Escape Aluminum Outdoor Ottoman

Details at a Glance

A fully welded aluminum frame won't rust, even when this ottoman sits uncovered through rain or humid summers. The Lloyd Flanders Escape Aluminum Outdoor Ottoman is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its matte charcoal finish and Sunbrella-cushioned seat handle direct sun and moisture with minimal maintenance.

Will Aluminum Furniture Rust?

No -- aluminum doesn't rust because it lacks iron, and the welded joints on this frame eliminate the fastener gaps where moisture usually causes galvanic corrosion. The matte charcoal finish is powder-coated for UV resistance, so the color won't fade or peel when the piece stays outside year-round. You'll wipe off pollen or dirt with a damp cloth, but there's no coating to reapply and no oxidation to sand down.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Yes -- the aluminum frame handles freeze-thaw cycles and rain without warping or corroding. The Sunbrella cushion's hydrophobic SMS jacket sheds water rather than soaking it up, so the foam core stays dry in most conditions. Bringing the cushion indoors during heavy storms or winter storage will extend its life, but the frame itself can remain on your deck or patio permanently without damage from weather exposure.

Is It Light Enough to Move but Heavy Enough for Wind?

At 15.5 lbs you'll reposition this ottoman easily -- lift it with one hand to shift it from a lounge chair over to a sectional arrangement. That weight is enough to stay grounded in moderate wind, though you'll want to tuck it under a table or bring it onto a covered porch during storm warnings. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection to build a full deep-seating set, or use it as a footrest beside furniture in our outdoor ottomans range. The rectangular 25.75 x 28 in. footprint also works as a low coffee table when you set a tray on top, making it useful on decks, poolside patios, or covered lanais.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the cushion fabric fade in direct sun?

Sunbrella is solution-dyed acrylic, so the color runs through the entire fiber and resists UV fade far better than printed outdoor fabrics. You can choose from custom Sunbrella patterns to match your space.

How do I store the cushion over winter?

Bring it indoors to a dry basement or garage; the hydrophobic jacket sheds moisture, but indoor storage prevents mildew and extends the foam's lifespan. The aluminum frame can stay outside.

Can I use this as a coffee table?

Yes -- place a serving tray on the cushion to create a stable surface for drinks and snacks. The 16.13 in. height works well with most deep-seating lounge chairs.

What maintenance does aluminum outdoor furniture need?

Wipe the frame with a damp cloth to remove pollen or dirt. The powder-coated finish doesn't require waxing or touch-ups, and the welded joints won't loosen over time.

Is the cushion really waterproof?

The SMS jacket is hydrophobic and sheds water rather than absorbing it, so light rain won't soak the foam core. Heavy downpours or prolonged exposure will eventually penetrate, so we recommend bringing the cushion in during storms.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Yes, the frame ships assembled -- you'll place the cushion on top and it's ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
