Our Favorite Thick Wicker Furniture Sets with Rounded Strands
Thick wicker is rounder than flatter types of weave. Many people like the look of thick wicker furniture because it looks like it's a higher quality, and they're right. Because it uses more material, the cost of thicker weaves is usually around 15% higher than regular wicker. These pieces are thicker and have a cord-like construction instead of the thinner and flatter wicker strands that are most common.
It can be difficult to figure out which furniture sets actually have a thicker weave when shopping online but I've had the opportunity to see many, many types of wicker furniture. These are some of the best outdoor wicker brands and they use herringbone, cord seat weaving, lattice weaving, or basket weaving techniques. These outdoor wicker sets are made of the finest quality all-weather synthetic resin wickers and many of them are even eco-friendly. This is not the type of wicker furniture that will crack, peel, fade or begin unraveling. It also does not have the cheap plastic look that low-quality wicker furniture sets have. Just see what it looks like in these commercial venues.
