Ok, maybe I missed the memo, but since when is wicker furniture (both indoor and outdoor) ever a good idea?? Various retailers, especially Pier 1, have been featuring wicker and similarly constructed chairs, tables, nightstands, dressers, armoires, etc. for the last 5 months. Again, I ask WHY? Wicker represents three things to me: A) cheap, 2) ugly, and 3) wood shouldn't be able to be permeated by wind. Ick!
