Wicker, or its bohemian counterpart, rattan, has been around forever. In fact, it’s the oldest furniture-making method, with pieces made as far back as 5,000 years ago. That’s right, the ancient Egyptians lounged in their wicker furniture just like us! And it’s had resurgences over the years, like in the Victorian period with its curled, whimsical furnishings and in the 1970s when wicker felt so easy, breezy, and free-spirited.
Nowadays, wicker is a classic that’ll continue to be popular for decades (and who knows, maybe even centuries!). And although you can go with tried-and-true standards (the kind of stuff you’d see on your grandmother’s porch), there are brands and designers who are taking wicker up a notch to make it even more stylish. Think: modern silhouettes, surprising hues, and vintage throwbacks that also feel so right-this-minute.
Whether you’re on the lookout for a full dining set or are jonesing for a beautiful accent piece to complete your patio, we’re here with our eight picks for some of the best wicker outdoor furniture around.

Best Patterning
Beachcrest Home™ Avina Patio Dining Side Chair (Set of 2)

Why We Love It: These chairs will add a pop of pattern to any deck or patio, making for an outdoor living space that stands out from the rest.
Outfitted in curvaceous, geometric detailing, this nearly seven-foot wicker chaise lounge from Article looks like something right out of the Art Deco era.

And a chaise lounge will allow you to really let your hair down and relax outdoors—or even take a lovely nap.

Best Dining Set
Christopher Knight Home Sawtelle 7pc Outdoor 6 Seater Wicker Dining Set
Slats in both table and chairs allow for breeziness
Cons
Assembly required
Sometimes, it can be difficult to track down an outdoor dining set that’s equal parts functional and stylish, but with this one, we believe we’ve discovered a set that strikes that balance. With six dining chairs rendered in polyethylene rattan (that means it’s water-resistant) and sturdy iron legs, along with a teak table that can withstand the elements, this set has staying power. And, not to mention the fact that it feels cool and modern, adding a dose of style to any outdoor space.
Why We Love It: The combination of rattan, iron, and teak makes for a mix of materials that’s unexpected and visually-pleasing at the same time.
