We recently received this reader request: "Dear ATLA, I've always been a huge fan of natural fiber and woven furniture. Rattan bistro chairs, seagrass...anything woven and with a natural texture. Unfortunately, my husband doesn't share my natural affinity for the more traditional woven and rattan furnishings, but said he'd be open to pieces that look more modern and less Gilligan's Island in appearance. Could you give us a few options to choose from that could sway us to a compromise? Thanks, Camille."

Camille, below we've gathered several high and low priced modern options that buck the traditional appearance of natural fiber woven seating that you and your husband may like (maybe even Mary Ann and Ginger too)...
