Is there assembly ? Do they rust when exposed to rain ?

My husband has had two of these chairs and loves them. They come in a large box fully assembled. He does not put his chair out in the rain. He has it in the garage where he smokes his cigar and paints. He said he doesn't think it would rust because the tubing looks like it is powder coated and the gromets are aluminum. It is a strong chair. He loves it.

No assembly needed. Mine isn't exposed directly to rain, but it is on the lanai which is screened and when it rains and the wind blows that way it gets wet. We live in Florida and the humidity is usually pretty high. No rust and we've had it over a year. Very comfortable!

No assembly required. Not sure about the rusting because the chairs haven't been put out in the elements yet. They were a Christmas present for relatives up north and the weather hasn't been nice enough yet to even think about putting them on the patio.

Hi Brian, There is no assembly required. I'm sorry but I can't answer to the rust as I keep it in the garage when not using it. It is very comfortable, but also very heavy. Although it is made for big and tall, my legs are still a little too long to recline without hitting the bottom bar. I am a 5'8" 140# female. Not sure how really big and tall men find it.

The unit is heavy so it must be steel which may rust in rain. I keep mine inside and it is outside only on sunny days. They are extremely comfortable. They come fully assembled.

Mine came totally assembled. We have two at our beach property, on our balcony, you can see them at www.islandvista506.comThey rust mostly because of the salt air. We replace them about every 3 or 4 years, they are WONDERFUL and so COMFORTABLE!

There is no assembly involved. Our chair is always exposed to the elements and there has been no rust so far. It seems well made and rust resistant and sturdy.

Ours has been outside in all weather conditions. No rust although I think it is cast aluminum.

Yes the one I received was a complete assembly, even had a gasket. However, mine started to rust after just a few uses and cleaning in a dishwasher.

The only rust I've found is the washers on wheels. We've left it out since dec and it stil looks new

It is not supposed to rust, and I haven't had it long enough to see for myself.We've had se pretty severe storms with lots of wind lately (gusts up to 40mph) but it didn't topple over.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

They're made of die-cast aluminum so they won't rust. Source: Hy-ko catalog online.

No they don't. It rusts very easy. I wouldn't recommend after having it for a while.

None comes with it. But aluminum doesn't rust. Still, I'd throw a tarp over it if I were storing it outside. There could be smaller components made of steel or whatever that would suffer from moisture long term.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

They are usually brass and brass doesn't rust. Sounds like you really need to address this issue. This is not something that is normally installed with silicone and I would predict a future failure. Sight unseen, you probably need to access the underside for dis-assembly to do it right. Good luck.

Yes, they will rust a bit if you don't open it and let it dry after coming in out of the rain. I used mine for commuting, and it would be in a plastic bag in my tote bag once I got on the train. If I forgot to open it up to dry once I got home the joints would rust if left wet overnight. My own fault of course, but sometimes you just forget things once you get home.

No rust after one season, and they are in storage in our basement. So far they've been great--comfortable, nice after the pool so you don't worry about getting them wet, and the added table is great!
