Hudu Olefin Fabric Outdoor Accent Chair

Details at a Glance

Powder-coated aluminum and 100% olefin fabric handle the full outdoor cycle -- UV, rain, humidity -- without rust or rot. The Zuo Modern Hudu Olefin Fabric Outdoor Accent Chair in beige is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its 37-inch width and low 15.7-inch seat height deliver lounge-level comfort on patios and poolside decks where materials matter more than trends.

How Well Does Olefin Fabric Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

Olefin is a synthetic fiber engineered to resist moisture absorption, so it won't mildew or hold water the way cotton or polyester can. It's inherently UV-resistant -- the color goes all the way through each fiber, which means fading takes years instead of a season even in direct sun. You'll see some wear over time if the chair lives uncovered year-round, but olefin holds its tone longer than most outdoor textiles. The powder-coated aluminum frame won't corrode in humidity or salt air, and the finish resists scratches better than painted metal.

Do You Have to Bring This Chair Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, but covering it or storing it in a shed will keep the fabric cleaner and extend the life of the finish. Olefin won't absorb water, so freeze-thaw cycles won't crack the material the way they can with natural fibers. The aluminum frame is unaffected by cold and won't rust if snow piles on it. If the chair stays out all winter, hose it down in spring and wipe the frame with soapy water to clear any accumulated dirt or tree sap.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The low seat and 37-inch width make this chair a natural fit for covered patios and poolside conversation areas where you want people to settle in for more than a few minutes. The neutral beige tone pairs easily with pieces in the outdoor accent chairs collection or with teak and wicker you already own. Use multiples around a fire pit, or pair it with a side table and place it in a corner of the deck where the woven back adds texture without blocking sightlines. It also works on open decks if you're building out seating from the outdoor chairs range and want a lounge-style profile instead of upright dining height.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- the olefin fabric and powder-coated aluminum frame are built for year-round exposure, though covering it or storing it in winter will keep the fabric cleaner and protect the finish from heavy snow or ice.

Will the beige fabric fade in direct sun?

Olefin is UV-resistant and the color runs through each fiber, so fading is slow even in unshaded locations. You'll see some wear after years of continuous sun, but it holds tone far longer than cotton or untreated polyester.

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

Yes -- powder-coated aluminum doesn't corrode in salt air the way bare steel or untreated metal does, and olefin fabric resists the moisture and mildew that come with coastal climates.

How do you clean the woven back and seat?

Wipe the frame and fabric with a mix of mild dish soap and warm water, rinse with a hose, and let it air dry. Avoid pressure washers -- they can force water into crevices and wear the finish faster.

Does this chair ship fully assembled?

No, assembly is required. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; in-room placement and assembly are optional paid services available upon request.

What's the difference between olefin and all-weather wicker?

Olefin is a woven synthetic fabric that resists moisture and UV, while all-weather wicker is a resin material molded to look like natural wicker. Both are durable, but olefin is softer to the touch and less prone to cracking than resin wicker over time.
