I thought that we may cover this subject in our blog , as Wicker Settings are becoming ever popular. Customers often have many questions about the origin, companies involved, How will it last, etc. Wicker was introduced to the Market a few years ago. Made to resemble the traditional ‘Old Popular Favourite’ ie. Cane Outdoor Furniture that many grew up with, wicker is a Modern Plastic version.

Wicker is hand-woven like the old cane furniture but woven on aluminium frames that have been powder coated. As there are many wickers on the market, it is important to distinguish the differences. Generics that can be found at Mass Merchant Stores have become quite cheap compared to Boutique Wicker from Quality Manufacturers like CLASSIQUE and SHELTA. Mass merchants import mass volumes that are made cutting quite many corners.

This is the difference bewtween Quality Branded Wicker like Classique :

Some Wickers are made without Durability testing and can unweave itself from the chair at first secured points or come apart. The Wicker from Classique is the Finest Wicker in the country and is found is many of Austalia’s Top Resorts. They have proven Durability and Reliability and wont change colour. Classique own their Wicker Factory and have stringent controls over the quality of Wicker being made. The chairs and tables contain 40% more wicker strands than generics. Have a look under the chair or check out the chairs backrest. The process of Hand Weaving onto Aluminium Re-Inforced Chairs are also Strictly controlled by Classique. You will find the chairs are heavier and offer more support and structure as well.

The CLASSIQUE Product is called ” Durawick Synthetic Wicker” and is independantly tested by the Australian Wool Testing Authority ( AWA) to verify its durability under the harsh weathering conditions and high UV Radiation experienced in the Australian & Middle East climates.

Results from AWA scored the Classique Durawick as a 5 out of 5 for each colour. It is covered by a 3 Year ( Residential Warranty ) and 2 Year Commercial Warranty. The Warranty coves the Durawick strands against Splitting, Cracking, Staining or Unravelling under normal conditions. The UV Stabilizer is created from a Swiss company which mixes “Chemissorb” and

“Tinuvin” stabilizers into every production run of the Durawick weave. The Hence the wicker will not change colour.

TIP: There are also have many thoughtfully designed Wicker Casual Lounge Settings to match Outdoor Dining Settings.

All this means you get a fine product, backed better than most - You win. We think Wicker ; Correction - (Good Quality Wicker) Is a great product, Is quite Stylish and Elegant for the Backyard, and Will be easy to maintain. Should give you many years of service.
