    I have a mix we have wicker chairs but the table is an aluminum base with a wooden top. I know that doesnt like it would look good but put together it looks amazing. If I knew how to post a photo I would. When we set out to buy a new outdoor table I had my heart set on wicker but DH didn't like it so it took a lot to convince him and we went to every outdoor shop we could find looking. I found the prices varied dramatically from store to store. We ended up buying ours from Seagals and it was 1100 for an 8 seater. The pros and cons we found were

    Pros- wicker is easy to clean, it looks amazing and I find it very comfortable.

    Cons- spiders love to make nests under wicker furniture but as per the pro it is easy to clean
    Glass table tops can scratch so if you get a glass table top make sure you go to Clark Rubber ( or a similar place) and you can get plastic contact to go over the top to protect it. I do get a bit concerned when my nieces are over as they love to climb and I worry that they will break it but so far so good
