Magnolia Brown Outdoor Sofa

Details at a Glance

Virgin vinyl wicker stays soft and pliable in direct sun without cracking, while the rust-proof aluminum frame tolerates moisture and temperature swings that destroy lesser materials. The Lloyd Flanders Magnolia Brown Outdoor Sofa, an 80-inch all-weather wicker sofa with Sunbrella cushions, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It's handwoven in the USA and seats three adults comfortably at an 18-inch cushioned height.

How Well Does Virgin Vinyl Wicker Handle UV and Rain Exposure?

Virgin vinyl resists UV degradation better than recycled-fiber wicker, which hardens and cracks after two or three seasons of sun. This wicker remains flexible through winters and summer heat, and the aluminum frame underneath will never rust even when rain pools on the patio. Sunbrella acrylic cushions resist fading in full sun and shed water instead of soaking it up, so they dry fast after a storm. You're looking at materials engineered for year-round outdoor exposure, not furniture that fades by Labor Day.

Do You Have to Bring the Sofa Inside for Winter?

The frame and wicker tolerate winter outdoors -- aluminum won't rust and vinyl won't crack in freezing temps. The cushions are better off stored indoors if you're not using the sofa for months at a stretch, because even water-resistant fabric wears faster when it's soaked and frozen repeatedly. If you've got a covered porch, you can leave everything in place and just toss a cover over the cushions during heavy snow.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

At 80 inches wide, this sofa anchors a seating area on a covered porch or open deck, and the Sandcastle finish pairs cleanly with the neutral tones in most outdoor sofas and loveseats arrangements. Add a pair of outdoor accent chairs across from it for conversation seating, or layer in outdoor accessories and weather-resistant wall art to finish the space. The 37.5-inch depth gives you lounge-style comfort without the bulk of a full sectional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, the aluminum frame and vinyl wicker tolerate year-round outdoor exposure, though you'll extend cushion life by storing them indoors during extended non-use in winter.

Will the wicker or cushions fade in direct sun?

The virgin vinyl wicker is UV-resilient and the Sunbrella fabric resists fading even in full sun exposure.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes, the all-weather aluminum frame is rust-proof and handles salt air without corroding.

Are the Sunbrella cushions waterproof?

They're water-resistant rather than fully waterproof -- they resist penetration and dry quickly, but covering them during storms prevents premature wear.

How much assembly is required?

Minimal assembly is required; the sofa is handwoven and ships mostly complete.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free shipping on this sofa?

Yes, free standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is included with no minimum purchase.
