Montecito Sunbrella Outdoor Club Chair

Details at a Glance

The Montecito club chair uses virgin PE resin wicker over a fully welded aluminum frame -- neither material will rust, rot, or crack through full seasons of sun and rain. The Sunset West Montecito club chair, upholstered in Sunbrella Grade A fabric with six colorway options, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 35 inches wide and 33 inches tall with an 18-inch seat, this is a deep lounge chair built for long afternoons on the deck.

How Well Do Powder-Coated Aluminum and Resin Wicker Hold Up Outdoors?

The frame is fully welded aluminum with a powder-coat finish, so it won't rust even in salt air. The wicker is virgin PE resin, which means it's extruded from high-density polyethylene -- no natural fibers to rot, no mildew risk, no splintering. The Cognac finish is a multi-toned weave; the color is molded into the resin, not painted on, so it resists UV fade far better than surface-dyed material. You'll see dirt before you see any weathering, and a quick hose-down brings it back. Both materials meet commercial-grade standards for hospitality projects, which tells you how much abuse they're engineered to take.

Do You Have to Bring the Cushions Inside Every Night?

You don't have to, but you'll extend their life if you do. The cushions are wrapped in Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic, which resists fading, mildew, and most stains, but high-resiliency foam still absorbs moisture if left out through heavy rain. Bring them in during storms or cover the chair when it's not in use. For winter storage, clean the wicker to remove any dirt buildup, then either cover the frame or move it under a roof -- the aluminum and resin will survive a freeze, but UV and water-repellent treatments help if the chair stays fully exposed year-round.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 18-inch seat height pairs well with standard side tables and fire pits, so it fits naturally into conversation groupings. Non-marking glides protect wood decking and tile from scuffs. If you're building a full lounge setup, pair it with other pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection or mix it with coordinating outdoor chairs for a cohesive look on covered porches or open patios. The Cognac finish is neutral enough to work with both modern and traditional furniture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame and wicker can, but you should bring the cushions in during heavy rain or winter. Cover the chair or store it under a roof if your climate has harsh freeze-thaw cycles.

Will the Cognac wicker fade in direct sun?

The color is molded into the virgin PE resin, not surface-painted, so it resists UV fade far better than natural wicker or spray-finished materials. You'll see dirt before you see color loss.

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

Yes. Powder-coated aluminum and PE resin both resist corrosion in salt air. Rinse the frame occasionally to prevent salt buildup, but neither material will rust.

What does all-weather wicker mean?

It's high-density polyethylene resin extruded to look like natural rattan. It won't crack, splinter, or absorb moisture the way real wicker does, and it's engineered to handle sun, rain, and temperature swings.

Are Sunbrella cushions worth the price?

Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic keeps its color and texture for years with minimal care, resisting fade, mildew, and stains far better than standard outdoor fabrics. If you leave cushions out often, the durability pays off.

Yes. We ship free to the continental USA with no minimum order. Standard delivery is curbside; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
