In general, there are two types of rattan – natural and synthetic. Both has its own characteristics. To make synthetic cane, people usually use processed plastic materials by following the structure and appearance like rattan.

Synthetic cane can come in a wide variety of colors, which can help to meet the market’s demands for stylish looking furniture.
