Furniture for the poor?

Cots, baskets, carriages, dishes, and boxes were made from vines, reeds, and tree roots.
Rattan, willow, reed and seaweed
Nowadays, the most commonly used weaving material israttan, reed, willow and seaweed. In Asia, the most common material is rattan, which is made from the fibers of the rattan tree (a type of palm tree). This material is extremely durable, the length of the fiber from one palm tree can be 250 m. Rattan perfectly withstands changes in humidity and temperature. Therefore, furniture made from it is literally outdoor. In fact, it is not afraid of not only rain and heat, but also frost and slush. Willow vine. This is the most popular weaving material in our country. Baskets, cradles, benches, chests, chairs were traditionally woven from willow vine. Willow, of course, is inferior in aesthetic properties to rattan, but it is much cheaper and more accessible. Reed and seaweed are not used so often, so we will allow ourselves to omit their detailed description.
