Rattan is a cane grown in the far east and western Pacfic region, mostly in Indonesia but also in the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Bangladesh. With a superficial resemblance to bamboo, rattan is durable, light, and somewhat flexible, making it both easy and ideal for fashioning into furniture. Rattan patio furniture has been popular for a long period of time and lends an understated tropical feel to any deck or patio, open or enclosed.
