Q1. What is the difference between plastic wicker (synthetic rattan) and natural rattan? Will it crack or fade under long-term outdoor sun exposure?

A: The difference is massive! While natural rattan looks classic, it easily molds, rots, and snaps when exposed to rain and sun. WOODEVER utilizes premium, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) synthetic wicker, which is 100% waterproof and mold-resistant. Furthermore, we blend in top-tier UV stabilizers during raw material production. Whether placed under intense poolside sunlight or subjected to heavy downpours, it retains its elasticity and rich color without fading or becoming brittle—lasting several times longer than natural materials!

Q2. Is the plastic wicker material safe and non-toxic? Does it comply with strict EU and US environmental regulations?

A: Absolutely, this is our absolute baseline for quality. WOODEVER rejects cheap regrind or recycled plastics; our synthetic wicker is extruded from 100% virgin, eco-friendly, non-toxic resins. No heavy metals or hazardous chemicals are added during production. Our materials fully comply with EU REACH regulations and the United States' stringent California Proposition 65 (CA65) standards. Whether woven into outdoor loungers, patio chairs, or indoor storage bins, it is 100% safe for humans and pets, and the material itself is fully recyclable.

Q3. We want a specific color, custom weaving pattern (e.g., flat rattan, round rattan, double-weave), or custom dimensions. Can WOODEVER fulfill this?

A: Definitely, that is exactly where our core strength lies! Backed by our robust OEM / ODM customization capabilities at our factories in Vietnam and across multiple sites, we can fulfill your vision. Whether your brand requires sophisticated slate grey, Nordic light oak tone, or unique dual-color gradient weaves; or if you need to tweak sizes and integrate steel frame reinforcements—we have you covered. Our in-house material R&D and master artisans can tailor a unique line that sets your brand apart in the market.

Q4. How should we maintain and clean synthetic wicker furniture or storage baskets? Is the upkeep costly?

A: The maintenance cost is practically zero, making it ideal for busy modern lifestyles or high-traffic commercial spaces like hotels and restaurants! Thanks to the superb waterproof and stain-resistant nature of our plastic wicker, you can simply hose it down with fresh water or wipe it gently with a cloth dipped in mild soapy water. Unlike natural rattan, it requires no routine oiling or specialized preservation. Let it air-dry in a ventilated space, and it returns to pristine condition within minutes.

Q5. We are looking for bulk wholesale sourcing. What is your factory capacity and Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

A: As a professional, large-scale export manufacturer, WOODEVER focuses on high-volume production to deliver optimal price advantages. The standard MOQ for our plastic wicker collection typically ranges from 500 to 1,000 pieces, depending on the specific item and customization complexity. With a resilient raw material supply chain and highly efficient manual and automated weaving production lines, we ensure stable quality and competitive pricing for bulk orders, guaranteed with on-time delivery.
