Nantucket Porch Rocker Premium Wicker Furniture

Details at a Glance

The Lloyd Flanders Nantucket porch rocker puts hand-woven vinyl wicker over a welded aluminum frame that will not rust, even in salt air or constant rain. This outdoor lounge chair is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Built in Michigan, it mates the signature Lloyd Loom weaving process with a corrosion-resistant structure and custom Sunbrella cushions designed for open-air use.

How Does Woven Vinyl Wicker Stand Up to Rain and UV?

Vinyl wicker is chemically inert -- it doesn't absorb water, so it won't expand when it gets soaked or crack when it dries. The material also resists UV breakdown, and the Durium polyester enamel on the aluminum frame holds its color year after year in direct sun. Unlike natural rattan, which rots and splits outdoors, the Lloyd Loom synthetic weave cleans with warm water and mild detergent and stays dimensionally stable through humidity swings. The Sunbrella cushion fabric is solution-dyed acrylic, fade-resistant and mildew-resistant with a water-repellent finish, so a morning dew or afternoon shower won't force you to haul them indoors.

Can This Rocker Stay Outside All Year?

Yes -- the welded aluminum will not corrode, and the vinyl wicker won't crack in freezing temperatures. That said, leaving the custom Sunbrella cushions out through winter snow or ice will shorten their life; store them in a dry shed or sealed bin during the months you're not using the chair. Wipe the frame and wicker down before the first hard freeze, then bring it back out in spring without refinishing.

Where Does a Porch Rocker Work Best?

Traditional placement is under a covered porch or pergola, where the roof gives extra protection from direct weather. You can also set it poolside -- the aluminum frame won't rust in chlorinated spray or salt air. Pair this rocker with other pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs collection or an outdoor accent chair to build a full seating area. If you're furnishing a screened porch, coordinate it with outdoor chairs in neutral tones that echo the wicker's natural weave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker uses synthetic vinyl or resin fibers that resist moisture and UV, while natural wicker is rattan or willow that rots outdoors.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes -- vinyl wicker is nonporous, so rain runs off without being absorbed, and the material won't mildew or expand.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium polyester enamel on the aluminum and the solution-dyed Sunbrella fabric both resist UV fading far longer than conventional finishes and textiles.

How do I clean the wicker?

Wipe it with warm water and a drop of mild detergent, then rinse and let it air dry.

Does the chair arrive fully assembled?

The frame is welded and the cushions are custom-made to order; minimal assembly means simply placing the cushions on the seat and back.

What shipping options are available?

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