Versatility, fine quality and comfort. There are the three essential elements upon which Ficks Reed has built its reputation as a manufacturer of exceptional rattan and wicker furniture. Of course, it helps that the company has been in the furniture-making business for more than 113 years. Experience, after all, helps a talent soar.

And that’s exactly what the artisans at Ficks Reed have done. They’ve taken furniture from exotic places and used it as inspiration to create an entire selection of new classics: traditional designs with a contemporary twist. It’s a marriage of fashion and function, with a deep bow to time-honored styles.

Among its vast selection, Ficks Reed features chairs, sofas and loveseats, dining tables and chairs, occasional pieces and a growing collection of bedroom furniture. The name of the game here is versatility. Its dining table and chair collection, for example, boasts several different lines -- some are ideal for a casual environment, while others figure beautifully into a formal setting. This ever-widening range of choices pays homage to the rising trend of eclectic home décor and reflects the consumer’s increasingly passionate affair with casual elegance.
