Weekend Retreat 5PC Dining Table Set Lloyd Flanders

Details at a Glance

Lloyd Flanders' continuous Lloyd Loom 2x2 weave over extruded aluminum frames resists UV fade, rain, and temperature swings -- the Durium polyester finish keeps its color through years of direct sun. The Lloyd Flanders Weekend Retreat 5-Piece Dining Set, a Transitional all-weather wicker outdoor dining set with Sunbrella cushions seating six, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Handcrafted in North Carolina using weaving techniques from a brand established in 1917, this made-to-order set ships in 20 wicker finishes and over 100 Sunbrella fabric patterns.

How Does Lloyd Loom Wicker Stand Up to Rain and Sun?

Lloyd Flanders' continuous-loom weave creates a seamless surface without individual wicker strands that snap or pull loose under stress. The extruded aluminum frames won't rust even in coastal salt air, and the Durium UV-resistant polyester finish prevents the color from bleaching or cracking through decades of temperature swings. Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic fabric resists fading and mildew while the quick-dry foam core drains water instead of absorbing it, so cushions dry within hours after a rainstorm.

Do You Have to Cover Wicker Furniture in Winter?

Position this set on a covered patio or under a pergola where it's shielded from direct rainfall -- the aluminum frame is rust-proof year-round, but keeping the wicker out of standing water extends its life. Bring Sunbrella cushions indoors when you're not using the set for weeks at a time, or store them in a deck box to prevent dirt buildup. Wipe the wicker clean with mild soap and water in spring, and throw the cushion covers in the washing machine if they pick up pollen or dust.

Where Does a 5-Piece Dining Set Work Best?

This set seats four on the included chairs and fits two more when you pull in outdoor dining chairs from elsewhere on the patio, making it compact enough for average decks while still handling a dinner party. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor dining sets collection if you need a larger table for eight, or step down to outdoor bistro sets for breakfast nooks and balconies. The Transitional styling coordinates with both modern and classic furnishings, so it bridges the gap between indoor dining rooms and outdoor entertaining zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The aluminum frame and Durium finish are built for year-round outdoor use, but Lloyd Flanders recommends covering or storing the set when it's not in use for extended periods to keep the wicker clean. Bring Sunbrella cushions indoors during winter to prevent dirt and debris from settling into the fabric.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Durium UV-resistant polyester finish is formulated to resist color fade and cracking through years of direct sunlight. Sunbrella fabric is solution-dyed, meaning the color runs through the entire fiber and won't bleach out the way surface-dyed textiles do.

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

Yes -- extruded aluminum frames won't rust in salt air, and the Durium finish protects the wicker from moisture and UV exposure common in beachfront settings.

What size table do I need to seat 6 people?

A table at least 60 inches long and 36 inches wide typically seats six comfortably with room for serving dishes, though this set includes four chairs and accommodates two additional seats when you add extra chairs.

Is aluminum better than steel for outdoor furniture?

Aluminum resists rust without a finish, weighs less than steel, and maintains its shape through freeze-thaw cycles without warping or cracking.

Does this set ship fully assembled?

The set requires minimal assembly and ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA. In-room placement and full assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
