Strathwood Balboa Deep Seat Corner Chair with Cushion

This product is currently out of stock
Description:

Handsomely designed and built to last, this cushioned corner chair offers a modular style that can be used on its own or in concert with other pieces from the Strathwood Balboa outdoor furniture collection. Create a sectional arrangement with the center seat and chaise lounge from the collection, which also includes an ottoman. The chair is made of a dense and highly durable hardwood with a fine-sanded, oil-stained finish in a warm, mahogany brown tone. It features blocky, square chair footings and a wide, slatted construction on its seat and back. The deep seat has a gently angled back for a relaxing recline. The chair measures 34-1/4 inches square, with the back rising 33 inches tall from the floor. It weighs 49.6 pounds. Assembly is easy, with all parts and hardware included. The chair comes with a 4-1/2-inch-thick seat cushion with a durable, heavy polyester canvas cover in a natural tone, as well as a 4-1/2-inch-thick back cushion with a Velcro fastener that loops through the slats.

Cushion Care and Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt before it becomes embedded in the fabric and wipe up any spills as soon as they occur. Gently spot clean only with mild soap and cool water using a sponge or soft brush, then air dry cushions in a sunny location. Bring cushions indoors during inclement weather and store in a dry place when not in use.

Please note that upholstered items purchased on different occasions over time may have a slight variation in hue. There is the potential for variation in the hue of any fabric, depending upon the light source in which it is viewed. For outdoor fabrics, sunlight is the source textile manufacturers use to verify hue accuracy. In addition, a slight variation in hue is normally expected between rolls of like fabric, since no two can be produced to come out exactly the same.

Crafted from durable, Earthy-friendly eucalyptus hardwood, this furniture is intended for outdoor use in all weather. A beautiful hardwood comparable to teak and with excellent weather-resistant properties, eucalyptus is dense and naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. Certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), there is no doubt about the responsible production and consumption of this wood. The rapid growth of eucalyptus trees makes them more readily available and more easily affordable. In addition, furniture constructed of eucalyptus is light enough to move easily and requires no oiling unless to maintain a desired look.

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.

After eucalyptus furniture has weathered, it can be restored if desired by sanding down the surface, cleaning it, and then applying oil to prevent more weathering. To clean it, mix one tablespoon of bleach, five tablespoons of a gentle dishwashing liquid, and a gallon of water, and gently scrub the mixture on the surface of the wood with a soft bristle brush. Rinse the solution from the furniture, and allow it to dry completely in the sun. Developed for use in high humidity, the furniture is best not stored in centrally heated areas, as that could lead to excessive drying out of the wood.

Wood that becomes saturated with water and left over an extended period without drying out is more likely to warp and rot. The bases of furniture legs are probably the most vulnerable when it comes to water damage. If wood furniture is kept in the grass, at the poolside, or on a surface that collects rain water, the legs can become saturated. Covering the bottoms of each leg with rubberized material or small sections of cedar fencing material will help protect furniture from rotting from the bottom up.

Strathwood furniture has quality, ease of use, and casual elegance at its core. Each piece is rigorously tested for durability, and assembly instructions have been standardized for simplicity from start to finish. Strathwood furniture is sleekly designed, handsomely finished, and built to last. This classic style and reliable craftsmanship will weather ever-changing trends and regular use for years to come.

4nuts and bolts  Jul 25, 2008
By Johan Styles
bought two armless chairs and the ottoman and corner chair. the ottoman went together quite easily...but when assembling the corner chair it's best to be VERY careful in which order you screw all the nuts and bolts in. there is one bolt inparticular....that if you wait till the end to add it, you quite literally have to take the whole thing apart and start over.

also....i do NOT recommend assmebling this thing alone. it takes two people....one to hold up the slats and pieces while another screws it all in.

the overall quality of the chair is very nice tho. built in vietnam (so the sticker says) and all the wood joints fit well. the assembly instructions could have been drawn out clearer.

one other piece of advice....this chair is MUCH larger than i imagined (and yes i measured it out before buying). it would not fit thru my door to my patio, so i had to undo everything and start over. you have been warned!

one last thing....im not a fan of the white cushions...but i noticed places like Pottery Barn have colored replacements you can order if you dont like the stark white.

