Purely synthetic wicker sags and stretches where the strands meet -- aluminum wire reinforcement inside every strand prevents that. The Lloyd Flanders Weekend Retreat Dining Chair is a 27-inch-wide all-weather wicker outdoor dining chair with arms, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The continuous loom weave won't unravel at stress points, and the sled base distributes weight evenly across deck surfaces without gouging.
How Does Aluminum-Reinforced Wicker Handle Weather Better Than Standard Resin?
Every strand of this chair's cellulose wicker contains aluminum wire, so the frame holds its shape under load and through temperature swings. Standard all-weather wicker is purely synthetic resin -- it can stretch in heat and crack when cold. The aluminum core here keeps tension constant, preventing the sag you see in armrests and seat edges after a few seasons. The continuous loom weave technique means no weak connection points where separate strands would separate, and the material resists UV fade and moisture without becoming brittle.
Can This Chair Stay on a Covered Patio Year-Round?
Yes, if your patio keeps it out of standing water and direct driving rain. The wicker itself won't rot or mildew, and the aluminum reinforcement won't rust. The cushions have polyester fill and foam cores that dry quickly, but you'll extend their life by bringing them inside during heavy storms or off-season. Wipe the frame down occasionally to clear pollen and dust -- no oil, no sealant needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?
- No -- natural wicker is woven plant fiber that rots outdoors. All-weather wicker is a synthetic cellulose strand, reinforced here with aluminum wire, that resists moisture and UV.
- Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?
- The wicker frame can handle rain, but bring the cushions inside during storms to keep the fill from staying waterlogged.
- Will the finish fade in direct sun?
- The wicker is rated for UV resistance, though any outdoor material will lighten slightly over years of unfiltered sun. A covered patio preserves the color longest.
- How do I pair this with other outdoor seating?
- The plantation styling works with traditional outdoor dining chairs and adjacent outdoor accent chairs in wood, wicker or powder-coated metal finishes.
- Does this chair ship fully assembled?
- Yes, it arrives ready to use -- no assembly required.
- What finishes and fabrics are available?
- You can choose from over 20 wicker finish colors and more than 100 fade-resistant fabric options to match your deck or porch palette.
