Soma Wicker Aluminum Outdoor Accent Chair

Details at a Glance

Rust-proof aluminum and PE synthetic wicker handle rain, sun, and wind without the corrosion or cracking natural materials suffer. The Moe's Home Soma Wicker Aluminum Outdoor Accent Chair, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, pairs that weather-resistant frame with quick-dry Olefin cushions and a 40-inch-wide deep seat that works indoors or out.

How Well Do Aluminum and PE Wicker Hold Up Outdoors?

The aluminum frame resists rust completely -- salt air, rain, and humidity won't corrode it the way steel can. PE synthetic wicker mimics natural rattan but repels moisture, resists UV fading, and won't crack or split when temperatures swing from summer heat to winter cold. The Olefin cushion fabric is engineered for sun exposure and sheds water rapidly so the foam core underneath dries fast after a storm. You're looking at materials that deliver 10-15 years of service without the constant refinishing natural wicker and wood demand.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The aluminum frame and PE wicker can stay outside year-round, though storing the cushions during prolonged rain or snow extends their life. If you leave the cushions out, the quick-dry foam rebounds faster than standard upholstery, but any fabric ages slower when protected from weeks of freezing moisture. The chair itself won't rust or rot, so winter storage is about cushion longevity, not structural survival.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 40-inch width and curved arms suit covered porches, screened patios, and open decks where you want deep-seat lounge comfort without moving into full sectional territory. Pair it with a second chair from the outdoor accent chairs collection in the opposite finish to create a conversation zone, or anchor it next to a dining set from the outdoor dining chairs line for overflow seating. The dual indoor-outdoor rating means you can rotate it into a sunroom or living room during the off-season if you prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- all-weather wicker is synthetic polyethylene resin that mimics natural rattan but resists UV degradation, moisture absorption, and temperature extremes without cracking or fading.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, PE wicker repels moisture and won't absorb water the way natural wicker does, so rain won't cause it to swell, crack, or mildew.

Will aluminum furniture rust?

No, aluminum is naturally rust-proof. Salt air, rain, and humidity won't corrode it, which is why it's favored for coastal and high-moisture climates.

Is it light enough to move but heavy enough for wind?

At 56.7 pounds, it's sturdy enough to stay put in moderate wind but manageable for one person to reposition when you're rearranging the patio.

Can this stay outside all year?

The frame and wicker can remain outdoors year-round, though storing the cushions during prolonged freezing rain or snow extends their lifespan.

Is white-glove delivery or assembly included?

Standard curbside delivery is free to the continental USA. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, and assembly are optional paid services available upon request for an additional fee.
