture is made from resin wicker, which is also called all-weather wicker.  The wicker material is woven or wrapped around a frame that is usually made from iron or steel, and this further improves the durability and toughness of the furniture. Wicker furniture can also be waterproofed so you can leave your outside furniture outside and not worry about rain damaging it.
