Wicker is a weaving process of a hard wooden fiber and not an actual material. Wicker is often made of plant origin for natural wicker furniture, whereas plastic fibers can also be used for synthetic wicker furniture. Wicker armories can be either natural or synthetic and can include various woven fibers such as cane from rattan stalks, reed, or bamboo for the natural style. Synthetic wicker armories can be composed of paper-wrapped high tensile wire, plastic, or resin.

Most people buy wicker armoires for their home because it is a beautiful addition to any décor and the construction holds durability and long term beauty. Wicker is an Americana, country-style, chic décor while the armoire was found in early houses that lacked a built-in close for storing clothing, so an armoire could be found in most bedrooms as a supplement.

While the term armoire traditionally relates to the tall cupboard for storing dishware, linens, or other such items, the word armoire is used interchangeably for entertainment stand to house a television or computer. Jewelry armoires are also popular but different from other types of armoire’s as they have a number of stacked drawers for storing jewelry and are not very large. Wicker varieties of entertainment armoires and jewelry armoires also exist but the traditional wicker armoire is still what people think of as that beautiful cupboard sitting in the bedroom.
