PU Rattan vs. Natural Rattan: Which One Should You Choose?

 

If you're dreaming of that chic outdoor space or a cozy indoor corner with rattan vibes, you’ve probably stumbled upon the big debate:

 

PU Rattan or Natural Rattan — which is better?

 

Both look stunning, but they’re totally different beasts when it comes to performance, maintenance, and price. Let’s dive into the world of rattan and see which one is right for you!

 

What Is Rattan Anyway?

First off, rattan is a natural vine-like palm plant that’s been woven into furniture and décor for centuries — think tropical resorts and cozy cafes. But as much as we love the organic beauty of natural rattan, it has some downsides when exposed to the elements.

 

Enter PU Rattan, the modern game-changer. Also known as Polyurethane Rattan, this synthetic alternative is made to mimic the real deal but with way more durability and less fuss.

 

U Rattan vs. Natural Rattan — The Ultimate Showdown

1. Outdoor Durability

	PU Rattan	Natural Rattan
Weatherproof?	✅ Yes — Rain or shine, it holds up!	❌ No — Hates rain and sun.
UV Resistant?	✅ Yes — Won’t fade or crack in the sun.	❌ No —  Sun can dry and crack it.
Ideal for Outdoors?	100% Perfect choice!	Not recommended without cover.

Verdict: If you’re designing a garden, patio, or balcony setup, PU Rattan wins hands down.

 

2. Maintenance

	PU Rattan	Natural Rattan
Care Routine?	Easy — Just wipe with a cloth!	High — Needs oiling and delicate cleaning.
Mold/Mildew?	Nope, resistant!	Yes, if exposed to moisture.
Longevity with Minimal Care?	Lasts for years. (14-Years and counting for my personal set)	Can break down without care.

Verdict: PU Rattan is perfect for busy people who want style without the stress.

 

3. Look & Feel

	PU Rattan	Natural Rattan
Authenticity?	Close imitation but smooth and uniform.	Unique, organic, imperfect (in a good way!).
Texture?	Slightly plastic feel.	Real wood-like texture.
Customizable?	Tons of colors & patterns.	Natural shades, limited options.

Verdict: Natural rattan wins on authentic vibe, but PU Rattan gives you variety and modern finishes.

 

4. Price

	PU Rattan	Natural Rattan
Cost?	More budget-friendly.	Premium price for natural material.
Value?	Great value for durability.	Luxury, but comes at a cost.

Verdict: PU Rattan is the winner if you're looking for style on a budget.

Final Thoughts

• If you’re all about easy living, weather-proofing, and modern looks, PU Rattan is your best friend.
