Is this chair weather-resistant?

Actually we use them indoors or on the deck at our cabin though they seem sturdy enough for more rigorous use. Given the low price I was please with what I bought.

I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, but I think if you got caught in a rain it would be ok. I would dry it as soon as you could tho. The chair is metal base with a seat and back that's like a sturdy vinyl-canvas material. I think it's well made but should be stored inside when not in use. Would last longer.

We haven't time tested it in the weather for long periods but I would think it would hold up fairly well.

I retrned the chair because it was such a terrible design and extremely uncomfortable, so I don't know about the weatherproof part.

I would think that it's somewhat weather resistant. Like other comments, I wouldn't leave it out all the time and would dry it off when possible. We use them tailgating and it's a decent chair for the money. Yes, not that comfortable but what do you expect for under $15.

I would say that its weather resistant. I would not buy this chair again the angle of the backrest is to far back.

Yes, I only use my chairs outdoors and after two years, they are still in very good condition. The pads can take some beating and will get weathered as one would expect. I am in DC and we have hot, humid summers and decent winters so the pads and chairs to get tested. I wouldn't think twice about using them outside and I think you can expect the chairs themselves to last at least five years, while the pads could probably go three if you want them looking like a 4 out of 5 condition. I hope this helps.

We have ours out exposed to the weather and have not had any issues with it. So I would say yes!

Not sure. We have had the chair for over a year and its been durable and well built. The chair is well built and I expect years of service out of it.

I live near the coast of NJ and have had the chairs for several years now. I keep them outside and covered from End of Oct thru Mar/Apr. I have never had a problem.

I bought the chair and swing this summer. The high humidity and weather changes do not seem to have been a problem. We are not planning on treating the set. The only piece that has changed is the table which is made of pine not cedar.

Everything seems to be weather resistant as far as I can tell. Mine has been left out in the rain a couple of times and is showing no ill effects from it.

Adirondack chairs are typically made to be weather resistant, but I'm not taking a chance with this one. Even though the Amazon description says it is made out of eucalyptus (a good wood for outdoor use), there was no packing info verifying this claim. I also question all-white anything outdoors--it doesn't take much to start looking dirty. This chair does come in a brown stain, which might camouflage dirt better and a stain may hold up better outdoors than white paint. Another reviewer who bought the brown chair had this to say, "Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the "new" look and ensure a longer life."

I bought these chairs last summer and they have held up well. The cushions are fade/stain resistant, but I sprayed with Scotchguard for extra protection since I live in the ultra-humid Deep South.

Yes chairs are a resin wicker which is water proof but the cushions are "weather resistant". You cant consider them water proof unless they don't retain any water when fully submerged.

The chair probably could be taken apart a few times before the wood would be overused and the screws might loosen. I have had this chair on my deck in New Mexico sun, and it has been a dream to use. I have a canvas cover for it and have noticed some fading on the wood that is constantly exposed. A good tung oil application will bring the chair back in the spring. Keep in mind we have 360 days of sun and I am at 5000 ft. It is a great buy for the price.

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

We have had the set for about 8 weeks. It is on an uncovered patio near a pool. There is a metal bar on the back of the chairs about 8 inches from the top of the fabric. My guess is they are not aluminum as the chair frames are supposed to be. They started to exhibit a slight bit of rust on a few chairs by the welds on these bars. We bought some black rustoleum spray paint and that took care of the problem. Not sure what you mean by weather proof. They dry very quickly after being rained on.

I live in Tennessee and they are on a covered porch. I leave them out year round and while they are not exposed to rain they get the west sun and there has been no fading at all. They are great looking, comfortable chairs!

I concur with Joel. The chairs are fine for outside temporarily, but the joints will rust.
