Synthetic wicker is a type of material designed to mimic traditional wicker, which is made from natural plant fibers. Unlike natural wicker, synthetic wicker is typically made from durable plastics, such as polyethylene, making it resistant to weather, fading, and wear. This makes it a popular choice for outdoor furniture and decor. The use of synthetic wicker allows for a variety of styles and colors, providing versatility in design. It is lightweight and easy to clean, making it suitable for both residential and commercial settings. Additionally, synthetic wicker is often more affordable than natural wicker, appealing to a broader range of consumers.
