St. Catherine Outdoor Lounge Chair

Details at a Glance

Marine Grade Polymer construction resists the three enemies of poolside furniture -- chlorine, salt air, and direct sun -- without any of the rust, rot, or splintering you get from traditional materials. The St. Catherine Cushion Deep Seat Arm Chair from Telescope Casual is a 30-inch-wide stationary outdoor lounge chair with a sled base, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Deep seating proportions (35.25 inches front to back) accommodate full cushions and let you actually recline instead of perching upright.

How Well Does Marine Grade Polymer Hold Up to Pool Chemicals and Coastal Salt Air?

Marine Grade Polymer is a non-porous synthetic engineered specifically for waterfront environments where metal corrodes and wood splits. It won't absorb moisture, so there's no rot or mildew even when chairs sit poolside year-round. UV stabilizers are mixed into the material itself, not just surface-applied, which means the cream finish resists fading under direct sun far longer than painted finishes. The chemical resistance is genuine -- chlorine splash from pool decks and salt spray from coastal air won't degrade the polymer or cause surface pitting the way they do with aluminum or steel frames.

Can This Stay Outside All Year, or Do You Have to Store It?

This chair can stay on a covered patio or deck through winter without damage to the frame -- the Marine Grade Polymer won't crack in freezing temperatures and thaws without warping. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice storms, bringing it into a garage or shed prevents the weight load from stressing the sled base, but the material itself handles cold without issue. Rinse it with a hose a few times during the season to clear leaves and debris from the curved base runners, and it'll be ready to use the day temperatures climb again.

Where Does a Deep Seat Lounge Chair Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

Deep seating works beautifully on covered patios where you settle in for long conversations or morning coffee -- the 35-inch seat depth encourages you to lean back rather than sit upright. Pair this sled-base chair with other pieces from the outdoor lounge chairs collection to anchor a seating zone around a fire table, or use it as a standalone accent on a screened porch. The stationary frame and low-profile sled base suit any surface, from composite decking to poured concrete pool surrounds, and the cream finish plays well alongside both bold cushions and neutral outdoor accent chairs in mixed arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the cream finish fade if this sits in full sun all summer?

The UV stabilizers in Marine Grade Polymer run through the material, so the cream color resists fading far longer than painted finishes. You'll see minimal change even after years of direct exposure.

Is this chair safe to leave near a saltwater pool or on a coastal patio?

Yes -- the non-porous Marine Grade Polymer construction won't corrode from salt air or pool chemicals the way metal frames do, which is why it's rated for poolside and coastal installations.

How do I clean Marine Grade Polymer if it gets pollen or mildew on the surface?

Rinse with a garden hose or wipe down with soapy water and a soft brush. Because the material doesn't absorb moisture, surface mildew wipes away without staining.

Can this hold up to commercial use at a hotel pool or restaurant patio?

Yes, Telescope rates this chair as commercial grade, meaning the frame and finish meet hospitality standards for high-traffic environments.

What's the difference between a deep seat chair and a regular outdoor dining chair?

Deep seating has a seat depth of 20-24 inches (this one is 35.25 inches total depth) designed for reclining with cushions, while dining chairs have 16-18 inch depths for upright posture.

Does this ship fully assembled, or is there setup required?

Minimal assembly takes about 15 minutes with included hardware. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.
