Galloway Aluminum Outdoor Armless Dining Chair

Details at a Glance

A fully welded aluminum frame eliminates the rust and corrosion that plague steel outdoor seating, while 100% virgin vinyl weave with UV inhibitors holds its tortoiseshell brown color through years of direct sun. The Galloway Aluminum Outdoor Armless Dining Chair from Lloyd Flanders -- available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping -- delivers commercial-grade durability at 11 pounds, light enough to rearrange yet solid enough for hospitality use. The armless silhouette tucks fully under tables to maximize patio space and creates clean sightlines across covered dining areas and poolside lounges.

Will Aluminum Furniture Rust?

It won't. Aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion even in salt air and poolside humidity, so this chair requires no rust treatment or seasonal frame maintenance. The fully welded construction eliminates fasteners that would trap moisture, and the matte black finish resists chipping without annual touch-ups. You can leave these chairs on a covered patio year-round or stack them outdoors under a furniture cover -- the aluminum won't pit, flake or weaken the way steel does after a few wet seasons.

Will the Finish Fade in Direct Sun?

The tortoiseshell vinyl weave includes UV inhibitors throughout the material -- not just a surface coating -- so it stays soft and pliable without fading or cracking. Because the weave is made from 100% virgin vinyl with no fillers, it won't turn brittle under summer heat or stiffen in winter cold. The matte black aluminum holds its color without refinishing, and the vinyl's dimensional stability means it won't sag or loosen as temperatures swing, keeping the cushion fit secure if you order the optional custom pads.

How Do I Store It Over Winter?

Stack the chairs in a dry garage or shed, or leave them on a covered porch with breathable furniture covers -- the aluminum and vinyl construction tolerates freezing temperatures without cracking or warping. At 11 pounds each, you can easily carry a stack of four or five inside before the first snowfall. If you're keeping them outdoors, elevate the stack slightly to let air circulate underneath and prevent pooling water from collecting on the bottom chair's weave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this chair light enough to move but heavy enough for wind?

At 11 pounds it's easy to rearrange for entertaining, and the welded aluminum frame provides enough stability for typical residential and hospitality use without tipping in moderate breezes.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- the aluminum won't rust and the UV-resistant vinyl won't crack in freezing temperatures, though stacking under a breathable cover extends the finish life in harsh climates.

Do outdoor dining chairs need cushions?

Cushions are optional; the vinyl weave provides flexible support on its own, and custom cushions add tailored comfort and let you coordinate color with your outdoor dining chairs and table.

What is the best material for outdoor dining chairs?

Aluminum with UV-resistant vinyl weave delivers low maintenance and long-term durability without the refinishing demands of wood or the brittleness of untreated plastic.

Is aluminum or wicker better for dining chairs?

This chair combines both -- a rust-proof aluminum frame paired with vinyl wicker weave gives you the strength of metal and the texture of wicker without the cracking or mildew that natural materials develop.

Does free shipping include assembly?

Standard delivery is free curbside to the continental USA; white-glove delivery, in-room placement, and assembly are optional services available for an additional fee upon request.
