<p>Yes, wicker can last a long time if you put it away, don’t expose it to so many elements (covered porch?) - but if the OP or others leaves it out to the elements most of the year, it can be victim to fraying, drying out, unraveling (I just salvaged a wicker piece that was “unwrapping” on the legs.</p>
<p>But I do love wicker - inside and out!</p>
