Weekend Retreat Ottoman All Weather Wicker

Details at a Glance

All-weather vinyl wicker woven over a rust-proof welded aluminum frame means this ottoman won't absorb moisture, expand, corrode, or rot -- it's built for sun, rain, and humidity. The Lloyd Flanders Weekend Retreat ottoman in all-weather wicker is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Thermoset polyester enamel finish and fade-resistant fabrics hold up across seasons, and you can choose from 20 wicker finishes to match your deck or patio.

Why Won't All-Weather Wicker Absorb Water Like Natural Wicker Does?

Natural wicker is plant fiber -- it soaks up rain, expands, mildews, and eventually rots. All-weather vinyl wicker is a synthetic strand that sheds moisture completely. Lloyd Flanders handcrafts each piece in Michigan using their Lloyd Loom process, weaving vinyl wicker over a welded aluminum frame that won't rust. The thermoset polyester enamel finish resists UV fade and corrosion, so the ottoman holds its color and structure through years of sun exposure, salt air, and poolside splashes.

Can the Cushion Stay Outside in a Rainstorm?

The 1.5-density high-resilience foam core is wrapped in polyester fiber and sealed in a moisture-resistant polypropylene jacket with spun-bond layers that resist mildew and bacteria, so a passing shower won't soak it through. You'll still want to bring cushions inside or stow them in a deck box during heavy rain or long stretches of wet weather -- the jacket slows water intrusion but isn't a waterproof barrier. The wicker frame itself can stay outside year-round without concern.

Where Does This Ottoman Work Best on a Patio?

Pair it with a deep-seating lounge chair on a covered porch, use it as a low coffee table for drinks and trays in a poolside conversation set, or tuck it next to an Adirondack chair on an open deck. The 26.5-inch width and firm cushion support serving trays and books. Browse our outdoor accent chairs or outdoor ottomans collections to build a complete seating group, and explore outdoor accessories to finish the look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is all-weather wicker the same as natural wicker?

No -- natural wicker is woven plant fiber that absorbs water and rots outdoors, while all-weather vinyl wicker is a synthetic strand that sheds moisture and won't mildew or decay.

Can resin wicker be left out in the rain?

Yes, vinyl wicker over an aluminum frame resists rust and moisture indefinitely. The cushion benefits from storage during heavy rain, but the frame itself can stay outside year-round.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The thermoset polyester enamel on the aluminum frame and the fade-resistant outdoor fabrics are both engineered to hold color through UV exposure, though no finish is completely immune to years of intense sun.

How do I clean the wicker?

Wipe it down with warm water and a mild dish detergent, then rinse and let it air-dry. The vinyl wicker won't absorb the water or stain.

Does this ship assembled or do I need tools?

It ships fully assembled from the Michigan workshop. Free curbside delivery is included; white-glove setup and packaging removal are available for an additional fee upon request.

Can I use this as a coffee table?

Yes, the firm cushion and 26.5-inch width support trays, drinks, and books, making it a versatile coffee-table alternative in a conversation set.
