What is the difference between wicker and resin wicker?

What is the difference between wicker and resin wicker?
The difference between wicker and resin wicker comes down to the source of the materials. Genuine or natural wicker is a woven material produced out of rattan, bamboo, reed, willow and similar fibers. Resin wicker is a man-made material composed of polymers. As a result, resin wicker tends to be more resistant to the effects of weather than naturally derived wicker. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of wicker furniture.
