Loom Handmade Outdoor Dining Armchair

Details at a Glance

This all-aluminum dining armchair handles the full summer sun cycle without corroding or fading. The Lloyd Flanders Loom Handmade Outdoor Dining Armchair, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, pairs a welded aluminum frame with handwoven Lloyd Loom wicker and custom Sunbrella cushions across 20 coordinated finishes. At 12.1 pounds, it's light enough to rearrange but built to commercial-grade standards -- the Durium modified polyester enamel finish resists chemical exposure and the wicker won't absorb moisture.

How Well Does Aluminum and Lloyd Loom Wicker Hold Up in Rain and Heat?

Welded aluminum won't rust, corrode, or degrade in humidity -- it's why hospitality operations specify it for high-traffic outdoor dining. The Lloyd Loom wicker is handwoven from synthetic fibers that repel moisture instead of soaking it in, so the material dries fast after a downpour and won't grow mildew. The Durium finish on the aluminum frame adds a layer of chemical resistance on top of the metal's natural durability, and the Sunbrella cushion fabric is engineered to resist UV degradation and color fade even under full-day sun exposure. This chair doesn't need a garage; it's designed to stay on the deck.

Do You Need to Bring the Cushions Inside Every Night?

You don't need to pull the cushions after every meal, but Sunbrella fabric performs best when it can dry between storms -- prop them up or bring them in during extended rain. For winter or long periods when the table isn't in use, store the cushions indoors and either cover the frame or move it under an overhang. The aluminum and wicker can handle freezing temperatures without cracking, but keeping cushions dry off-season extends their life. Wipe the frame with a damp cloth when dust accumulates; the wicker doesn't hold dirt the way natural rattan does.

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

At 20.75 inches of cushioned seat height, this armchair pairs naturally with standard dining tables on covered patios or screened porches where the handcrafted detail shows. The 26.5-inch arm height provides elbow support without crowding the table edge, and the 12.1-pound weight makes it easy to slide back without scratching composite decking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this chair stay outside all year?

The aluminum frame and Lloyd Loom wicker can remain outdoors through winter -- they won't rust or crack in freezing temperatures. Remove and store the Sunbrella cushions indoors during the off-season, or cover the entire chair if you prefer.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium polyester enamel finish and Lloyd Loom wicker are both engineered to resist UV degradation. The Sunbrella cushion fabric is designed specifically to resist color fade under full sun exposure.

Is this suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes -- aluminum does not corrode in salt air the way steel does, and the synthetic Lloyd Loom wicker repels moisture instead of absorbing it. Rinse the frame periodically to prevent salt buildup on the finish.

How do I clean the wicker if it gets dusty or stained?

Wipe the Lloyd Loom wicker with a damp cloth or hose it down -- the material doesn't hold dirt like natural rattan. For Sunbrella cushions, spot-clean with mild soap and water; the fabric is designed to shed stains.

What makes this chair commercial grade?

The welded aluminum frame, corrosion-resistant Durium finish, and handcrafted construction meet hospitality durability standards. At 12.1 pounds, it's also light enough for staff to rearrange quickly between services.

Does this ship fully assembled, and is delivery free?

The chair ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove services -- in-room placement, packaging removal, or assembly if needed -- are available upon request for an additional fee.
