Details at a Glance

Handwoven virgin vinyl wicker with UV inhibitors stays waterproof and fade-resistant through years of rain and direct sun, while the welded aluminum frame underneath resists corrosion without needing touch-ups or protective coatings. The Lloyd Flanders Mackinac Wicker Outdoor Swivel Glider Chair with High Back is a dual-motion outdoor lounge chair with a 38.5-inch high back, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The foam-core cushions in performance fabrics resist moisture and mildew, and the chair ships fully assembled.

How Does All-Weather Wicker Stand Up to Rain and UV Exposure?

All-weather wicker isn't natural rattan -- it's virgin vinyl resin handwoven over an aluminum frame, and it handles moisture and sunlight in ways plant fiber can't. This wicker includes UV inhibitors baked into the vinyl, so it won't crack, fade, or become brittle after seasons of direct sun. Rain runs off without soaking in, which means no rot, no mold, and no swelling that loosens the weave. The welded aluminum frame underneath won't rust or corrode in humidity or salt air, so the structure stays solid year after year with no sanding, sealing, or repainting.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The wicker and aluminum can stay outside through winter -- both materials handle freezing temperatures and snow without cracking. You should bring the cushions indoors or store them in a waterproof deck box, because foam retains some moisture even with resistant casings, and freeze-thaw cycles will eventually degrade the fill. If you leave the bare frame out, hose it down in spring and you're done. Covering it extends the finish life, but it's not required the way it would be with wood or untreated metal.

Where Does This Swivel Glider Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

Position it on a covered patio where the dual motion lets you shift direction without moving the chair -- ideal for conversation areas or watching kids in the yard. It also works poolside, because the waterproof wicker and corrosion-resistant aluminum tolerate chlorine spray and constant moisture. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs collection to build a full seating set, or use it as a standalone reading chair on a sunroom or screened porch. It's light enough to reposition but stable enough that the swivel-glide mechanism stays smooth on uneven decking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is virgin vinyl resin with UV inhibitors, handwoven over aluminum. Natural wicker is plant fiber and will crack, mold, and unravel outdoors.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, virgin vinyl wicker is waterproof and won't absorb moisture, rot, or develop mildew when left in the rain.

Can this stay outside all year?

The wicker and aluminum frame can stay out through winter, but bring the cushions inside or store them in a waterproof container to protect the foam fill from freeze-thaw damage.

Will the wicker fade in direct sun?

No, the vinyl includes UV inhibitors that prevent fading and brittleness even after years of sun exposure.

Does this chair ship fully assembled?

Yes, it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Free curbside delivery is included; assembly service is not part of standard shipping.

What's the difference between a lounge chair and a chaise lounge?

A lounge chair is upright or semi-reclined seating with a standard seat depth. A chaise lounge has an elongated seat that supports your legs for full-body reclining.
