Can you varnish rattan furniture?
1 Answer

Yes, you can varnish rattan furniture. Doing so can actually help to seal the natural material and may help extend the life of your piece. Prior to varnishing, experts recommend that you carefully sand the surfaces of your furniture. Because this is a delicate process, you may wish to enlist the help of professional furniture restorers to ensure the best results. Shop a large selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
