Cane furniture is very popular at the moment as many people come to realise that cane has many benefits that wooden furniture does not. Cane furniture has been around for centuries and has become more and more sophisticated over the years. Cane furniture has never looked so good and this is one reason why it now competes so well against wood.
Another reason why cane furniture is a great choice is that it is a relatively natural product. The process of turning the raw material into a beautiful piece of furniture is quite a simple and organic one. Cane furniture is very green and few harmful chemicals are released; with even less going into the product. Whereas, wooden furniture often contains nasty chemicals such as formaldehyde which is unhealthy.
Cane furniture appeals to many because each piece is quite unique and simply designed. The cane furniture here at 1st For Cane has been expertly designed and manufactured and has much more personality than the average piece of wooden furniture. Using cane in the home can help to add personality and a unique sense of style.
If you are concerned about the environment, cane furniture is a good choice. Cane furniture is made from sustainable resources, whereas much of the wooden furniture available is not. Many trees and rainforests are being harvested to make wooden furniture and this has a negative impact on everything from the ozone to wildlife. Cane is the ethical choice and just another reason why cane is so popular at present.

Cane furniture is most commonly found in conservatories, sun rooms and dining rooms. It is, of course, perfect for these rooms as it is elegant, strong, natural and is also an insulator. It is however, a shame that cane furniture is not used more widely in the home as it can make a great addition to any room it is placed in.
Cane furniture lends itself to outdoor use as it is very durable. It stands up well to wind, rain and sunlight, so long as it has been treated first, and it blends in with the outdoor scenery well. Cane tables and chairs make great seating areas for summer get togethers and make the garden look wonderful.
The cane furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture, is perfect for use in the conservatory or dining room. In the conservatory, cane is great for keeping you comfortable in the heat as it does not get uncomfortably hot, as leather would, in a hot room. Cane also works well in the dining room and helps to create an elegant space in which to dine with friends and family.
In the living room, a well placed cane chair or table can completely transform your décor. Cane can make bland and cold rooms seem more homely and add a touch of comfort to your room.
In the bathroom, cane furniture can help to create a calming and natural environment in which to relax and rejuvenate after a hard day.

The conservatory is usually the room closest to the garden and has beautiful views of the outdoor green space. When decorating your conservatory, it is always a good idea to bear this in mind and try to create a room which is in harmony with its outdoor surroundings and nature as a whole. The natural look is very popular at the moment as more people look to the natural world for inspiration. Green living is also a big trend at the moment and cane furniture is probably one of the greenest furniture options around at the moment.
Cane furniture hails from Asia and has a rich and exotic history. The manufacturing of cane has a low impact on the environment and the end product is a stunning piece of furniture which bears close resemblance to the natural raw materials used to make it.
Unlike many other types of furniture, the cane furniture here at 1st-For Cane Furniture, is not played around with too much and it is still clear where its roots lie. Most cane furniture is simply varnished to give it a nice sheen and then sold, sometimes with the addition of beautifully upholstered cushions which add comfort and elegant design to the furniture. Cane furniture works with nature not against it and compliments the outdoors without overpowering the natural beauty which is present in trees and flowers. Cane is very easy on the eye and is great for relaxing on a hot summer’s day.

Cane furniture has been a main stay in conservatory and patio furniture for many years now. It has been a popular choice due to its sturdy manufacture, natural look and lightweight properties. It is also very pretty and gives off a peaceful vibe. In 2010, cane furniture is set to get even bigger and no longer will its use be restricted to the sun room or garden areas; it is set to invade the rest of the home, too.
Looking at the furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture, it is easy to see why more and more people are opting to use cane in their homes. Cane comes in many different forms, many of which would be impossible to recreate with other materials, and it adds somewhat of a natural, calm feel to any room it is placed in. Although cane is light and can appear to be flimsy, it is actually a very strong material which will easily withstand any knocks and scrapes which may occur. Over the years the upholstery on cane furniture has improved immensely and there are many modern designs available rather than just the traditional and somewhat outdated designs which spring to mind when most of us think of cane furniture.
Another factor that cane furniture has in its favour is the fact that it is very low maintenance and does not get dirty easily. Simply wiping your cane furniture with a cloth is enough to keep it clean and shiny.

It is a well known fact that most of the furniture that is produced today has a detrimental effect on the environment. Most furniture is made from wood which comes from unsustainable sources. This is bad for wildlife, the environment and, quite often, the people in the areas it is sourced from. Cane furniture, on the other hand, is made from very sustainable sources in the South East of Asia.
Cane grows very quickly and often grows in areas which are not suitable for growing other types of crops, therefore as a result, it is not taking up space which could be used to grow valuable food sources. When cane is cut down to make furniture, more is usually replanted and, as it grows at a rate of around 6 metres a year, there is always a plentiful supply available for use in cane furniture, like the furniture here at 1st For Cane Furniture.
Another interesting thing about cane and rattan is that it can only grow successfully in areas where there are already trees. This means that anyone who wishes to grow cane will be discouraged from cutting down other trees, thus conserving vital resources for wildlife.
The processes used to transform the raw cane into beautiful pieces of cane furniture, also have very little impact on the environment and produce little in the way of carbon dioxide or other polluting gases which are causing such a problem to the Earth’s atmosphere, making cane furniture a very ethical choice.

The most obvious way of keeping your cane in mint condition is to clean it on a regular basis. Cleaning cane could not be simpler; all it takes is a damp cloth and a little elbow grease to remove dust and grime, and you are basically done. You may also use a little furniture polish on your cane furniture if you so desire.
One of the great things about our furniture ranges here at 1st For Cane Furniture is that they are very easy to look after. Cane furniture has a reputation for being low maintenance and long lasting and provides a great choice for anyone who would rather be out having fun or relaxing with a cuppa rather than doing the housework. If properly cared for, cane furniture will outlast many of your other furniture pieces and with regular cleaning and maintainence, it will still be looking a s good as new in 15 years time.
If your cane furniture has cushions, there are a couple of things you can do to keep them looking good for longer. Firstly, you should turn cushions regularly and try to distribute weight as evenly as possible when sitting on them and, secondly, you should regularly ‘plump’ the cushions to ensure they stay comfy.
As with most types of furniture, cane furniture can start to fade over time. To prevent fading you should keep your cane out of direct sunlight when possible by keeping it in the shade if at all possible. You should also try to avoid leaving your furniture in extreme heat for prolonged periods of time as this can cause problems with cushion fabric.
