WE learned the hard way: if you have wicker furniture, you need to invest in some good-quality wicker furniture cushions. Why? Well, first of all, regular cushions may be made of fabrics that will snag and get caught on the small woven surfaces of the wicker reeds. Wicker furniture cushions are made of special fabrics that will not get snagged. Secondly, if you will be using the furniture outside, your wicker furniture cushions will have string tie-downs at the corners, so that the cushion can be physically tied to the furniture so that it will not blow away.
