Tobago Hyacinth Outdoor Dining Armchair

Details at a Glance

The Lloyd Flanders Tobago Hyacinth outdoor dining armchair combines UV-stabilized virgin vinyl wicker with a rust-proof aluminum frame so it holds up to full sun, moisture, and salt air without cracking or corroding. The Lloyd Flanders Tobago Hyacinth outdoor dining armchair is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Hand-assembled in the USA, it ships with Sunbrella cushions that resist fading and dry quickly after rain.

How Well Does Virgin Vinyl Wicker Handle Rain and Sun?

The 100% virgin vinyl wicker is UV-stabilized, meaning the polymer resists breaking down under direct sunlight -- it won't fade, crack, or turn brittle the way untreated wicker and some painted finishes do after a season or two. The aluminum frame beneath the wicker won't rust in rain, humid air, or coastal salt spray, and the Sunbrella cushion fabric is engineered to hold color through years of UV exposure. You're looking at a chair that maintains both structure and appearance when left on an open deck through summer.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

No, the aluminum and vinyl construction can stay outside year-round, though you'll extend the life of the Sunbrella cushions if you store them indoors during freezing months. If the chairs remain outdoors, cover them with weatherproof furniture covers to keep snow and ice off the wicker; apply vinyl protectant every three to four months to guard against UV damage and keep the weave supple. At 22.2 pounds each, the chairs are light enough to move into a garage or covered porch when a storm rolls in.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The Hyacinth finish -- a neutral tone -- pairs easily with wood, tile, or concrete surfaces on covered patios and open poolside decks. Arrange six around a rectangular dining table for a cohesive set, or mix them with other outdoor dining chairs if you're layering finishes. Because the frame is rust-proof and the wicker resists moisture, the chair transitions smoothly between screened porches and exposed patios. The 24-inch arm height provides support during long meals, and the 16.5-inch seat height works with standard dining-table dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, the aluminum frame and UV-stabilized vinyl wicker are built to remain outdoors year-round, though storing the Sunbrella cushions indoors during winter extends their lifespan.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No, the virgin vinyl is UV-stabilized to resist color loss and brittleness, and the Sunbrella cushion fabric holds its color through years of sun exposure.

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

Yes, the aluminum frame is rust-proof and the vinyl wicker resists corrosion, making it appropriate for poolside and beachfront installations.

Do the cushions dry quickly after rain?

Yes, Sunbrella acrylic fabric is moisture-resistant and quick-drying, though tilting the chair or bringing cushions under cover accelerates the process.

Is assembly required?

The chair is hand-assembled in the USA and ships ready to use; cushions are included with free curbside delivery to the continental USA.

How do you clean vinyl wicker?

Wipe with mild soap and water, rinse, and apply a vinyl protectant every three to four months to maintain UV resistance and keep the weave from drying out.
