Can these chairs stay outside all year long in a Mid-Atlantic climate?

I kept my chairs out in the cold of the midwest winter and they are still picture perfect! I don't know if they could stand another cold winter with the snow & ice, but they still look very nice after this winter!

Mine were out this past winter in Colorado and don't seem worse for the wear. The "wicker" is actually a type of plastic and they seem pretty durable but I have only had them less than a year.

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 second Bonnie's answer; we have kept ours outside in NY as well (during Summer, Fall and now Winter) and it is holding up very well.

They are plastic designed to look like wicker, so yes to all weather. The frame is also plastic, no iron, and it's all one piece that easily snaps into place. They look nice and are comfortable, but you'll want a thick towel or pad if you're sitting for long. I really like them.

I have had them for two years in shade and they have held up great. They are almost like rock, so I don't think Sun will affect them much.

I have only had these 2 chairs for a month and they set out in the direct sun (100+ degrees) and rain. The type of fabric used dries quickly after the rain and I believe they are perfectly fine for all weather. I am bringing mine inside for winter.

Mine are outside, but on a covered porch. I've had them for 1 summer and they have held up well, but have not been directly in the sun or weather. The front seems to be a sturdy outdoor fabric, but the back is a softer fabric so may not fare well in harsh conditions.

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.

I have never used them outdoors. I purchased them at Christmas time due to a large family gathering. The chairs are very nice and extremely sturdy. I would recommend them I think they will hold up well for mild outdoor use.

No, the chairs are not stackable. This was not a concern for me as I will leave then on my deck year round. If I recall correctly they are cast aluminum and shouldn't be effected by the weather.

Impossible to answer without a crystal ball. Will they be kept in full sun?, left out year around. They are very sturdy and well built, but like all material the amount of care that they are given has bearing on their useful lifetimes...just like people.

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 them out all summer (put away in the winter) for 3 summers in New Jersey weather. They have held up beautifully for us. No issues at all. Hope this helps!

I think they will work for a season or two if you don't slide the chairs around when someone is sitting in them. The plastic/nylon will eventually wear down even on wood floors.

I live in northern New England and while my chair sits out from April to November I do store it away for winter. That said the temp extremes up here can be significant even in those months so I suspect this chair will survive the winter.

I keep them outside for entire year. I live in Minneapolis area so we had a pretty rough winter and they look pretty good. They could use a power washing but have no signs of break down. I recommend.

Absolutely! We have only a portion of our patio covered. These chairs stay outside 24/7 and one or two are always in the open area of the patio.

I wouldn't. I live in Florida and we get a fair amount of rain. Every time it rains the legs fill with rain water and I have to invert the chairs so they drain. When I called RST, they wouldn't help and said if I made any changes to the chairs it would void the warranty.
