Frequently Asked Questions
What types of outdoor seating are available?
Our outdoor seating collection includes sofas and sectionals for lounging, dining and lounge chairs, benches for versatile seating, bar stools, and counter stools for elevated dining. Styles range from modern and contemporary to coastal and transitional, with materials including all-weather wicker, powder-coated aluminum, teak, and rope in various finishes and cushion options.
Is outdoor seating weather-resistant?
Yes! Our outdoor seating is specifically designed for exterior use with materials that resist UV fading, withstand rain and moisture, and handle temperature fluctuations. Frames are made from powder-coated aluminum, all-weather wicker, teak, or stainless steel. Cushions feature outdoor-grade fabrics with UV protection and quick-dry foam. While durable, we recommend covering or storing cushions during extreme weather or harsh winters for extended longevity.
How do I choose the right outdoor seating for my space?
Measure your space carefully, leaving adequate walkway clearance—at least 24-36 inches around furniture. For dining areas, ensure chairs can pull out comfortably. Consider your primary use—lounging requires sofas and deep seating, while dining needs chairs or stools. Match seating to your outdoor tables for cohesive style. Scale furniture to your space—oversized pieces overwhelm small patios.
What cushion fabrics work best for outdoor seating?
Look for solution-dyed acrylic fabrics like Sunbrella that resist fading, mildew, and stains while maintaining vibrant colors. Performance polyester offers similar benefits at lower price points. Cushions should have quick-dry foam cores that shed water and resist mold. Removable, washable covers make maintenance easy. Avoid indoor fabrics outdoors—they'll fade and deteriorate quickly. Quality outdoor fabrics maintain beauty for years with proper care.
How do I maintain outdoor seating?
Regular maintenance keeps outdoor seating looking fresh. Hose down frames and wipe with mild soap and water. Brush off cushions and spot-clean spills immediately. Remove cushions during rain or store in weatherproof containers. Cover furniture when not in use. For specific materials: clean wicker with a soft brush, oil teak annually, and follow cushion care labels. Before winter storage, clean thoroughly and ensure everything is completely dry to prevent mold.
Can I leave outdoor seating outside year-round?
It depends on your climate and materials. In mild climates, most outdoor seating can remain outside year-round with furniture covers. In areas with harsh winters, freezing temperatures, or heavy snow, we recommend storing cushions indoors and covering or storing frames in a shed or garage. Teak can weather naturally outdoors, while aluminum and wicker benefit from covers. Always check product care instructions for specific recommendations to maximize longevity.
