Mesa Lounge Chair Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

Poolside humidity, direct sun, and rain demand materials that won't rust, rot, or fade after one season. The Lloyd Flanders Mesa Lounge Chair pairs a welded aluminum frame with 100% virgin vinyl wicker and Sunbrella cushions -- available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-crafted in Michigan using the original Lloyd Loom wicker process from 1906, it's the only wicker furniture still manufactured domestically.

How Does All-Weather Wicker Handle Rain and UV Exposure?

All-weather wicker is not the same as natural wicker -- it's 100% virgin vinyl engineered with UV inhibitors to resist sun fade and moisture damage. Unlike natural rattan, which absorbs water and rots, this vinyl wicker sheds rain, won't expand or contract, and cleans with a quick spray and wipe. The Pecan aluminum frame underneath is welded and coated with Durium Modified Polyester Enamel, so it won't rust through years of poolside chlorine, humidity, or salt air.

Can This Stay Outside Through Winter?

Yes, the aluminum frame and vinyl wicker are built to stay outside year-round without corroding or cracking. Store the Sunbrella cushions indoors or in a covered bin when temperatures drop below freezing to protect the foam core from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The frame itself requires no off-season prep beyond a rinse with warm water and mild detergent to clear debris from wicker crevices.

Where Does a Lounge Chair Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The Mesa's compact 30.5-inch width fits balconies and small patios where a full chaise feels too long, yet the 19-inch cushioned seat height delivers real lounge comfort. Designers often cluster two Mesa chairs facing a fire pit or arrange them around outdoor lounge chairs and sectionals for resort-style entertaining. Pair it with a side table from the Mesa collection on a covered porch, or position it poolside alongside outdoor accent chairs for flexible seating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is 100% virgin vinyl with UV inhibitors, while natural wicker is woven rattan that absorbs water and rots outdoors. The Mesa uses synthetic wicker that sheds moisture and resists sun fade.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, the vinyl wicker won't absorb water, expand, or rot when exposed to rain. Hose it down and wipe with mild detergent to keep it clean.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The vinyl wicker contains UV inhibitors to prevent fading, and the Durium polyester enamel frame finish is engineered to hold its appearance through full-sun exposure.

What is a chaise lounge?

A chaise lounge is a long reclining chair designed for one person, typically used outdoors for sunbathing and relaxation. The Mesa offers lounge comfort in a more compact footprint than a traditional full-length chaise.

Are aluminum lounge chairs comfortable?

Yes, especially when paired with deep seating cushions that combine foam core structure and polyester fill for plush support. The Mesa's 19-inch cushioned seat height and generous width deliver real comfort.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free shipping on this lounge chair?

Yes, LOOMLAN Outdoor provides free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order. White-glove setup and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
