Low Country Dining Armchair Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

All-weather wicker wrapped over aluminum resists the three enemies of outdoor furniture: UV radiation that cracks natural rattan, moisture that rusts steel frames, and temperature swings that warp wood. This chair is built to sit on a patio year-round without the maintenance schedule natural materials demand. The Lloyd Flanders Low Country Dining Armchair is an all-weather wicker outdoor dining chair with corrosion-resistant aluminum frame available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-crafted in the USA, each piece is individually woven by artisans who tension the wicker tighter than machines achieve.

What Makes Virgin Vinyl Wicker Hold Up Better Than Natural Rattan?

Virgin vinyl wicker -- not recycled composite -- includes built-in UV inhibitors that prevent the color fade and surface cracking you see on natural rattan after two seasons. The material doesn't absorb water, so rain won't trigger mildew or rot the way it does with organic fibers. Because it's woven over a rustproof aluminum frame instead of rattan's wood core, the structure stays rigid in coastal salt air and high-humidity climates where steel would corrode. You're not treating or sealing anything -- the protection is engineered into the resin from manufacturing.

Do You Have to Cover It Every Time It Rains?

No -- this wicker is designed to shed rain without absorbing moisture, and the aluminum frame won't rust if water sits on it. The Cloud Cushioning system dries quickly instead of staying waterlogged, which prevents mildew from taking hold in the foam core. For winter storage in freeze-thaw climates, bringing the cushions indoors extends their life, but the wicker and frame can stay outside as long as snow load doesn't exceed what the structure was rated for. You're not racing to throw a tarp on it before every storm.

Where Does This Armchair Work Best on a Covered Patio or Open Deck?

The hand-woven construction and Cloud Cushioning make this a natural anchor for a dining setup -- pair it with a full set from our outdoor dining chairs collection to build out a table for six or eight. The 18-inch seat height is standard dining proportion, so it matches most outdoor tables without the mismatch you sometimes get mixing outdoor accent chairs into a dining zone. If you're furnishing a poolside cabana or a covered lanai where guests linger, the ergonomic armrests and deep cushioning support long meals better than backless stools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is a UV-stabilized synthetic vinyl that resists moisture and fading, while natural wicker is organic rattan that cracks and mildews outdoors. This chair uses 100% virgin vinyl, not natural fiber.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, the virgin vinyl wicker doesn't absorb water and the aluminum frame won't rust, so rain won't damage the structure. The cushions dry quickly and resist mildew.

Will the wicker fade in direct sun?

The built-in UV inhibitors slow color degradation significantly, though all outdoor furniture shows some aging over years of constant sun exposure. It holds color far longer than untreated natural materials.

How do I clean all-weather wicker furniture?

Wipe it down with mild soap and water -- the UV-inhibited vinyl resists staining. No oiling, sealing, or specialty cleaners required.

What assembly is required?

Minimal -- typically attaching legs or securing cushions. Most buyers have it ready in under 15 minutes.

Does this ship fully assembled to my door?

Free curbside delivery to the continental USA is included; white-glove setup and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
