Nantucket Large Ottoman Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

Welded aluminum wrapped in all-weather wicker resists rust, moisture and UV fade season after season. The Lloyd Flanders Nantucket large ottoman is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Lloyd Flanders hand-crafts this outdoor footstool in Michigan using their proprietary 3x3 Lloyd Loom weave, which creates a smooth, consistent surface that won't crack or split the way natural wicker does outdoors.

How Does All-Weather Wicker Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

All-weather wicker is a synthetic material engineered to resist moisture, UV rays and mildew -- three things that destroy natural wicker in a single season. This ottoman uses Lloyd Flanders' 3x3 Lloyd Loom technique, which weaves the fiber tightly enough to prevent water intrusion while remaining flexible through temperature swings. The welded aluminum frame underneath won't corrode in rain or salt air, and the reinforced aluminum stakes embedded at stress points prevent sagging under weight. Sunbrella-compatible cushions add fade and mildew resistance on top, so the whole piece handles direct sun and summer storms without cracking, warping or rusting.

Can You Leave This Outside Through Winter?

You can -- the aluminum and synthetic wicker are rated for year-round outdoor exposure. Remove and store the cushions indoors or in a waterproof deck box to keep them dry and extend their life. The wicker itself needs only a wipe-down with mild soap and water before winter; no sealing or oiling required. If you're in a heavy snow region, covering the frame with a breathable outdoor cover will keep ice and debris out of the weave, but the materials themselves won't degrade in freezing temperatures.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

This large ottoman fits naturally into coastal and traditional arrangements -- pair it with outdoor accent chairs or use it as a footrest in a covered porch furnished with other outdoor ottomans for flexible seating. The neutral wicker finish coordinates with permanent patio furniture and pieces moved outdoors seasonally. Add outdoor accessories or weather-resistant wall art to complete a resort-style outdoor room that handles real weather.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is a synthetic resin fiber that resists moisture, UV and mildew, while natural wicker is plant-based and will rot outdoors in one season.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, the Lloyd Loom weave sheds water and the aluminum frame won't rust, so rain won't damage the ottoman.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, the frame and wicker are rated for year-round outdoor exposure. Store cushions indoors over winter to keep them dry.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The rust-resistant finish on the aluminum and the synthetic wicker are both UV-stabilized to resist fading, though any outdoor material will show gradual patina over years of full-sun exposure.

How do I clean the wicker weave?

Wipe it down with mild soap and water -- no sealing or special treatment needed. Clean Sunbrella cushions per the manufacturer's guidelines.

Does this ship fully assembled?

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