Rattan Furniture:
Rattan Furniture is made from a vine that grows in the mountain regions of the Philippines and Southeast Asian. The vines growupto hundreds of feet long and are cut into 15 to 20 foot lengths. Then it is bundled and transported to the furniture manufacturer. Rattan stems are solid, rather than hollow, as in bamboo. It is very difficult to break or splinter, it is an excellent material to use for making furniture. Once at the manufacturer, this material can be steamed and then bent and shaped to produce a variety of furniture. It also can be used as a decorative accent and is often referred to as cane. Cane is often used to produce seat decking and back support on furniture.
