Riviera Aluminum Outdoor Dining Table

Details at a Glance

Finding an aluminum frame that won't corrode but still looks inviting can be hard when most metal patio furniture reads industrial. This round dining table pairs a fully welded aluminum frame -- which won't rust even in coastal humidity -- with UV-inhibitor-treated vinyl woven to mimic natural rattan texture. The Lloyd Flanders Riviera 48-inch Round Dining Table seats four and is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

Will Aluminum Rust or Corrode in Rain and Salt Air?

No, aluminum doesn't rust. Unlike steel, it forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to moisture, so this welded frame won't pit, flake or corrode even if you're a mile from the ocean or leave it uncovered through a wet season. The vinyl weave is 100% virgin material treated with UV inhibitors, meaning it resists both sun fade and the brittleness that cheaper filled vinyl develops after a summer of direct exposure. The open-weave base lets water drain through rather than pool, so mildew doesn't get a foothold.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, though covering it or storing it in a shed extends the finish life. The aluminum frame and vinyl weave are built for year-round outdoor use, but snow load and ice melt can dull any powder coat over time. If you're leaving it out, tilt the table on its side so snow slides off, or use a breathable cover that won't trap condensation. A quick hose-down in spring and you're back to dinners on the deck.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

A 48-inch round fits four adults comfortably and tucks into smaller patios where a rectangular table would crowd the walking path. It works well under a pergola or in a corner nook flanked by planters, and the circular shape keeps conversation flowing better than a long rectangle. Pair it with cushioned chairs from the outdoor dining tables section or mix it with a lounge set from outdoor coffee tables to create a layered setup. The Camel weave complements natural teak or wicker pieces if you're building out a full outdoor bistro or dining zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will aluminum furniture rust if I leave it outside all year?

No, aluminum forms a protective oxide layer that prevents rust, so this table's welded frame won't corrode in rain, snow or salt air.

Is 87 pounds light enough to move but heavy enough that wind won't flip it?

Yes, two people can lift and reposition it easily, and 87 pounds is stable enough in normal breezes -- though you'd still want to secure it or store it ahead of a major storm.

Will the vinyl weave fade in direct sun?

The vinyl is treated with UV inhibitors to resist fading, so the Camel color holds up well even in full-sun exposure, though any outdoor material benefits from occasional shade or a cover.

How do I clean vinyl weave after a season outdoors?

Hose it down and scrub with mild soap and a soft brush; the open-weave design drains water quickly and doesn't trap dirt the way solid surfaces do.

Does this arrive assembled or do I need to put it together?

The table ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA; assembly requirements aren't specified, so contact us if you'd like details or white-glove setup for an additional fee.

Can I use this on a covered porch versus a fully exposed deck?

Either works -- a covered porch shields the finish from the harshest UV and precipitation, but the aluminum and vinyl are engineered for full outdoor exposure if you prefer an open-air dining spot.
