rattan-look wicker chairs


Explanation:
When faced with buying furniture, many readers won't know what wicker is. It surprises many of them to know that wicker is the name of a weaving process, and not the name of any single material. Wicker furniture is not confined to natural materials but can be made from any natural or man-made material that is pliable and durable enough to be woven into furniture.

Rattan chair[edit]

Rattans are extensively used for making baskets and furniture. When cut into sections, rattan can be used as wood to make furniture. Rattan accepts paints and stains like many other kinds of wood, so it is available in many colours, and it can be worked into many styles. Moreover, the inner core can be separated and worked into wicker.

I just know them as "cane chairs" (if both the back and seat are caned). The majority will have a "caned-back" with an upholstered seat. In my country the Salvation Army for the Blind have instituted several programmes for the visually impaired, a true art form. They do great work.
