Anders Teak Patio Folding Lounge Deck Chair

Details at a Glance

Balcony furniture that folds flat without sacrificing durability is tough to track down -- most lounge chairs still hog deck space even when collapsed. The Anders Teak Patio Folding Lounge Deck Chair uses FSC-certified Grade-A teak and marine-grade stainless steel hardware to deliver four reclining positions while folding to just 4 inches thick, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its compact 24.5-inch width fits narrow balconies, boat decks and tight patios where full-size loungers won't work.

How Does Grade-A Teak Hold Up to Water and Sun?

Grade-A teak contains natural oils that repel moisture, resist rot and insects, and stand up to UV exposure without chemical treatments. This FSC-certified timber weathers from golden honey to silvery grey over time, which is a normal surface patina -- the core structure and natural oils remain intact. You can leave teak outdoors year-round in rain, pool splash or coastal salt air. Marine-grade stainless steel hardware won't rust in those same conditions, so the folding mechanism stays smooth and secure even in humid climates.

Does Teak Need to Be Oiled, and Will It Turn Grey?

Teak doesn't need oil to survive -- its natural oils already protect it from moisture and decay. Surface weathering to silvery grey is normal and doesn't harm the wood. If you want to keep the golden honey color, apply a teak sealer or oil every few months; if you skip it, the chair turns grey but remains structurally sound. That patina is reversible -- you can sand lightly and re-oil anytime to restore the original tone.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Yes, teak and marine-grade stainless steel are built to stay outdoors through winter. The wood won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles, and the hardware won't corrode. Sunbrella cushions resist mildew and water, but you'll extend their life by storing them indoors during prolonged wet weather or snow. The chair itself folds to 4 inches thick, so if you prefer to stash it in a closet or under a bed off-season, it takes almost no space. If you leave it out, expect the teak to weather to grey -- the structure isn't affected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Sunbrella cushion fabric fade in direct sun?

Sunbrella is solution-dyed acrylic, meaning color runs through every fiber -- it resists UV fade for years with minimal maintenance.

Can I stop teak from turning grey?

Regular application of teak sealer or oil every 8--12 weeks will slow the greying, but it requires commitment -- once you stop, the patina returns.

Is this lounge chair good for poolside use?

Yes -- Grade-A teak's natural oils resist chlorine and water without needing sealants, and the stainless steel hardware won't corrode from pool splash.

How do reclining positions lock in place?

The chair offers four locking positions secured by marine-grade stainless steel hardware; each locks firmly and won't slip under body weight.

How do I clean teak outdoor furniture?

Wash with mild soap and water, scrubbing along the grain with a soft brush, then rinse and let air-dry -- avoid pressure washers that can damage the wood.

Is assembly required, and what does delivery include?

Free standard curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove delivery, in-room placement, and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
