Questions About Rattan Trash Can
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023The main differences between a wastebasket and a trash can are function and size. Generally, a waste basket is a small container used indoors to collect waste. A trash can is a larger waste container. Both indoor and outdoor versions are available. Many waste baskets have decorative designs, while trash cans are usually simple metal or plastic containers. Shop a selection of wastebaskets on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024The difference between poly rattan and rattan is the material. Rattan is a natural material derived from one of a number of vine-like plants, while poly rattan is a man-made polymer designed to resemble rattan. Because it is synthetic, poly rattan is more resistant to the effects of sun exposure and weather. Explore a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Are rattan and bamboo the same?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, 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.
- What is rattan material?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024Rattan is one of the materials used to make wicker furniture and other furnishings. It comes from a plant that grows in hot, tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia. The quick-growing plant has a bamboo-like inner material that gets removed and fashioned into cane. Stalks of rattan (whose name derives from the Malay “rota”) are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Pieces of rattan furniture were welcomed indoors in the mid-20th century, and over time the medium has been put to use by giants of modernism such as Josef Hoffmann, Thonet, Jean-Michel Frank and Donald Deskey. Shop a wide variety of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- What are the types of rattan?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023The types of rattan are cane, reed, synthetic, Himalayan and Manau. Cane comes from the layer of rattan just below the skin of the vine, while reed is the inner woody part. Himalayan rattan is a softer material commonly used to produce musical instruments. Found in China, Africa and Southeast Asia, Manau rattan is highly durable and thicker than other varieties. Synthetic rattan is a man-made material produced out of polyethylene and other polymers. Shop a variety of rattan furniture and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
- Why is rattan so popular?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024Rattan is so popular for a number of reasons. For one thing, many people like its natural appearance and appreciate how rattan furniture adds organic texture to a space. In addition, rattan furniture is durable but lightweight, making it easy to move when cleaning or redecorating. Some people also prefer it as a more sustainable alternative to wood, as the plants that produce rattan grow quicker than trees. Explore a wide range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is real rattan expensive?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Whether real rattan is expensive is a matter of opinion. However, rattan poles do tend to cost more than bamboo and many of the other materials used to make wicker and cane furniture. Keep in mind that other factors also influence the cost of furniture, including whether it is mass-produced or handmade and how many pieces are available compared to the demand for them. Explore a range of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Are rattan chairs worth it?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024Yes, many furniture lovers believe that rattan chairs are worth it. Not only is rattan a visually appealing choice of material for furniture making, but it is also a lightweight, durable material that resists damage due to UV, moisture and fluctuations in temperature.

At 1stDibs, we believe in buying what you love. Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection.

- What style is rattan furniture?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024The style of rattan furniture varies from piece to piece. Furnishings made of rattan grew in popularity during the mid-century, but older pieces may show off characteristics of the Victorian period. In modern homes, rattan pieces often complement coastal, organic, bohemian and modern tropical interior design styles. Shop a selection of rattan furniture on 1stDibs.
- Is rattan better than wicker?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 5, 2024No, rattan isn't better than wicker — they're not interchangeable terms. The use of rattan stretches from prehistory to IKEA. To clarify, rattan is not bamboo, which is a rigid, hollow reed. Stalks of rattan are dense, steamable and bendable, which is why it lends itself to curvaceous designs and infinite creative uses in a way bamboo does not. Nor is rattan synonymous with wicker, which is a broader term for woven items — often made of rattan fibers but also of willow, other pliable reeds or even synthetic materials. Wicker and rattan tend to get a bit of a bad rap, but they can actually mingle with a wide range of styles — when done the right way.

- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024To tell if rattan is vintage, examine the furnishing in search of a maker's marking. Vintage is the term for any rattan furniture made between 20 and 99 years ago. Older pieces are antique, and more recently crafted ones are contemporary. By researching the maker and the pieces they produced using trusted online resources, you may be able to roughly determine the year of production. Characteristics of your furniture can aid in the dating process, too. Often, vintage pieces have hardwood rather than metal frames, and the rattan will be natural rather than resin. Should you require any assistance, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a range of rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024The best method for repairing rattan furniture depends on the extent of the damage.

On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of rattan furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024Yes, you can varnish rattan furniture. Doing so can actually help to seal the natural material and may help extend the life of your piece.
