Just because you re purchasing resin wicker outdoor furniture, doesn t translate to you needing to settle for whatever is on sale at the garden shop or discount department store.

It s possible to find high quality, well designed, outdoor wicker furniture, and there are three global companies that are doing it Agio International from Australia, Ficks Reed from Chicago and Gloster from Indonesia and the UK. To find out more about each of these unique furniture companies, keep reading.

Agio Wicker Furniture

Wicker furniture by Agio International is well known for its high quality construction and durability, even in poor weather conditions. The wicker is hand woven and treated with a durable resin that s resistant to UV rays, meaning the furniture won t fade or crack in the sun. Their line of products include dining sets, bar sets and lounge settings.

However, the downfall of buying resin wicker outdoor furniture made by Agio International is the price. Because it s hand woven and fully treated, Agio products can cost thousands of dollars, making them out of reach for the casual consumer who s simply looking for basic, outdoor patio furniture.

Wicker by Ficks Reed

For over 120 years, Ficks Reed has been making furniture from rattan, wicker, bamboo and other exotic hardwoods. The company does the majority of its sales through custom orders and subsequently offers customers their choice of 300 styles and over 30 colors or stains. There are four colors available in their outdoor resin line these include Java, Sequoia, Espresso and Natural.

Ficks Reed is a popular and well known name because of its high quality, American produced wicker furniture. Due to this, they re extremely susceptible to counterfeits and copies, so buyers should beware. If you suspect a shady retailer or seller is attempting to pass off a copy, contact Ficks Reed directly to make sure they are a certified reseller. Alternatively, you can order a catalog or custom made product from Ficks Reed directly.

Wicker by Gloster Furniture

Gloster Furniture got their start making teak outdoor furniture for the UK market in 1981. In 1992, the company eventually moved their factory and manufacturing headquarters to Indonesia and started also making resin wicker, metal and woven products. Their wicker products are high quality and are all finished with a special resin designed to keep out moisture and the sun s fading rays.

Though Gloster is known for being a high end producer of quality resin wicker outdoor furniture, they re primarily known as a teak furniture manufacturer, which was the company s first business. Because wicker isn t the focus of their business, customers can expect a small product selection and the threat of their product lines disappearing or being replaced by teak alternatives.

Furniture that you use outside of your home on a patio, deck or scattered about in your backyard can be both attractive and useful for family and guests. However, since it is continually exposed to the outdoor elements, it is important you select items that are also durable.
