Outdoor Lounge Rocker Chair – Teak & Steel, Performance Fabric

Five upholstery options that split into two kinds. Two are boucle, Slate or Dove, each supplied with an all-weather cover. Three are Sunbrella performance fabric: Gradual in Clay, and two Pendleton patterns, Serape Stripe in Desert and Yakima Park in Green Heather. The frame is teak and steel.

The difference between the two upholstery groups is how each handles sun and water. Sunbrella is solution-dyed acrylic, with pigment locked into the fiber as it is extruded rather than applied to finished cloth, so a pattern like Serape Stripe does not lift out with exposure. The boucle options come with a cover instead, which is the way to run an indoor-weight fabric outdoors: uncovered while it is being used, covered when it is not.

A rocker with lounge proportions is a chair to stay in rather than pass through. Give it a deep covered porch or a shaded patio corner, with a side table in reach and clearance behind it for the rocking arc.
