Choosing between aluminium and rattan garden furniture depends on personal taste and practical factors. Aluminium offers exceptional durability, weather resistance, and a wide range of style options, with minimal maintenance. Rattan has a natural look, is comfortable, but needs more care to maintain its appearance. Both have environmental considerations; aluminium is recyclable, while rattan is biodegradable but can have sourcing impacts. Your decision should align with your preferences, budget, and willingness to upkeep.
