<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 425252, member: 8267"]I would think it is rattan rather than bamboo. Rattan is a long climbing palm/vine, which can be easily formed by bending. Bamboo is more rigid. I suppose there might be a combination of the two in the furniture - it looks like the pieces used on the seat and back might be split bamboo. If you post some closeups I might be able to confirm the materials. Any exposed ends, or split surfaces would be helpful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
