Stella Teak Outdoor Folding Armchair

Details at a Glance

FSC-certified grade-A teak resists rot, insects, and moisture without chemical treatment, while the dura sling seat drains water fast after rain and won't develop mold. The Stella Teak Outdoor Folding Armchair is a 21-inch outdoor dining chair with arms that folds flat for storage without sacrificing the profile of a permanent seat, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. When you're hosting, it's a real dining chair with proper arm height and back support; when the party's over, it collapses to a few inches thick.

How Well Does FSC Teak Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Grade-A teak resists rot, insect damage, and moisture naturally -- no sealers or chemical treatments required. The wood's high oil content repels water and keeps the frame stable through freeze-thaw cycles. Over time, teak exposed to UV develops a silver-grey patina; that's weathering, not decay, and the structure remains sound. The dura sling fabric drains quickly and resists mildew, so the seat doesn't trap moisture after a storm.

Does Teak Need to Be Oiled, and What If You Leave It Uncovered?

You don't have to oil teak -- it's weatherproof on its own. If you want to keep the original honey-brown color, apply teak oil or sealer every few months; if you skip it, the wood turns silver-grey and stays structurally fine. The chair can stay outside year-round uncovered, though folding it flat and storing it in a garage or closet when you're not using it extends the life of the hardware. The sling seat handles year-round outdoor exposure without rot or mildew.

Where Does a Folding Armchair Work Best?

This chair fits small patios that need flexible seating or households that entertain seasonally -- you can store six to eight folded chairs in the footprint of one traditional piece. Pair it with teak or aluminum pieces from our outdoor dining chairs collection for a cohesive look, or mix it into outdoor counter dining sets when you need extra seating at bar height. It's also a practical choice for commercial venues that reconfigure seating layouts between events, since the 250-lb capacity meets hospitality-grade standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does teak need to be oiled?

No -- teak resists rot and moisture without treatment. Oiling keeps the honey-brown color; skipping it lets the wood turn silver-grey, and both are weatherproof.

Will teak turn grey, and can I stop it?

Yes, UV exposure turns teak silver-grey over time. You can slow it with teak oil or sealer applied every few months, but the grey patina doesn't weaken the wood.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes. The teak frame and dura sling seat handle year-round outdoor exposure, though folding and storing it in a garage protects the hinges and extends hardware life.

What is a sling chair, and does it need cushions?

A sling chair uses weather-resistant fabric stretched over a frame for flexible support that drains water fast. This one doesn't need cushions -- the sling provides comfortable support on its own.

How do I store it over winter?

Fold it flat and stack it in a closet, garage, or under a bed. Six to eight folded chairs fit in the space of one traditional chair, and the sling seat won't mildew in storage.

Does it ship assembled, or is white-glove delivery included?

It ships fully assembled and ready to use. Standard delivery is free curbside to the continental USA; setup and in-room placement are optional services available for an additional fee upon request.
