{"product_id":"drum-side-table-450mm-in-natural-rattan","title":"Drum Side Table 450mm in Natural Rattan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA woven drum, which is a side table, a stool and a plant stand depending on the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece here is woven by hand, which is not a marketing line but a description of the only way it can be done. Rattan cannot be machine woven around a curve, so a chair back is somebody sitting with a former and a bundle of soaked cane for most of a day. The consequence is that no two pieces are identical, that the binding at the joints varies slightly, and that a weave that is perfectly regular is usually a sign of extruded plastic rather than good workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: see the product name for the diameter or the length, 450mm high for a coffee table and 550mm for a side table\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeat or working height: 450mm coffee table height, 550mm side table height, 780mm console height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: steam bent rattan over a hardwood core at the legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: hand woven base, open lattice, which is what lets the light through\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: natural rattan pole and peel, steam bent over a former and bound at every joint, finished in a clear matt lacquer that lets the cane keep its own colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad rating: 30kg on the top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor or outdoor: Indoors, or a covered veranda or conservatory that stays dry.

Two or three times a year wipe it over with a barely damp cloth and let it dry away from a radiator. Rattan does not like being dry any more than it likes being wet, so a piece that lives next to a radiator or in a room with the heating on all winter will benefit from a light mist of water once a month, which sounds like an old wives' tale and is the single most useful thing anyone will tell you about it. If a strand lifts, do not pull it. Damp it, press it back and hold it with masking tape overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the piece people mean by coastal: pale, woven and light enough to move with one hand. It sits happily against white or off white walls and against the greens and warm neutrals that have replaced grey in most houses. In a room with a lot of hard surfaces it does the job that a rug does, which is to take the edge off the echo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rattan Republic","offers":[{"title":"As woven, clear matt lacquer","offer_id":58674781389181,"sku":"RRP-TBL-007-CL","price":164.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Whitewashed","offer_id":58674781421949,"sku":"RRP-TBL-007-WW","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black stained","offer_id":58674781454717,"sku":"RRP-TBL-007-BK","price":169.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/1398\/4893\/files\/Drum_Side_Table_450mm_in_Natural_Rattan.jpg?v=1789052081","url":"https:\/\/rattanrepublic.com\/products\/drum-side-table-450mm-in-natural-rattan","provider":"Rattan Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
