Mandalay Ottoman Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

This ottoman's five-strand vinyl wicker won't crack, peel, or absorb moisture through seasons of rain and direct sun exposure. The Lloyd Flanders Mandalay outdoor ottoman is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You get a welded all-aluminum frame that resists rust, a custom deep-seating cushion in your choice of 20 fade-resistant fabrics including Sunbrella, and a woven vinyl wicker finish that mimics natural sea grass without the decay.

What Makes Vinyl Wicker Better Than Natural Wicker Outdoors?

Natural wicker absorbs moisture, splinters, and rots when left in the weather -- vinyl wicker does none of that. This ottoman's vinyl strands are woven over a welded aluminum frame that won't corrode in salt air or rust through wet seasons. The Durium modified polyester enamel finish adds a layer of chemical resistance and exterior durability that traditional rattan or sea grass can't match. UV exposure won't degrade the structure, rain drains off without soaking in, and you don't sand or refinish anything.

Can You Leave This Ottoman Outside All Year?

You can, because the frame and wicker resist rust and moisture year-round. The custom cushion has a moisture-resistant fabric encasement and comes in your choice of water-repellent, mildew-resistant options including Sunbrella, so it handles occasional rain. For extended off-season periods in harsh climates, bring the cushion indoors or store it in a deck box to prolong its lifespan. The wicker and aluminum frame are fine left out, but cushions last longer when protected from months of snow or ice. Clean the wicker with warm water and mild detergent in spring, spot-clean the cushion as needed, and it's ready again.

Where Does This Ottoman Work Best on a Patio?

It's compact at 25.5 inches square, so it fits well next to outdoor accent chairs on a lanai or beside lounge seating on a deck. The flat cushion surface doubles as a footrest or a tray stand when you're entertaining outdoors. You can also pair multiples from the outdoor ottomans collection to create flexible seating around a fire pit, or use one as a low seat inside a sunroom alongside outdoor accessories like side tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No. Natural wicker is woven from plant fiber that absorbs moisture and rots outdoors; all-weather wicker is vinyl or resin that resists rain, UV, and mildew without degrading.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes. This ottoman's vinyl wicker sheds water and won't swell, crack, or peel when exposed to rain or humidity.

Can this stay outside all year?

The wicker and aluminum frame can stay out year-round. Bring the cushion indoors or store it covered during extended winter months to prevent ice damage and prolong fabric life.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium polyester enamel finish and UV-resistant wicker hold their color through sun exposure. Sunbrella and other fade-resistant fabrics are designed to resist UV degradation.

How do I clean the wicker and cushion?

Wipe the wicker with warm water and mild detergent; spot-clean the cushion with a damp cloth and let it air dry. No special treatments required.

Does this ship fully assembled or do I put it together?

The ottoman ships with the frame and wicker assembled; you place the cushion on top. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA. White-glove setup and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
