Most wicker outdoor furniture is essentially recycled plastic these days. This is because it won't suffer from the elements like natural rattan or banana leaf weave might, there won't be any damp or mildew problems, sun fading can be eliminated and cleaning is far easier with man made materials. Recycled materials are also abundantly available so furniture can be made close to the market and reduce prices.
You identify this style of wicker furniture because it goes under various names, all weather wicker furniture, synthetic wicker, poly wicker and outdoor wicker furniture. Most furniture pieces constructed from these materials will be mounted on light weight aluminum frames for rust prevention and durability, and a wicker weave from man made material will be mounted on the frame to give a durable, easy to clean and stylish piece of furniture.
