The Frame Supporting the Wicker is also Important.

Thos. Baker frames are crafted from hand welded steel for strength and rigidity

Reinforced with heavy gauge aluminum to combat the elements

Pre-washed aluminum drastically improving the final finish quality

Finished with a superior powder coating with 360 degree welds

Wicker attached with stainless steel staples


Storage for Northern/Seasonal Locations

Wicker can become dry and brittle, there is no better way to prevent this than to store pieces under shelter

If shelter is not an option, invest in covers to protect against the elements and keep pieces clean

Cover only clean & dry pieces
