Avant MGP Aluminum Balcony Height Stacking Chair

Details at a Glance

Powder-coated aluminum resists rust in saltwater spray and pool chemicals while staying light enough to restack after every shift. The Telescope Avant Balcony Height Stacking Chair stands 26 inches tall for counter-height tables and stacks 15 high for off-season storage, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Reinforced joints handle high-traffic rooftop patios and hotel pool decks without the corrosion problems bare metal brings.

Will Powder-Coated Aluminum Rust Near Water?

No -- the marine-grade powder coating seals the aluminum frame against saltwater corrosion, pool chlorine, and humidity that would pit bare metal in a season. Aluminum itself doesn't rust because it contains no iron, and the baked-on finish blocks UV rays from degrading the surface. You'll see powder-coated frames on coastal boardwalks and resort pools for exactly this reason -- the material tolerates what wrought iron can't. Rinse it monthly if you're right on the ocean to clear salt residue, but the frame won't corrode underneath.

How Do You Store Stackable Chairs Over Winter?

Stack up to 15 chairs in a single column, cover the stack with a weatherproof tarp, and move them to a dry corner of a covered deck or utility room. The armless profile keeps the stack narrow enough to fit through standard doorways, and the light aluminum frame means you're not hauling cast iron. If you don't have indoor space, leaving the stack on the patio under a tarp works fine -- the powder coating handles freeze-thaw cycles -- but covered storage extends the finish life. Wipe the frames down before stacking so moisture doesn't sit between seats all winter.

Where Does a 26-Inch Seat Height Work Best?

Balcony height chairs pair with counter-height tables that stand 36 inches tall, so they're built for rooftop bars, elevated terraces, and poolside dining where standard 18-inch seats would leave guests reaching up. The armless design tucks completely under the table to free up floor space on narrow balconies and makes it easy to add outdoor dining chairs mid-service without rearranging the whole setup. Use them alongside other outdoor accent chairs and outdoor chairs to furnish flexible spaces that need to clear for events or maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will aluminum outdoor chairs rust?

No -- aluminum contains no iron so it can't rust, and the marine-grade powder coating on this frame blocks saltwater and pool chemicals from corroding the surface.

Is powder-coated aluminum light enough to move but stable in wind?

Yes -- the frame is light enough for one person to carry and restack, but the reinforced joints and low center of gravity keep it stable on a breezy rooftop.

Can this chair stay outside all year?

Yes -- the powder coating and rust-proof aluminum handle year-round exposure, though stacking and covering them extends the finish life in harsh winters.

Will the light gray finish fade in direct sun?

Marine-grade powder coating resists UV degradation better than paint, so the finish holds its color through full-sun seasons, though all outdoor coatings eventually soften with years of exposure.

How many chairs can you stack for storage?

This model stacks up to 15 chairs high in a single column for compact seasonal storage or between shifts on a commercial patio.

Does this ship assembled or do I need tools?

Minimal assembly is required -- about 10 minutes to attach seat hardware. Standard shipping is free curbside delivery to the continental US; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
