Aruba II Durable Sling Dining Stacking Cafe Chair

Details at a Glance

The aluminum frame resists rust and corrosion indefinitely, and the sling fabric sheds water so you're never sitting on a soggy seat after a storm. The Telescope Aruba II Sling Dining Stacking Cafe Chair, a commercial-grade stackable outdoor dining chair for restaurants and residential patios, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It's built for the long haul -- aluminum doesn't oxidize the way steel does, so there's no rust creep even in salt air, and the sling dries fast so you can use the chair within minutes of a downpour.

Will This Chair Survive Coastal Salt Air and Year-Round Sun?

Aluminum naturally resists oxidation, so the frame won't rust even when hit with constant spray or humid coastal conditions. The sling fabric is engineered to withstand UV exposure and precipitation without fading or deteriorating, making this chair suitable for full-sun decks and seaside patios. Commercial-grade construction means it's built for the punishment of daily restaurant use -- the kind of cycle that weeds out weaker materials inside a season.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The all-weather construction lets the chair stay out year-round if you prefer, though stacking makes off-season storage simple when you want to reclaim the space. Clean the frame and fabric with mild soap and water before stacking; the aluminum requires no sealant or oil. If you're leaving it exposed through winter, a UV-resistant furniture cover extends the sling's life, though the material is built to handle freeze-thaw cycles on its own.

How Quickly Does the Sling Dry After a Rainstorm?

The sling fabric drains water immediately and air-dries within minutes, so you won't need to wipe down seats before guests arrive. This eliminates the soaked-cushion problem that plagues upholstered outdoor dining chairs, and it means the chair is ready to use right after a summer shower. Pair it with a 28- to 30-inch-high dining table for proper ergonomics, allowing 24 to 30 inches of clearance behind the chair when it's pulled out.
