Manufacturers Selling Resin Wicker Outside Furniture

Most of the time we are searching for furniture that will be placed inside our homes – whether that includes chairs or attractive lamps or even office furniture for a home business. But how about those attractive and comfortable furniture items for your patio or deck?

Buying resin wicker outdoor furniture doesn’t mean you have to resolve yourself to the meager selection at your local garden center or department store retailer.

There are three major wicker furniture companies known for their innovative designs and high-quality finishes. These are Agio International, Ficks Reed and Gloster. To learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of each one, keep reading.

Agio Wicker Furniture

Agio International’s line of wicker furniture is known for being high-quality and able to resist and outlast just about any weather conditions. Their wicker is treated with a strong resin that’s even UV-stabilized to prevent it from fading and cracking in the sun. The company makes everything from sun loungers to full patio sets.

Though high quality, the resin wicker outdoor furniture made by Agio International is also expensive. Their wicker furniture is hand woven and well treated, but the several hundred or even several thousand dollar price tags are enough to scare most consumers away.

Ficks Reed Furniture

Originally established in 1885, Ficks Reed is a Chicago company known for its stunning indoor and outdoor furniture made from wicker, rattan, bamboo and other hardwoods. They offer over 300 designs and 30 customized colors, with most of their sales coming from customized orders. Specifically, their outdoor resin finishes are Espresso, Java, Natural and Sequoia.

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 first started in the UK in 1981 as a manufacturer of teak garden furniture. After a few years, the company moved their operations to Indonesia and began to diversify – including products like wicker or metal furniture in their line up. Their rattan wicker is high grade and treated with a special moisture and UV-ray resistant resin to minimize weather damage to your investment.

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.
