Antibes Wood Framed Patio Occasional Chair

Details at a Glance

Plantation teak naturally resists moisture, insects and UV damage without chemical treatments, and its tight grain holds up through years of sun exposure. The Antibes Wood Framed Patio Occasional Chair combines that teak frame with a hand-woven poly hyacinth backrest, creating an outdoor accent chair that handles weather while adding texture to a patio or poolside, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 28 inches wide, it fits balconies and covered patios where you need durable seating that won't rot or rust.

How Well Does Plantation Teak Hold Up Outdoors Year-Round?

Teak's natural oils protect the wood from moisture penetration and insect damage, and the tight grain prevents cracking even through freeze-thaw cycles. Over months of sun exposure, the brown wood intentionally weathers to a silver-gray patina -- that's a protective layer, not deterioration, and it's why teak often lasts 25 to 50 years outdoors. The poly hyacinth backrest resists UV fade and won't mildew like natural wicker, so both materials on this chair are engineered for long outdoor service. You're not fighting the weather; you're working with materials that expect it.

Do You Have to Bring This Inside for Winter?

No -- teak's structure holds through winter cold and the poly hyacinth backrest won't crack in freezing temps. The included cushion should come inside or go into a storage bin, because teak's natural oils can transfer to fabric and moisture accelerates that staining. Clean the wood frame with a mild bleach solution if you see mildew after a wet season, but the chair itself can stay on a covered patio or deck year-round without damage. If you prefer the original brown tone over the silver patina, you can apply teak oil periodically, but it's optional -- the wood doesn't need it to survive.

Where Does This Chair Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The compact 28-inch width fits balconies and smaller covered patios where you want flexible seating that doesn't take over the space. Pair it with other pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection for a conversation zone, or use it as a standalone reading chair next to a side table in a garden nook. The natural wood tones coordinate with greenery and neutral palettes, and the contoured arms make it comfortable for longer sits than a typical outdoor dining chair. It complements poolside lounging areas and works well as an extension of indoor living room furniture into an outdoor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this chair stay outside all year?

Yes, the plantation teak frame and poly hyacinth backrest handle year-round weather, but bring the cushion inside to prevent oil staining and moisture damage to the fabric.

Will the wood fade or crack in direct sun?

Teak naturally develops a silver-gray patina in full sun over time -- that's an intentional weathering process that protects the wood, not damaging fade or cracking.

Is teak suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes, teak's natural oils and tight grain resist salt-air corrosion, making it one of the best woods for coastal patios and beachfront decks.

How do I clean the frame if it gets dirty?

Wipe the teak and poly hyacinth with a mild bleach solution if you see mildew or staining after wet weather; both materials tolerate that cleaning without damage.

Does the woven backrest hold up like the wood frame?

The poly hyacinth is synthetic, so it resists UV fade and moisture without rotting the way natural wicker would, giving it similar durability to the teak frame.

Is assembly required, and does white-glove delivery come with the chair?

Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove delivery, in-room placement and assembly are optional paid services available upon request for an additional fee.
