Nest Hanging Chair

Details at a Glance

This hanging chair uses natural rattan sealed under a clear lacquer topcoat, so the frame resists moisture and minor splashes but needs shelter from direct rain and continuous sun. The marine-grade Cartenza cushion cover holds up better than standard outdoor fabric when it stays dry. The Nest Hanging Chair by Artesia is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It's built for covered porches, sunrooms, and patio overhangs where you want the texture of real rattan without exposing it to downpours.

How Well Does Lacquered Rattan Hold Up Under a Roof?

Lacquered rattan performs well on a covered porch because the clear topcoat seals the natural fibers against humidity and light moisture without hiding the grain. You'll see the actual rattan texture through the finish, and the coat stops water from soaking into the core when condensation forms overnight. The 1 to 1.5 inch diameter pieces are thick enough to stay rigid under weight, and the lacquer slows UV damage when indirect sunlight bounces under the eaves. This finish does not make rattan waterproof -- leaving the chair exposed to rain will eventually crack the coat and let water penetrate -- but it gives you months of reliable use in a three-season room or under a solid roof.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You should move this chair indoors or into a garage before freezing temperatures arrive. Lacquered rattan can crack when moisture trapped in the fibers expands in a freeze-thaw cycle, and the marine-grade cushion will last longer if it's not damp through a cold season. If indoor storage isn't an option, wrap the frame in a waterproof cover that breathes at the seams -- tight plastic traps condensation -- and store the cushion separately in a dry bin. Rope suspension should be inspected for fraying each spring before you hang the chair again.

Where Does This Work Best on a Covered Patio?

Hang it in a corner of a screened porch or under a deep soffit where the roof overhang keeps rain off the seat, and pair it with pieces from our outdoor accent chairs collection or an outdoor lounge chair to build a full relaxation zone. The white finish and natural rattan texture suit coastal and farmhouse palettes, and the 33 by 28 inch footprint fits tight corners that a rocker or glider wouldn't. You can also use it indoors in a sunroom -- the marine-grade cushion won't off-gas the way vinyl does, and the rope suspension mounts to a ceiling joist with a heavy-duty hook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Not safely -- the lacquered rattan and marine-grade cushion are designed for covered outdoor spaces and should be stored indoors or in a garage during winter to prevent freeze damage and UV degradation.

Will the white finish fade in direct sun?

The clear lacquer and white frame will fade if exposed to full sun for hours every day; this chair performs best in dappled light or under a roof where UV is indirect.

How do I store it over winter?

Unhook the rope suspension, wipe the frame dry, and store the chair in a garage or basement. Keep the cushion in a sealed bin away from moisture.

Is the rope suspension strong enough for adults?

Yes -- rope mounting systems are standard for hanging chairs and support typical adult weight when anchored correctly to a ceiling joist or beam, but verify your mounting point's load capacity before installation.

What's included with the chair?

The chair ships with the rattan frame, rope suspension, and marine-grade foam cushion. Confirm mounting hardware inclusion by calling 833-566-6526 before ordering if you need a ceiling hook.

Does the chair arrive assembled?

White-glove setup and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee; standard free curbside delivery does not include assembly or mounting.
