At Home from Home we stock a wide range of second hand rattan furniture. After doing some on line research we have found helpful tips about second hand rattan furniture.
Second hand rattan furniture is made from rattan canes or vines, a species of palm that is very similar to bamboo. Because it is relatively inexpensive, lightweight, extremely durable and has an exotic aesthetic, rattan is a popular choice for home décor. It is flexible enough for both indoor and outdoor use.
Rattan is one of the strongest woods in nature, has a solid core and grows wildly and abundantly in South East Asia. Its exotic nature makes second hand rattan furniture especially appropriate for use in rooms with a tropical or Asian theme. Virtually any furniture can be made from rattan, from chairs and sofas to desks and bed frames. Rattan takes paint and stain easily, so it’s easy to adjust second hand rattan furniture when redecorating.
Second hand rattan furniture is easy to maintain. Unlike furniture made of wood, it does not require periodic moisturising with oil and will retain its shape, colour and strength for a number of years. Cleaning rattan is as easy as wiping it with a damp cloth; no special chemicals or materials are required. Unlike metal lawn chairs and tables, rattan stands up well to all weather conditions and can be left outside.
