Gelo Olefin Fabric Outdoor Swivel Chair

Details at a Glance

Powder-coated aluminum won't rust when left on a covered patio through a humid summer, and 100% olefin fabric and polyethylene wicker both resist UV damage better than cotton or natural fibers. The Zuo Modern Gelo Outdoor Swivel Chair with 360-degree swivel is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The seat measures 23.6 inches wide, 20.1 inches deep, and 19.1 inches high -- deep enough for comfortable lounging.

How Well Do Olefin Fabric and Polyethylene Wicker Handle Full Sun?

Olefin is a synthetic fiber engineered to resist UV rays, so the upholstery on this chair won't fade the way cotton or untreated canvas will after a season in direct sun. The polyethylene wicker weave -- a resin designed to mimic natural rattan -- holds its color and flexibility through sun exposure and temperature swings. Powder-coated aluminum seals the frame from moisture and oxidation, so rust isn't a concern even in humid climates. These three materials work together to handle the weather conditions that wreck furniture made with untreated metal or natural fibers.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

The aluminum frame and synthetic wicker can tolerate rain and humidity year-round, but olefin fabric performs best when you bring cushions inside during winter or cover the chair when it's not in use. Polyethylene wicker won't crack in freezing temperatures the way natural rattan does. Clean the frame and weave with mild soap and warm water at the start and end of the season to remove pollen and salt residue. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice, storing the chair in a garage or shed prevents unnecessary wear on the swivel mechanism.

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

The 360-degree swivel makes this chair useful in conversation areas where you want to turn toward guests without dragging furniture across the deck. It fits on covered patios, next to pools, or in deck corners where you'd pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection. Two of these flanking a side table create a compact seating zone, or you can mix it with stackable options from our outdoor chairs selection for flexible entertaining setups. The white-and-brown finish layers well with teak or concrete tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the fabric and wicker fade in direct sunlight?

Olefin fabric and polyethylene wicker are both UV-resistant materials designed to minimize fading, though all outdoor fabrics show some wear after years of full-sun exposure.

Is powder-coated aluminum really rust-proof?

The powder coating seals the aluminum from moisture and oxidation, making rust highly unlikely even in humid or coastal conditions.

Can I leave this outside in a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- powder-coated aluminum and synthetic wicker tolerate salt air better than untreated metal or wood, though rinsing the frame periodically removes salt buildup.

How much does the chair weigh, and is it easy to move?

It weighs 38.5 pounds, so one person can shift it around a patio, but it's substantial enough that wind won't tip it over.

Does the swivel mechanism need maintenance?

The swivel base is built into the frame and doesn't require lubrication, but keeping it clean of dirt and debris helps it rotate smoothly over time.

Does this ship assembled, or do I need tools?

Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA, and assembly is required -- most buyers complete it with basic tools in under an hour.
