Calais Teak Framed Patio Dining Chair

Details at a Glance

The teak frame resists moisture, insects and decay because the wood's natural oil and silica content blocks rot without any chemical treatment. The poly hyacinth woven webbing on the seat and back breathes, flexes for comfort, and drains water immediately after rain. This Calais teak-framed dining armchair stands 29 in. tall with an 18 in. seat height, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Well Does Plantation Teak Hold Up Outdoors?

It's the natural oil and silica inside plantation-grown teak that make it resist moisture, insects, and rot -- you don't need coatings or sealants. The wood's density stops warping even in full sun and rain, and the visible grain patterns remain clear as the surface weathers. Over time teak develops a silver-gray patina; many owners prefer that look to the original light-brown finish, and it doesn't signal weakness. This frame will outlast composite or softwood alternatives by decades when left outside year-round.

Does Teak Need to Be Oiled?

You don't need to oil teak -- its internal oils already protect it. If you want to slow the natural shift from brown to silver-gray, a teak sealer applied every few months can delay the patina, but the wood remains structurally sound either way. To clean the frame and the poly hyacinth webbing, use a mild bleach solution and rinse thoroughly; the woven seat sheds dirt and dries fast because water drains straight through.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio?

The 18 in. seat height pairs with standard dining tables, so this chair fits covered patios, poolside dining areas, and courtyard restaurant setups where you want natural materials. The integrated armrests at 26 in. help guests stand up easily, which matters for longer meals. Pair it with more pieces from the outdoor dining chairs collection, or mix it with other seating in the outdoor chairs range for a coordinated look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this chair stay outside all year?

Yes -- teak's natural oils and the poly hyacinth webbing both resist moisture and UV without covers. In harsh winter climates, a breathable cover prevents snow buildup, but the chair won't rot if left exposed.

Will the teak turn gray, and can I stop it?

Teak naturally weathers to silver-gray over months of sun exposure. A teak sealer reapplied every few months slows the shift, but the patina doesn't weaken the wood and many prefer the aged look.

Will the woven seat fade in direct sun?

Poly hyacinth webbing is UV resistant and holds its color better than natural fibers. Both the webbing and the teak may lighten slightly over time, but neither material breaks down from sun exposure.

Do you need cushions on a woven seat?

The poly hyacinth webbing flexes enough for comfortable dining without cushions. If you add cushions, choose weather-resistant covers or store them when not in use.

How do you clean teak outdoor furniture?

Wash the frame and webbing with a mild bleach solution, scrub gently with a soft brush, then rinse. The woven seat drains immediately, and teak air-dries without trapping moisture.

Is assembly required, or does it ship ready to use?

Free curbside delivery brings the chair to the curb; assembly status isn't specified in the product details. White-glove setup and in-home assembly are available for an additional fee upon request.
