An accent chair is the piece you move most: pulled up to the fire table, angled toward the view, dragged into the shade. So the frame matters more than the fabric. Most of the chairs here sit on powder-coated aluminum from Telescope Casual and Sunset West, which won't rust, won't rot and weighs little enough to carry with one hand. Seats are sling that dries in minutes, Sunbrella cushions that shrug off fading and mildew, or solid teak from HiTeak that lives outside for decades.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Sling or cushion for full sun?
- Sling. It doesn't hold water, stays cooler than a cushion and needs no storage. Pick cushions for a shaded porch or for long evenings where you want to sink in; Sunbrella covers take rain and dry through, but a winter indoors extends their life.
- Will these rust near the coast?
- Aluminum doesn't rust, and the powder-coat finish is what keeps salt air off the metal underneath. Rinse it a few times a season. Steel-framed chairs are the ones to keep under cover.
- Can I leave them out all winter?
- The frames, yes. Cushions come in, or go under a fitted cover. Telescope Casual and Castelle pieces have fitted covers in the furniture covers collection.
- What seat height matches my sofa?
- Most outdoor lounge seats sit 16 to 19 inches off the deck; match within an inch or two and the group reads as one set. The dimensions are on every product page.
- How long until it arrives?
- Telescope Casual and Castelle build to order in roughly 6 to 8 weeks, Sunset West in 4 to 6; stock pieces ship sooner. Every order ships free curbside to the continental US; setup is an optional paid service.
