Tide Natural Wood Lounge Chair

Details at a Glance

Acacia wood naturally resists moisture and decay, and the polypropylene weave on this lounge chair won't absorb water or rot the way natural rattan will. The Zuo Modern Tide Natural Wood Lounge Chair -- a woven outdoor lounge chair with a solid acacia frame -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 17.6 lbs, you can lift it into the garage when a storm rolls in or leave it on a covered porch year-round.

How Well Do Acacia Wood and Polypropylene Hold Up to Weather?

Acacia contains natural oils that repel water and slow the growth of mold, so the frame won't swell or crack the way pine does when it gets wet. Polypropylene is a synthetic plastic that resists UV fade, chlorine splash, and saltwater spray -- it dries fast and won't mildew like natural fiber. You won't see the color bleach out after one summer, and the weave stays taut through temperature swings. That combination handles poolside and coastal patios without constant sanding or resealing.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

If you have a covered porch or a shed, store it there to extend the wood's lifespan. Acacia can stay outside under a waterproof cover in moderate climates, but ice and snow will accelerate weathering. Polypropylene won't crack in freezing temps, so the weave itself is safe outdoors. Wipe the chair down with mild soap and warm water before you store it, then rinse with a hose and let it air-dry completely so mold doesn't form in storage.

Where Does a Lightweight Lounge Chair Work Best?

At 17.6 lbs with a 290-lb capacity, this chair fits in a narrow balcony corner or alongside a patio dining set without blocking walkways. Cluster two around a side table to create a conversation area, or line three along a pool deck where you need seating that moves easily for hosing down concrete. The natural wood tone layers well with other pieces in our outdoor lounge chairs and outdoor accent chairs collections, and the neutral weave pairs with teak or powder-coated aluminum frames if you're mixing materials across your outdoor chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Under a waterproof cover in moderate climates, yes -- but a covered porch or shed will prevent the acacia from graying and cracking as fast. Polypropylene won't degrade outdoors, but the wood benefits from shelter.

Will the weave fade in direct sun?

Polypropylene is UV-stabilized, so it resists fading far better than natural rattan. You'll see minimal color shift even after full seasons of sun exposure.

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

Yes -- polypropylene won't corrode, and acacia's natural oils resist salt damage better than softer woods. Rinse the frame every few weeks to prevent salt buildup, and the chair will hold up on a beachfront deck.

How do I clean the woven seat?

Wash with mild soap and warm water, then rinse with a hose. The polypropylene dries quickly and won't trap mildew if you let it air out completely.

What is the weight capacity?

290 lbs, which is commercial-grade strength -- this chair works for hospitality poolside seating and high-traffic patios.

Does it ship assembled, or do I need to pay extra for setup?

Standard delivery is free curbside to the continental U.S.; assembly and in-room placement are optional services available for an additional fee upon request.
