Both rattan and teak are very comfortable materials. The difference between the level of comfort the chosen garden Plastic Rattan Set will provide you with depends primarily on its design rather than material from which it is made. But it is also true, that rattan garden furniture is typically added garden cushions to increase both its comfort and aesthetic appeal, while teak does not require any additions to either look more appealing or feel more comfortable.

Durability.

You will enjoy the beauty and comfort of both rattan and teak garden furniture for many years to come. In addition to withstanding the damaging effects of the weather and other outdoor elements, synthetic rattan is also designed to last. But it is also true that its durability cannot compare to teak which can easily last a lifetime.

Eco-friendliness.

Due to the population growth, the increased pressure on natural resources including wood has become a major environmental concern as it threatens the world's biodiversity and contributes to the climate change. Man-made materials, on the other hand, are often made from hazardous materials which are harming the environment both during production and after being discarded. As a result, many people are confused about which material to choose in order to reduce their impact on the environment.

By choosing garden furniture which is made from all natural material such as teak, you are not necessarily contributing to deforestation and increasing your carbon footprint. As long as the wood is sourced from sustainably managed plantations, your conscious can be clear. Faraway teak garden furniture is made exclusively from timber that is harvested in sustainably managed and government-controlled teak plantations in Indonesia. Every tree that is cut down is replaced, while a part of every plantation serves as a habitat for wildlife. By choosing Faraway teak garden furniture, you will help protect rather that threaten the world's forests as well as help improve the living and working conditions of the local communities that are under increased pressure of illegal logging that is closely related to corruption, violence and severe human rights violations.

Synthetic materials are not always harmful to the environment. Although this is usually the exception rather than the rule, all pieces from our rattan garden furniture collection are made from Viro or Rahau fibres which in turn are made according to the highest environmental standards. Both Viro Fiber and Rehau companies hold the environmental certifications, while the rattan itself contains no toxic substances or plasticizers. Viro and Rehau all weather weave do not pose any threat of pollution when discarded and do not release any toxic chemicals even if burned.

Cost.

Synthetic materials are usually less expensive than all natural ones, however, there is no major difference between a fine rattan and teak garden furniture. But considering that teak garden furniture can last a lifetime, it may be more cost efficient in the long term in comparison to its rattan counterpart.

But in fact, prices vary based on various types of wood. Difference in cost of a teak and fine synthetic rattan outdoor furniture is minor, while oak or maple are much more expensive than wicker.

However, just bear in mind that the important thing is not only the price, but the worth! Synthetic rattan or wood might be much more expensive compared to other materials, but they can last a lifetime as long as you maintain them in the right way.

In conclusion, while wood is stronger, outdoor synthetic rattan furniture performs better in terms of weather resistance. Cost differences are variable and usually, wicker is cheapler than wood. Each type of material has different styles to go for and the choice is up to you!
