Know before you buy
Teak is naturally weather-resistant and requires very little maintenance. If left untreated, the wood will gradually transition from its original honey-brown color to a soft, silver-gray patina. If you prefer to maintain the original color, you can apply a teak sealer periodically.
Phifertex is a high-performance, outdoor-rated fabric designed to resist fading, mold, and mildew. It is specifically engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to sun and moisture, making it an excellent choice for poolside or garden environments.
Yes, the chair features a folding mechanism that allows it to collapse into a compact profile. This makes it simple to tuck away in a shed, garage, or closet during the off-season or when you need to clear extra space on your patio.
While the chair is stable on flat surfaces, the frame is designed for standard patio or deck use. If placing it on soft ground like grass, ensure the surface is level to prevent the legs from sinking or the chair from wobbling.
The seat height is 19 inches, which is standard for most dining chairs. It should fit comfortably under most outdoor dining tables, though you may want to measure the clearance of your specific table's apron to ensure the 26.5-inch arm height does not interfere.
