Low Country Sofa Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

This sofa uses UV-inhibited vinyl wicker over a welded aluminum frame so the structure won't rust and the weave won't fade through seasons of sun exposure. The Lloyd Flanders Low Country Sofa, a deep seating outdoor sofa with quick-dry cushions, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Lloyd Loom wicker has been handcrafted in Michigan since 1906 and remains flexible in heat without cracking in cold.

Will UV-Stabilized Vinyl Wicker Hold Up in Full Sun and Rain?

Yes -- the 100% virgin vinyl weave contains UV inhibitors that prevent fading and brittleness under direct sun. Unlike natural wicker, this material won't absorb moisture, expand, contract, weaken, or rot when wet. The Durium Modified Polyester Enamel finish on the aluminum frame is thermoset and cross-linked with melamine, so it resists chipping and oxidation from humidity or salt air. Both the wicker and the frame are engineered to stay outside year-round on covered patios or screened porches.

Do You Have to Bring the Cushions Inside After Every Rain?

You should store the cushions indoors or in a waterproof deck box during heavy or prolonged rain. The Premium Cloud Cushioning is hydrophobic -- it repels water and dries quickly -- but it's not fully waterproof, so extended soaking will eventually saturate the fill. The wicker and aluminum frame can stay outside, though a breathable cover extends the finish life over winter. Clean both wicker and frame with warm water and mild detergent when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is synthetic (vinyl or resin) and won't absorb moisture, rot, or weaken, while natural wicker is plant fiber that breaks down outdoors.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, the vinyl wicker on this sofa will not absorb water or degrade, though you should store the cushions during prolonged rain.

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame and wicker can remain outside on a covered patio or porch year-round; store cushions indoors or in a waterproof box during winter.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The UV-stabilized vinyl wicker and Durium enamel finish resist fading through years of sun exposure.

How long does outdoor wicker last?

High-quality synthetic wicker like Lloyd Loom, with UV inhibitors and proper care, lasts many years without cracking or fading.
