Kendall Sling Stacking Cafe Chair

Details at a Glance

Marine Grade Polymer frames stand up to rain, pool chemicals, and coastal humidity because the material doesn't absorb water, rust, or crack like metal or traditional resin. The Telescope Kendall Sling Stacking Café Chair in blue and white is a 20-inch-wide contemporary armless chair with sling back construction available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. It stacks 10 chairs high for compact storage between events or off-season.

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

Yes, Marine Grade Polymer is engineered for coastal and pool environments because it's completely non-porous -- water, chlorine, and salt air can't penetrate the surface to cause rot, corrosion, or structural degradation the way they do with wood, wicker, or bare aluminum. You won't see rust stains, surface cracks, or the chalky fade that comes from moisture intrusion. The material also resists UV damage, so the blue-and-white colorway holds its tone through years of direct sun exposure without the fading or brittleness you get from standard outdoor resin.

Can This Chair Stay Outside Year-Round?

It can, though most commercial users stack and store them to maximize patio space during the off-season. MGP doesn't absorb water, so there's no freeze-thaw cracking risk in winter climates. The sling material air-dries almost instantly after rain, which prevents mildew buildup between uses. For care, hose the frame and sling clean when dust or pollen accumulates -- no scrubbing or specialty cleaners needed. If you're leaving them out through winter, stack them under a roof overhang or waterproof cover to minimize snow load on the sling fabric.

Where Does an Armless Café Chair Work Best?

The 18-inch seat height pairs with standard dining tables, and the armless profile lets you tuck the chairs completely under the table edge to free up walkway space on tight patios or poolside terraces. The 10-chair stacking capacity makes these practical for venues that set up and break down dining areas daily or need to clear deck space for private events. Pair them with additional seating from our outdoor dining chairs or mix with outdoor accent chairs to add seating flexibility around the perimeter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the blue-and-white finish fade in direct sun?

Marine Grade Polymer resists UV damage, so the colorway holds tone through years of sun exposure without the chalky fade or brittleness you see in standard outdoor resin.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes, MGP is non-porous and won't corrode, rust, or rot in salt air, making it a strong choice for waterfront decks and pool areas where metal frames would stain.

How do I store these chairs over winter?

Stack them up to 10 high under a roof overhang or waterproof cover. The material won't crack in freezing temps, but covered stacking protects the sling fabric from snow load.

Can the sling material support commercial use?

Yes, Telescope sling material is engineered for hospitality environments and conforms to different body types while air-drying instantly after rain to prevent mildew.

Does this ship fully assembled?

Most components arrive pre-assembled with simple connection hardware -- minimal assembly required. Free curbside delivery is included; in-room placement and full assembly are available for an additional fee upon request.

What's the difference between a café chair and a dining chair?

Café chairs are compact armless designs built for dense commercial seating with 18-19 inch seat height, prioritizing stackability and easy maintenance over deep cushioned comfort.
