About Wicker Place

Wicker Place is a Minneapolis, Minnesota shop that combines furniture retail with reupholstery services, with a focus on wicker and natural material pieces. Minneapolis has a strong design culture, and residents in neighborhoods like Uptown, Linden Hills, and Northeast regularly invest in quality furniture that lasts. A specialty shop focused on wicker fills a gap that most general furniture stores and upholsterers don't cover well. The ability to shop for new pieces and restore existing ones in the same location saves time and makes it easier to build a cohesive look across a room or patio.

Services & Process

Wicker Place handles furniture sales alongside reupholstery, with particular expertise in wicker and rattan construction. Reupholstery services include replacing worn cushion covers, swapping out compressed foam, and reweaving or repairing sections of wicker framing that have loosened or broken. Fabric selection focuses on materials appropriate for wicker furniture, which often moves between indoor and outdoor settings and needs fabrics that resist fading and moisture. Customers can work with staff to find colors and textures that hold up through Minnesota summers while still looking good indoors in winter.

Service Area

Wicker Place is based in Minneapolis and draws customers from across Hennepin County, including St. Louis Park, Edina, and Golden Valley. Given its specialty focus, customers also come in from further out in the metro when they can't find wicker-specific expertise closer to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wicker furniture be used indoors and outdoors in Minneapolis?
Yes, but the fabric and finish matter. Natural wicker does best indoors or in covered outdoor spaces, while synthetic wicker handles weather better. When choosing reupholstery fabric, opt for something rated for both UV and moisture if the piece moves between settings.
How do I clean wicker furniture before bringing it in for reupholstery?
A light vacuuming and wipe-down with a damp cloth is usually enough. You don't need to do much prep work since the shop will inspect and clean the frame as part of the restoration process.
Do you repair broken wicker weaving as well as reupholster cushions?
Some wicker shops offer frame repair or reweaving in addition to cushion work. It's worth asking specifically, since not every upholsterer handles structural wicker repair, but a specialty shop is your best bet for finding someone who does.
What's the price difference between buying new wicker furniture and restoring old pieces?
Quality new wicker furniture can run several hundred to several thousand dollars, while reupholstering cushions on a solid existing piece often costs considerably less. If the frame is in good shape, restoration is usually the better value.
How long do new wicker cushions typically last?
With quality foam and a durable outdoor fabric, wicker cushions can last 5 to 10 years or longer with proper care. Keeping them out of standing water and storing them indoors during Minnesota winters extends their life significantly.
Can I choose a custom fabric for my wicker cushions?
Yes, most upholstery shops let you choose from a range of fabrics or even supply your own. Specialty outdoor and wicker fabrics come in a wide range of colors and patterns, so finding something that fits your style isn't difficult.
