Wicker Furniture | Chicago Wicker & Irwin & Sons

Wicker is hard woven fiber usually used for furniture. Traditional wicker is made of material of plant origin. Materials used can be any part of a plant, such as the cores or canes of rattan stalks, or the whole thickness, as with willow switches. Other popular materials include reed and bamboo.

Wicker is light yet sturdy, making it suitable for furniture that will be moved often. It is often used for porch and patio furniture.

Wicker furniture has been documented as far back as ancient Egypt and wicker baskets have been found in Pompeii. It has been proposed that the extensive use of wicker objects in the Iron Age had an influence on the development of the patterns used in Celtic art. In recent times, its aesthetic was influenced heavily by the Arts and Crafts movement at the turn of the 20th century. Antique wicker products are highly sought after by collectors.

 Aluminum Furniture | Windward Design Group

Aluminum is a strong, rust & weather resistant, light weight metal that is a good choice for outdoor patio furniture. Spas, pools and patio is a factory outlet for Casual Creations, a premier American manufacturer of high quality aluminum outdoor patio furniture. Below are some of the advantages that Casual Creations offers over the competition:

FULL CIRCUMFERENCE WELDING
Each weld runs the full circumference of the tube, providing superior strength over spot welding. Turn a chair over and compare welds with any other manufacturer.

COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED
We ship our furniture completely assembled and ready to use. No assembly or tools are required.

CORROSION PREVENTION
Each piece is thoroughly cleaned and dried, then treated with a special sealant before painting - greatly prolonging the life of the painted frame.

STURDY FRAMES
Our tube walls are never less than .063" thick, providing extra strength, much greater resistance to denting and exceptionally long-term durability.

INSPECTED FOR QUALITY
Our furniture is inspected at each step in production. A final quality control inspection ensures that only superior quality pieces are shipped.

DOUBLE-WRAPPED STRAPS
Each strap is double wrapped on the frame and secured with aluminum rivets, providing greater holding power than single or slot wraps. Our .115" virgin vinyl is the thickest in the industry.

TILT SWIVEL BASE
Our tilt swivel base is one of the largest in the industry - tilt back and the chair stays on the floor.

LUMBAR SUPPORT
Lumbar support is built into most of our seating groups. This simple yet ergonomically designed shape supports the natural curve of the spinal column providing exceptional comfort.

VERSATILITY
Replacement cushions, slings, and straps are available. Casual Creations furniture is built to last for years, but you can change the fabric or straps at any time for a different look.

EXCLUSIVITY
Casual Creations carries a number of exclusively designed fabrics that aren't available from other manufacturers.

CHOICES
We offer over 250 frame styles, 14 frame colors, 21 strap colors, and more than 85 fabrics. Each piece is custom made in your selection of frame color and fabric

15 year residential warranty
