Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland. It's also the third largest in the whole of the U.K. It houses a merchant district, financial district, thriving culture and arts area, and nearly six hundred thousand residents. This city has been designated as a European City of Culture, for its variety of museums and support of the visual, musical, and performing arts.

Though Glasgow has been around since the pre-medieval era, the majority of the city dates from the modern age. Compared to other cities in Europe, and even other cities in Scotland, not much of old Glasgow is still standing. The city does have an impressive array of buildings dating from the Victorian era onward, many of which have been excellently preserved. Though most of the city is relatively modern, the variations in architectural style over the nineteenth century means that the city still has an extremely diverse aesthetic when it comes to building and interior design. The Glasgow Science Center is a thoroughly modern, shiny, metal and glass building. On the other hand, the University of Glasgow (founded in 1451 and considered one of Scotland's ancient universities) is a beautiful, old building.

Like Glasgow's carefully preserved Victorian buildings, rattan garden furniture never goes out of style. Rattan has been used to produce beautiful, durable furniture for at least the last century. Though furniture styles have changed, one thing hasn't- rattan's versatility, durability, and good looks. As a material, rattan is somewhat like a cross between bamboo and wood. It's solid, like wood, but can be easily steamed, bent, and woven like bamboo. Rattan has been used to create elaborate woven pieces, like rocking chairs, and minimalist pieces, like bars and tables.

Rattan is visually similar to bamboo, to the point where it can be hard for inexperienced decorators to tell them apart. One key difference between the two is that while bamboo canes are hollow, rattan canes are solid all the way through. This means that they can support more weight than bamboo can, but can still be used for the same applications. Rattan can also hold a paint, stain, or glaze similarly to wood, which makes rattan garden furniture a viable alternative to all-wood pieces (especially those made from endangered tropical woods or old growth trees).
