Frontier Aluminum Outdoor Dining Armchair

Details at a Glance

This armchair pairs an aluminum frame with Lloyd Loom all-weather wicker that won't absorb rain or trap moisture, engineered specifically for coastal and poolside settings where humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion on lesser materials. The Lloyd Flanders Frontier Aluminum Outdoor Dining Armchair with Sunbrella cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will Aluminum and Wicker Hold Up to Rain and Salt Air?

Yes -- the all-aluminum frame resists corrosion in coastal environments, and the synthetic Lloyd Loom wicker doesn't absorb water, so it won't rot, warp, or harbor mildew the way natural wicker does. The Durium modified polyester enamel finish is formulated for exterior exposure, protecting the frame from UV fade and chemical damage across 20 color options. You can leave this chair poolside or on a covered patio year-round without rust forming on the frame or the weave breaking down from constant moisture.

Can This Chair Stay Outside All Year?

The aluminum frame and synthetic wicker can remain outdoors through winter in most climates, but you'll extend its life by storing the Sunbrella cushion indoors during severe weather or prolonged cold snaps. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the frame with mild soap and water and applying automotive wax twice a year to maintain the finish's chemical resistance. If you're in a region with heavy snow or ice, bringing the chairs into a shed or garage protects them from accumulation that can stress joints, though the materials themselves won't rust or freeze-crack.

Where Does This Armchair Work Best?

It's built for covered patios, screened porches, and poolside dining areas where you need seating that dries quickly after a rainstorm and won't corrode near chlorinated water. At 30 pounds, it's light enough to rearrange when you're hosting but heavy enough not to blow across the deck in wind. Pair it with more pieces from our outdoor dining chairs collection for a complete dining set, or use it as occasional seating in arrangements with outdoor accent chairs when you need flexibility across your outdoor chairs setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will aluminum furniture rust?

No -- aluminum forms a natural oxide layer that prevents rust, and the Durium polyester enamel finish adds an additional barrier against corrosion in coastal and poolside environments.

Is this light enough to move but heavy enough to stay put in wind?

Yes, at 30 pounds it's easy to reposition for cleaning or rearranging but stable enough that normal gusts won't tip or slide it.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium enamel finish and Sunbrella acrylic cushion are both engineered for fade resistance in full-sun exposure, though applying automotive wax twice yearly helps maintain the color.

How do you clean all-weather wicker?

Mild soap and water remove dirt and pollen; the synthetic weave doesn't absorb moisture, so it air-dries quickly without trapping mildew.

Do I need to use the cushion, or can I sit directly on the wicker?

The woven seat is comfortable without the cushion, especially in high-traffic or uncovered areas where you want quick-dry performance -- the Sunbrella cushion is included for added comfort when you want it.

Does this ship fully assembled, and is delivery free?

Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA; assembly services are available upon request for an additional fee if you'd prefer not to handle setup yourself.
