Most of  wicker and rattan furniture originates from Southeast Asia and is manufactured by hand. After import, the product is carefully inspected before assembly and finished in the United States. All materials used in the assembly process are American-made. All fabrics are from North and South Carolina mills, and all cushions, covering, and upholstery are crafted at our North Carolina facility.

Rattan is a vine that grows in the tropical forests of the Far East. Growing hundreds of feet in length, it is one of nature’s strongest materials. It will not splinter or break, making it ideal for making furniture. Once molded, solid rattan retains its contours permanently. Peel, the outer skin of the rattan pole, is traditionally used to wrap joints. Wicker refers to products that are made from reed, cane, rush, willow, or other natural materials. When wet, these materials are pliable enough to be woven. Wicker and rattan are natural products, each with unique qualities. When stained or finished, slight differences in hue and color are part of the beauty of owning a product made from nature.
