Grand Traverse Patio Ottoman Outdoor Furniture

Details at a Glance

The woven vinyl wicker on this ottoman doesn't absorb water, crack, or peel the way natural wicker does -- it's a cellulose-vinyl composite that has been resisting moisture since 1906. The Lloyd Flanders Grand Traverse patio ottoman with cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It's handcrafted in Michigan over a welded aluminum frame finished in rust-proof enamel, and the moisture-resistant cushion fill resists mildew in humid or coastal climates.

Will the Wicker and Frame Hold Up Year-Round Outdoors?

Yes -- the Lloyd Loom Sunloom wicker is a vinyl-cellulose weave that repels moisture instead of soaking it in, so it won't rot, crack, or split. The welded aluminum frame underneath is coated in Durium modified polyester enamel, which stops rust before it starts. This combination handles sun, rain, and salt air without the brittleness you get from natural rattan or the surface rust you sometimes see on uncoated steel. You can leave it on the deck through summer storms without worrying about structural damage.

Do You Need to Cover or Store It Over Winter?

Not necessarily, but it depends on your climate. The wicker and aluminum frame can stay outside year-round -- neither rusts nor rots -- but the cushion will last longer if you bring it inside or use a fitted cover during freezing rain or heavy snow. If you live where winters are mild and mostly dry, you can leave the whole piece out. For harsher climates, pull the cushion indoors and wipe down the wicker frame once in spring. The ottoman itself weighs little enough to move easily.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

It's sized as a footrest for deep-seating lounge chairs or as a low seat tucked into a corner -- at just under 19 inches wide, it fits tight layouts without blocking walkways. Pair it with pieces from the outdoor accent chairs collection for a reading nook, or use it as extra seating when you're hosting near your outdoor wall art. Top it with a tray and it turns into a small coffee table in outdoor accessory vignettes. The two wicker finishes -- Brown-Caramel and Ivory-Bisque -- let you match it to existing outdoor ottomans or contrast for visual interest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside in full sun without fading?

The wicker itself is UV-stable and won't fade. If you choose a custom cushion fabric, select one rated for outdoor fade resistance -- LOOMLAN Outdoor offers fabrics engineered to resist sun damage.

Is it safe for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- the aluminum frame is rust-proof even in salt air, and the vinyl wicker won't corrode or pit. Rinse it occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup on the surface.

How do I clean the wicker if it gets dusty or dirty?

Wipe it down with warm water and a drop of mild dish detergent, then rinse. The woven vinyl dries fast and doesn't hold onto grime the way natural fibers do.

Are the cushions waterproof?

They're moisture-resistant and mildew-resistant, not fully waterproof. The outer fabric repels light rain, but if the cushion gets soaked, stand it on edge to dry -- the fill is designed to drain and resist mold.

Does it arrive assembled, or do I need tools?

It arrives fully assembled. Free curbside delivery brings it to the curb; white-glove services like in-room placement are available for an additional fee if you need them.

Can I use it as a coffee table?

Yes -- set a tray on top to create a stable surface for drinks or a candle. At 26 inches tall, it's the right height for most deep-seating lounge chairs.
