Our trusted network of 1stDibs sellers answer common questions
Are rattan and bamboo the same?
1 Answer
No, bamboo and rattan are not the same. Bamboo is inflexible so it cannot be curved to make different shapes. Alternatively, rattan is flexible and a type of climbing palm. It looks similar to bamboo but it’s more versatile and not as durable. Shop a collection of bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