3Great product but may be difficult to maintain  Sep 22, 2009
By E. Rempel "Cacahuete"
I purchased several pieces from the Starthwood Balboa series about a year and a half ago. I made the mistake of not protecting from the weather when I first got it. After the first summer, it was covered in mold. I tried to get it steam cleaned. This did not work. The only way to clean mold is by using bleach (good thing the product is white!). So I had to remove the covers on all my cushions - which was quite difficult. Then I placed the covers in a top loader washing machine in cold water and lots of bleach. I let it soak overnight and then I did a few rinses to get as much of the chlorine smell out. I had to do several batches since I had so many covers. I dryed it on a low heat setting since I didn't want them to shrink. This got out most of the stains. Do not wash in hot water, this seems to set the stains instead of take them out. Once the covers were all clean and dry, I put them back on the cushions - a real pain in the neck! When removing and putting the covers on the cushions, a good technique is to fold the cushion in half and then shimmy the covers on or off. After all the covers were back on the cushions, I sprayed them with a mold inhibitor (I used 303 High Tech Fabric Guard - you can order it online). Our patio furniture is in a gazebo so I put up curtains to keep out most of the rain and wind. This helped to keep the furniture nice and clean. This year I won't have to go through the bleaching ordeal.

4Nice, sturdy furniture for indoor or outdoor use  Nov 13, 2009
By Amy L
I bought 2 corner pieces and put them facing each other, creating a loveseat. I needed something modular for my office, which is a pretty small room, and this works perfectly. I have an antique oak drawing table in there as well as very old oak floors, and to my delight this "kapur" wood went really well with those finishes. It is a dull finish, which I think is why it works. The cushions are really firm, probably good for sitting outdoors but kind of rigid for an indoor room. The covers are a muslin--type fabric that is sort of a yellowish-white. It probably looks nice and crisp outdoors, but indoors it's a little too yellow, so I am going to try Rit as one of the reviewers mentioned. The assembly is not bad--but there is one important trick to it (the corner seat piece only). You have to be sure to slip 2 of the cams into the holes on the front right edge (according to the pic here)--you slip them in but don't fasten them with a screw until the side piece has been installed. The instructions do not mention this at all, and then you end up with a loose side piece and 2 extra cams! So make sure you slip them in before putting on the side piece, and I even held the cams in position temporarily with two screws until right before taking them straight out carefully and sliding the side piece on.

5Great sectional  Aug 13, 2008
By anim8t
I ordered 4 pieces from the strathwood balboa set (armless chair, corner chair, chaise and ottoman to form a sectional) and I LOVE them. I checked out a very similar sectional at Pottery Barn for over $3000 and I'm so glad that I bought this one instead. It arrived on time, in great condition. Amazon service was incredible when one of the pieces was held up, they made sure it arrived on time. It was relatively easy to put together, but did require a little muscle. Once assembled, it is rock solid and really great looking. The cushions are very firm and look terrific in cream, but wont stay clean for long. I don't think they are weather resistant but the whole set is so affordable. I think I'll dye them a taupe or chocolate color to hide the wear. Great furniture, great service, great buy!!!!

3You get what you pay for...  Oct 28, 2009
By Cul Mum
After owning this set for 6 months, I would have to say they are not the same quality as higher-end teak furniture.

** The wood needed to be sealed as soon as it arrived.
** Assembly should have been easy if the holes were better aligned.
** It is a heavy, Sturdy product.
** the fabric is AWEFUL for outdoors. Don't buy it and expect NOT to get it recovered. We don't even use it because we wanted to keep it looking nice for special occasions, but it STILL look horrible just from the elements. This set sits next to a table chair set that is 5 years old and the fabric on it looks brand new. The Balboa set is moldy, mildewy and stained.
** The cushions are hard as a rock! Seriously!
**So they look great for a few weeks, that's it! Now I need ot get them recovered and re-sealed.
