Loom Wicker Outdoor Chaise

Details at a Glance

Poolside means UV, chlorine mist, and temperature swings that warp lesser materials -- this chaise counters all three with a fully welded aluminum frame that won't rust and hand-woven Lloyd Loom polyester wicker that sheds water without cracking. The Lloyd Flanders Loom Wicker Outdoor Chaise, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, pairs a coastal-grade Durium enamel finish with a 100% Sunbrella cushion that holds its color through full-sun summers.

How Does Lloyd Loom Wicker Hold Up in Rain and Direct Sun?

Lloyd Loom wicker is a modified polyester fiber woven over aluminum, not natural plant material -- it doesn't absorb moisture or swell when wet. The Durium polyester enamel coating resists UV fade, salt air, and pool chemicals better than powder coat alone, and the wicker itself stays flexible in temperature extremes from freezing winters to desert heat. Sunbrella acrylic cushion fabric is solution-dyed, so the color goes all the way through the fiber and won't bleach out in direct sun.

Can You Leave This Outside Year-Round?

You can, and the aluminum frame and polyester wicker will survive it. Both materials resist rust, rot, and freeze-thaw cycles. The cushion should come inside or go into a deck box for winter -- Sunbrella resists mildew better than any outdoor fabric, but months of standing water and snow still shorten its life. Wipe the frame with soapy water twice a year, and apply automotive wax if you're near the ocean -- salt air corrodes anything given enough time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is extruded polyester or resin that mimics the look of woven rattan but doesn't absorb water, crack in sun, or attract mildew. Natural wicker is plant fiber and must stay dry.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, Lloyd Loom polyester wicker sheds water and dries quickly. The aluminum frame underneath won't rust, so the chaise can stay on the deck through summer storms.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium enamel finish and Sunbrella cushion are both engineered to resist UV fade. You'll see some softening after years of full-sun exposure, but far less than paint or standard outdoor fabric.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the frame and wicker with mild dish soap and a soft brush, rinse with a hose, and let it air-dry. Vacuum the cushion regularly and blot spills right away.

What's the weight limit?

The source specs don't list a capacity, but the welded aluminum frame and 59.6-lb construction are built for adult use.

Does it come assembled?

Standard delivery is free curbside; assembly is an optional paid service you can add at checkout if you need it.
