Buying Guide

For a long time, seagrass was considered nothing more than a fast growing weed that posed a hindrance to marine vessels and had taken over vast stretches of waterways. That’s until designers realized the application of these hard, shiny and smooth reeds in making furniture.

Today, seagrass furniture is an exotic addition to any home or commercial setup. The durability of the reed, the hay-like smell of the dried grass and the multitude of finishes that it is available in, make it a fantastic material for manufacturing chairs in particular.

However, seagrass chairs may not be suited for certain settings. Also, there are a bunch of factors that one needs to be aware of before buying these types of furniture. Here’s a brief guide.

Seagrass is a plant that grows in shallow waters near coastlands. When it dries after being woven, it attains a brown, hard finish that is very similar in appearance to synthetic rattan, which can be made of Polyethylene or Polypropylene.

Some manufacturers, use the term Seagrass to describe just about any type of wicker furniture. Natural seagrass will have a mild hay-like odor even when it is dried and sealed with lacquer. Also, the grass reeds will have slight color variations.

Rattan, on the other hand, can be made to resemble seagrass but will be perfectly finished without any variation in color or texture.

Natural seagrass tends to fade when exposed directly to sunlight. Also, even the slightest exposure to moisture can cause rot to set in. Hence, these are best suited for indoor use or in a covered patio. If you are looking for a chair for outdoor use, go for synthetic rattan instead.

Seagrass furniture can either be hand woven or machine woven. In fact, hand weaving seagrass and cane happens to be one of the biggest industries for skilled artisans in countries like Vietnam, Brazil, and parts of Africa.

Handwoven furniture has its own unique traits and is crafted with astute attention to detail. If you buy a set of four chairs, for example, none of them will be similar. There will always be minute imperfections which make them unique.

Mass produced seagrass chairs, on the other hand, might look more polished, but they lack the authenticity and flair of their handmade counterparts.

When it comes to seagrass chairs, the base frame material is as important as the quality of the grass and the weave.

  • Most manufacturers use solid wood for the frames.
  • Chairs imported from Asian countries typically have rubber wood frames
  • Locally made chairs can be made of oak, maple, cedar, cherry or pine.
  • MDF is rarely used due to the lack of stability and durability. But some cheaper varieties might be made of it. If unsure, speak to the manufacturer.
  • Metal frames match their wooden counterparts when it comes to stability. And they are cost effective too.

From side chairs, often sold in pairs to chaise lounges, dining chairs, barstools, armchairs, ottomans, sofas and recliners, you can find seagrass chairs for any place and purpose.

For regular cleaning of seagrass furniture, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, in a way that doesn't force dust under the weave. To remove accumulated dirt, use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment.
