Since it is not polycarbonite like the true Louis chair, does it discolor over time? Does a window cleaner or other cleaner fog up or harm the surface?

I have had my chair for about 2 years and it has not discolored. I use window cleaner, and it works just fine!

Mine has not discolored at all since purchase almost a year ago. I have never tried window cleaner, but it is good quality and I don't think it would fog up. Maybe use a more natural cleaner instead of windex to be safe.

I've had mine for 3 years. It has not fogged up nor has it discolored--it's a clear and beautiful as the day it arrived. There really hasn't been a need to clean it. Typically I used a feather duster on it weekly. Anything I've had to wipe off of it, I've done with microfiber cloth and a small amount of water.

The best method to clean is a damp micro-fiber cloth. If you use windex, use it from the can as it contains a bit of oil.

I've had it for almost two years now and have noticed no discoloration. I've just been using clorox wipes on it and it has been fine.

No. It has a clear lacquer coating and great for kids. My grandson loves it. Uses the table and two chairs in his room and two chairs downstairs so he can watch TV. Easy to assemble.

I keep my lounge chair outside all year long and I have had it now for almost 2 years. There does not appear to be any rust on it.

We bought 4 pieces and have had them for about 6 months, outside in the weather. Treated 3 pieces with clear polyurthene after about 3 months; one piece not yet treated. Untreated, the color of the wood weathers naturally to a silvery gray. The color of our untreated piece hasn't really changed yet. There has been no impact to the integrity of the wood on any of the pieces. We are well pleased and can recommend the furniture.

Mine is located on a covered deck, therefore not a lot of exposure to weather. However, I also have a log arbor made from the same white cedar and has been exposed to rain and snow for years and it still looks great. On both items I did apply a high quality red cedar stain. Without stain the cedar will turn gray in color over time (not at all harmful to the wood). Cedar is naturally impervious to rot and insects, so I don't think you need to worry about exposure to weather. The overall quality of the chair is very good... very sturdy and not flimsy at all. I hope this is helpful.

Oddly enough I had my first spot on it this weekend, don't know what caused it but I used 'Spot Shot' and it's gone! In fairness I have to say mine doesn't get used that much, so dog/dirt/cleaning???, maybe not the chair for you. Unless you throw a 'throw' over it removing it only when you have guests. Otherwise $value I think you actually get more than you pay for....I really like it, and the secret storage part is a bonus. Hope this helped you make your decision one way or the other, good luck.

I use this chair in my baby's room for night time feeds and I have been able to get formula (if you don't have children, formula can make really ugly stains) off of the fabric without any issues. However I'm not sure if something like red wine or coffee would as easy to remove.

Yes. But mine has not discolored at all inside after several months. A concern of mine as well.

I noticed no discoloration, etc., from using this spray. however, make sure to follow manufacturer recommendations about distance of spray nozzle to whatever you're spraying - it might stain furniture if it drips! great product - you can almost watch the buggies dying as you spray. best of luck!

No it doesn't. Very soft plastic material. I already had bad rub marks from the seats you strap in, and there are no new marks. You could always put a kitchen cabinet liner underneath to be sure - since those have grip and won't make the surface slick. This chair has held up amazingly well. We are now over a year of usage.

It appears to be a brushed microfiber. It feels soft to the touch. I can also say I've had the chair for more than 3 months, and it is wonderfully stain resistant. You can wipe it clean, and I don't see any nap from people sitting in it, it still looks brand new.

I purchased the blue for one of my co-workers & haven't noticed this problem. I bought the white, which is more clear than white, but it has not discolored. I don't think they should discolor in that amount of time. I would hope it would wipe clean, but if the plastic is actually discolored, I might think about an exchange.

It seems to be a super-duper canvas of some kind :) Of course I don't know for sure, I didn't save the tags : ( but that's how it feels and looks. We have not left ours in constant sun exposure; but it has quite a bit of sun. We've had a beige one for three years, and now this one. We love them! The natural comfort of the fabric, plus the depth of the seat and the height of the back make this chair especially comfy for we older folks :)

from experience wood seats will stain over time. I have yet to find ANYWOOD SEAT THAT WILL NOT. TO PRICY FOR WOOD. WILL KEEP LOOKING.

I don't worry too much about it. The bottom is going to discolor, but no big deal! Adds to its charm! I just wipe the top and sides as needed. Add a little baking soda to add a bit of grit if it doesn't wipe off easily. But, like I said, I don't worry too much about it.

I've used it many times over varnished wood, and had very good results. Most people, these days, seem to skip the middle steps of sanding and wiping down, and are pleased enough with the results. I prefer to do it old school and reap the benefits. Even 1-2-3 will adhere better if you break the gloss, first. Your end results are only as good as your preparation. If the chair is old, it may be shellac and not actually varnish. Zinsser also makes a shellac-based product called B-I-N. Both work really well.
