Bal Harbor White Arm Chair

Details at a Glance

Powder-coated aluminum resists rust even in full sun and coastal salt spray, and the white finish on this chair is sealed to prevent oxidation season after season. The Zuo Modern Bal Harbor White Arm Chair, an outdoor accent chair measuring 29.1 in. W x 31.5 in. D x 33.9 in. H with a 280 lb capacity, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The 100% Olefin cushion fabric dries fast after rain and resists UV fade, and the cover unzips for washing.

How Well Does Powder-Coated Aluminum Hold Up Outdoors?

Powder-coated aluminum won't rust, corrode, or pit in humidity or salt air because the coating seals the metal and blocks oxidation. The frame stays lightweight at 31.2 lbs, so you can move it around the deck or patio easily, but it's engineered to support up to 280 lbs without flex. Sun exposure won't crack the finish the way it does with paint, and the white color reflects heat instead of absorbing it, so the frame stays cooler to the touch on hot afternoons.

Will the Cushion Fade or Hold Water After a Storm?

The 100% Olefin fabric is inherently fade-resistant -- the color is locked into the fiber during manufacturing, not dyed on top -- so it won't bleach out under direct UV. Olefin also repels water instead of soaking it up, which means the cushion dries quickly after rain and resists mildew. The cover is removable and machine-washable, so you can keep it clean without scrubbing the whole chair, and rubber feet protect your deck boards from scratches when you pull it across the surface.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The aluminum frame can stay outside year-round in most climates, but bringing the cushion inside or storing it in a deck box will extend its life and keep the fabric looking sharp. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice, stacking the chair under a covered porch or tipping it on its side prevents water from pooling. For covered patios in mild winters, it'll be fine as is -- just wipe the frame down with mild soap and warm water at the start of spring to clear off dust and pollen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The powder-coated aluminum frame can remain outdoors year-round, but store the cushion indoors or in a weatherproof deck box during freezing months to prevent ice damage.

Will the white finish fade in direct sun?

The powder-coated finish resists UV damage and won't fade or chalk the way painted surfaces do, even in full sun exposure.

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

Yes, powder-coated aluminum is rust-proof and won't corrode in salt air, making it a strong choice for beachfront patios and poolside decks.

How do I clean the cushion cover?

Unzip and remove the Olefin cover, then machine-wash it with mild detergent and air-dry before putting it back on the cushion.

What's the difference between aluminum and wicker for outdoor accent chairs?

Aluminum is lighter, rust-proof, and needs almost no maintenance, while all-weather wicker offers texture but requires occasional cleaning of crevices.

Does this ship fully assembled?

The chair ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA; assembly and in-room placement are available as optional paid services upon request.
