Never more true than with the new outdoor wicker furniture out there in the marketplace today! Be aware… if it’s a bargain, you must ask the following questions:

Q: Is it plastic?

A: The correct answer is “no”… it is polyethylene.

Q: Is this for outdoors? Won’t it get hot and stretch out of shape?

A: Polyethylene will withstand temperatures of -20º to 120º and will never lose its shape.

Q: Will the color fade and will the fiber break?

A: Polyethylene is UV tested and through-dyed (as opposed to top-dyed) so the color will never fade. The fibers are dense and will never break!

Q: How do you clean this outdoor furniture?

A: It cleans easily with soap and water. It is non-toxic, is 100% recyclable and built to last for generations!

At Teak Warehouse we only use European fibers by VIRO® and REHAU®. These companies have been around for decades! Their all-0weather wicker is designed and engineered for outdoor use. It has lasting value, superior components, and years of stringent UV and weather testing!

So DON’t buy cheap and nasty plastic furniture that will stretch, fade, and crack – and is available everywhere else at bargain prices!

We deal directly with the manufacturer which allows us to keep the quality high and the cost low!
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STILL BUY QUALITY!
