While our frames are built from rust-proof aluminum, the reclining mechanism beneath the cushions is engineered from steel that's zinc-plated and then e-coated — a two-stage, rust-resistant treatment made for the outdoors. This dual-layer finish is what keeps every swivel, glide, and recline moving smoothly season after season.
