Summit Aluminum Frame Outdoor Ottoman

Details at a Glance

The aluminum frame is fully welded so it will not absorb water, rust, or corrode in rain or humidity, and the synthetic wicker is woven to shed moisture rather than trap it. The Lloyd Flanders Summit Aluminum Frame Outdoor Ottoman is a rectangular weather-resistant footrest available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 22.6 pounds, it is light enough to move across a patio but substantial enough to stay planted on windy days.

Will the Aluminum Frame and Wicker Hold Up in Direct Sun and Rain?

Yes -- the fully welded aluminum frame does not absorb moisture, so it resists rust, corrosion, and the cracking that can occur when water gets inside hollow tubes and freezes. The hand-woven all-weather wicker is synthetic and sheds water rather than soaking it up like natural fiber. The Durium powder-coated finish resists UV fade and chemical damage, and the Sunbrella cushion fabric is solution-dyed acrylic, which means the color goes through the entire fiber and will not bleach out under continuous sun. Together, these materials handle direct sunlight, summer rain, and high humidity without breaking down.

Can You Leave It Outside All Winter?

The aluminum frame and synthetic wicker can stay outside year-round because neither material absorbs moisture or cracks in freezing temperatures. The Sunbrella cushion resists mildew and moisture, but you should store it indoors during months of heavy snow or ice to extend its life. If you do not have indoor storage, a waterproof cover will protect the cushion from standing water. Wipe down the aluminum with mild soap in spring and apply automotive wax twice a year to keep the finish looking new.

Where Does a Rectangular Ottoman Like This Fit Best?

The 26.75-inch width makes it a natural footrest for deep-seating lounge chairs in your outdoor accent chairs arrangement, or you can cluster two or three as a modular coffee table by placing a tray on top. It works well tucked into sectional seating or paired with outdoor ottomans of varying heights to create flexible seating zones. The rectangular shape fits neatly into narrow spaces between furniture, and at 22.6 pounds it is easy to slide around as your layout changes. Consider adding weather-resistant outdoor wall art to anchor the seating area visually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will aluminum furniture rust or corrode in rain?

No -- aluminum does not rust because it contains no iron, and the fully welded frame construction prevents water from pooling inside the tubing.

Is this light enough to move but heavy enough to stay put in wind?

Yes -- at 22.6 pounds you can lift and reposition it easily, yet it is stable enough that it will not blow across the deck in a moderate breeze.

Will the finish fade if it sits in direct sun all summer?

The Durium powder-coated finish resists UV damage, and the Sunbrella cushion fabric is solution-dyed so the color will not bleach out under continuous sunlight.

Can I use this as a coffee table?

Yes -- place a tray on top to create a stable surface for drinks or snacks; the 26.75-inch width accommodates small plates and glasses comfortably.

How should I store the cushion during winter?

Store the Sunbrella cushion indoors during months of snow or freezing rain, or cover it with a waterproof outdoor cover to prevent standing water from pooling on the fabric.
