Sunflare Wooden Frame Outdoor Lounge Chair

Details at a Glance

Solid acacia wood holds up to rain and temperature swings better than softer woods, and 100% polyethylene wicker resists UV damage and moisture without cracking or fading the way natural rattan does. The Zuo Modern Sunflare Wooden Frame Outdoor Lounge Chair combines both materials in a hospitality-grade design available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 24 inches wide and just over 17 pounds, this compact outdoor accent chair fits smaller patios and balconies while maintaining a deep 30.7-inch seating depth for real comfort.

How Well Does Acacia Wood and Polyethylene Wicker Handle Sun and Rain?

Acacia is a naturally dense hardwood with high oil content, so it sheds water and resists warping better than pine or cedar. The polyethylene synthetic rattan weave is engineered to block UV rays that cause fading and to repel moisture that would rot natural fiber -- you won't see the brittleness or color loss that happens to untreated wicker in direct sun. Together, this frame and weave combination delivers the structural durability of hardwood and the fade resistance of resin, making the chair suitable for uncovered patios in full sun or coastal humidity. That said, acacia will weather to a silver-gray patina if left untreated; if you want to preserve the brown tone, plan to apply teak oil or hardwood sealer annually.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out in freezing temperatures -- acacia won't crack from cold and polyethylene stays flexible down to well below zero -- but storing the chair under a waterproof cover or in a shed will extend the finish life and prevent dirt buildup in the weave. If you're keeping it uncovered through snow and ice, brush off heavy accumulation so water doesn't pool on the seat, and plan to clean the wicker with mild soap and warm water in spring before the season starts. The frame won't rust or rot, but unprotected exposure to months of standing water will accelerate the natural weathering of the wood.

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

The compact 24-inch width and hospitality-grade build make this lounge chair ideal for poolside seating, covered balconies, and garden corners where you want low-profile seating that doesn't overwhelm the space. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor lounge chairs collection for a coordinated lounge zone, or mix it into arrangements with outdoor accent chairs and side tables for flexible entertaining layouts. The rich brown tone complements natural stone, wood decking, and greenery, and the chair arrives fully assembled so you can place it and use it the day it shows up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- the acacia frame and polyethylene wicker tolerate freezing temperatures and year-round exposure, though using a waterproof cover or indoor storage in winter will slow the wood's natural weathering and keep the weave cleaner.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The polyethylene wicker is UV-resistant and won't fade or become brittle in full sun. The acacia wood will weather to a gray patina over time unless you treat it with teak oil or hardwood sealer.

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

Yes -- neither acacia wood nor polyethylene wicker corrodes from salt air, making this chair well-suited to beachfront patios and poolside areas with saltwater systems.

How do you clean synthetic rattan weave?

Scrub the weave with a soft brush, mild soap, and warm water, rinse thoroughly, and let it air dry. Polyethylene won't absorb water or mildew the way natural rattan does.

Does this chair require assembly?

No -- it ships fully assembled and ready to place. Standard curbside delivery is free; white-glove setup is available for an additional fee upon request.

What's the difference between all-weather wicker and natural rattan?

All-weather wicker is synthetic polyethylene resin woven to look like rattan but engineered to resist UV fading, moisture, and temperature swings -- it won't crack, splinter, or lose color the way untreated natural rattan does outdoors.
