Are rattan outdoor ottomans with hidden storage compartments waterproof?

Rattan outdoor ottomans with hidden storage compartments are a stylish and functional addition to any patio or garden. However, their waterproof capabilities depend on the material and treatment. Natural rattan is not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to rain or moisture. To enhance durability, many manufacturers use synthetic rattan (PE rattan) or apply waterproof coatings. For optimal protection, look for ottomans labeled as weather-resistant or UV-treated, and consider using covers during harsh weather. Regular maintenance, such as wiping down surfaces and storing indoors during extreme conditions, will help extend their lifespan. Always check product specifications to ensure your ottoman is suitable for outdoor use.
