Pallet vs Rattan Furniture – Which is Best?

While Melbourne has been locked down, there’s never been a better time to plan for the future to help encourage customers back to your venue. This includes looking at new outdoor furniture for when the lockdown is lifted, and customers can venture outdoors once more. We take a look at pallet vs rattan furniture which, typically, are two popular types of outdoor furniture for bars and cafes. 

It’s a given that any type of outdoor furniture needs to be strong and durable if it’s to withstand the harsh Australian climate and both pallet and rattan furniture fit these criteria.

So let’s take a look at the pros and cons of these two popular styles of outdoor furniture.

Pallet vs Rattan Furniture – Pros and Cons 

Durable rattan furniture

Nylon rattan and wicker furniture are practical and stylish choices for your bar or cafe’s outdoor dining space and stand the test of time in terms of durability and fashion. Our Parisian chairs feature a strong welded aluminium frame with a flat braided nylon wicker seat and back. The chair also has elastic under the seat for added strength.

These stunning chairs arrive ready assembled and can also be stacked up to 10 high for convenient storage in bad weather or overnight security. Their Parisian styling also works well in modern and traditional venues, cities, and suburbs, making them a versatile choice.

Weatherproof pallet furniture

Upcycling pallets to make furniture is eco-friendly and trendy and creates some unique outdoor bar or cafe furniture. If you’re good at DIY this could be a cost-effective way for you to furnish a new terrace.

People often combine pallet furniture with more traditional furniture choices. For example, our UV treated and water resistant Isotop table in Maple looks great with pallet furniture due to its stylish maple top and polished aluminium base. A laminated top and adjustable feet make it even more practical.

So rather than deciding which is best – pallet vs rattan furniture – combining styles can give you the perfect solution. That said, while pallet furniture looks good, it may be more difficult to source if you don’t have the skills to make it yourself. In addition, it has less versatility when it comes to storing it and moving it around.
