Capri Fabric Outdoor Dining Armchair

Details at a Glance

Solid teak and powder-coated aluminum handle covered-patio humidity better than most woods or painted metals -- they resist moisture without warping or rusting. The SUNPAN Capri Fabric Outdoor Dining Armchair pairs a solid teak wood base with a weather-resistant olefin-upholstered seat on an aluminum frame, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You get a barrel-back design that wraps around for lumbar support during long meals, handcrafted in India with three finish combinations to match your patio palette.

How Well Does Teak and Olefin Fabric Stand Up to Moisture?

Teak contains natural oils that repel water and resist the swelling and splitting humidity causes in softer woods. The powder-coated aluminum seat frame won't rust when damp air settles in, and the 100% olefin fabric sheds moisture instead of absorbing it -- no mildew bloom after a rain shower. Because olefin is solution-dyed, the color runs through every fiber rather than sitting on the surface, so it resists fading far better than screen-printed fabrics. This chair is engineered for covered outdoor spaces where a roof blocks most UV exposure -- screened porches, pergolas with shade fabric, deep eaves -- not full sun on an open deck.

Does This Need to Come Inside for Winter?

If you have a covered patio, you can leave this chair out year-round in most climates -- the teak and aluminum frames won't crack in freezing temps, and olefin doesn't hold water that can freeze and tear the weave. Wipe dust and pollen off the fabric with a damp cloth before you sit down in spring. If your winters are severe or your patio is uncovered, bring the chairs into a garage or basement to protect the fabric from prolonged UV and snow accumulation. Never store them wet -- dry the seat fully to prevent mildew in an enclosed space.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

This armchair fits under a roof or pergola where UV exposure is limited and rain doesn't pool directly on the seat. Match it with more pieces from our outdoor dining chairs collection for a full dining set, or use a pair on a screened porch alongside selections from outdoor accent chairs. The barrel-back silhouette works indoors too -- sunrooms and breakfast nooks gain the same wraparound support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay out year-round under a roof in most climates. Teak and aluminum resist moisture and freezing temps, but bring it into covered storage if your winters are severe or your patio is uncovered.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

The 100% olefin fabric is fade-resistant because it's solution-dyed, but SUNPAN recommends covered outdoor spaces to maximize longevity -- limit direct UV exposure.

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

Yes, if it's under a roof. Powder-coated aluminum resists salt corrosion better than bare steel, and teak's natural oils repel moisture even in humid coastal air.

Does the teak need to be oiled?

No -- the natural oils in teak protect it from moisture without added treatment. The wood will weather to a silver-grey patina outdoors; oil it only if you prefer to maintain the original honey tone.

What finishes are available?

Three combinations: Drift Brown teak with Palazzo Cream fabric, Natural teak with Gracebay Grey fabric, or Smoke Grey teak with Copacabana Marble fabric.

How is this shipped and does it require assembly?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove services including in-room placement and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
