Lucia Performance Fabric Outdoor Accent Chair

Details at a Glance

This accent chair pairs a solid teak frame with UV-resistant synthetic wicker and an Olefin cushion that repels moisture and resists fading in full sun. The Lucia Performance Fabric Outdoor Accent Chair by Essentials For Living is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Well Does This Teak-and-Wicker Chair Handle Sun, Rain and Salt Air?

Solid teak resists rot, insects and moisture naturally, and the multi-step hand-applied polyurethane finish shields the wood from UV fade and water intrusion. The woven synthetic wicker is a UV-stabilized polyethylene that won't crack or discolor in direct sun, and aluminum reinforcement at key joints eliminates rust even in coastal humidity. The 100% Olefin cushion fabric is engineered to resist UV degradation and repel moisture, so it stays bright and dries quickly after a storm -- no canvas-style sagging or mildew bloom.

Do You Have to Bring the Cushion Inside for Winter?

The frame and wicker can stay outside year-round -- teak and synthetic wicker handle freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. The removable cushion attaches with Velcro straps, so you can pull it off and store it indoors during heavy rain, snow or prolonged cold to extend the foam core's life and keep the fabric looking new season after season. Wipe down the wicker with mild soap and a soft brush after wet weather, rinse with a garden hose, and let it air-dry.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 28-inch width fits balconies, smaller covered porches, or corners of a larger patio where you want a dedicated reading spot. Pair it with a matching lounge chair from the outdoor accent chairs collection or flank a side table for a conversation set alongside outdoor chairs. The off-white wicker and washed teak finish layer well with neutral cushions, natural-fiber rugs, and other pieces in your outdoor dining chairs layout -- whether you're building a covered lounge or a poolside seating area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The teak frame and synthetic wicker can remain outdoors through winter -- both resist freeze-thaw and moisture. Remove and store the cushion indoors during extreme cold or prolonged wet weather to protect the foam core.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The hand-applied polyurethane teak finish, UV-stabilized wicker, and Olefin cushion fabric are all engineered to resist UV degradation and fading. Expect years of color retention even in full-sun exposure.

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

Yes -- aluminum reinforcement at joints eliminates rust, teak naturally resists salt corrosion, and synthetic wicker won't degrade in humid air. Rinse the frame and wicker periodically to prevent salt buildup.

How do I clean the wicker?

Spray with a garden hose, scrub with mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and air-dry. Avoid pressure washers, which can fray the woven strands.

What does all-weather wicker mean?

All-weather wicker is a UV-stabilized polyethylene or resin fiber woven over a frame, designed to resist fading, cracking and moisture damage in outdoor conditions.

Is assembly included in the free shipping?

Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove setup and assembly services are available upon request for an additional fee.
