What is rattan furniture made of?

Recently, Xiaobian has received a lot of private letters asking, what is the raw material of rattan furniture, is it safe? Let's talk about it today.

Rattan is a spiny climbing plant of Palmae that grows in tropical forests. Rattan is of great benefit to the natural environment and even the whole ecosystem in the growth process. It can adapt to the poor soil, and can not disturb the original ecological structure and balance in the natural forest. 

It is very important for the recuperation and restoration of forest resources. Rattan furniture mainly consists of two types of support materials and woven materials: 1. Support materials: anti-corrosion, moth proof and crack proof before use. In addition to bamboo, steel pipe, cane, wicker and plastic can also be used to make supports. 2. Woven material: mainly rattan. Rattan can be processed into rattan strip, rattan core and rattan skin, and the part used for weaving is rattan skin. The common vines include guangteng, touteng and wild vines. The family members used to weave rattan furniture mainly include bamboo rattan, white rattan, red rattan and palm rattan. Bamboo rattan is called agate rattan, which is also known as the "king of rattan". There are also kudzu, wisteria, Caulis Spatholobi, etc., which are also used to produce rattan furniture, mainly for weaving. Scabbard cane is called cane in rattan furniture industry. It looks like bamboo and is solid. The skin of rattan is generally milky white, milky yellow or light red. Some rattan skins have spotted lines on the surface, commonly known as patchwork rattan, which has natural decoration. On the cross section of rattan, the proportion of rattan from the outside to the inside is not the same, the ratio of rattan skin part is larger, and the proportion of rattan ruler part is smaller. The rattan material with large proportion change is poor, and the rattan material with small proportion change is better.
