Rhodes Dining Chair
A study in reductive modernism, the Rhodes Dining Chair celebrates the inherent strength and beauty of solid timber.

Prado Outdoor is committed to providing high-quality outdoor furniture for both residential and hospitality (commercial) use. Our warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the specified periods below, effective from the date of purchase (original invoice required). While we stand behind our products, normal wear and tear or misuse is not covered. The warranty is offered to the original purchaser and is non-transferable. Warranty coverage differs for residential vs. commercial use as noted:
- Frames (Aluminum, Steel, Teak): Residential – 3 Years, Commercial – 2 Years. Covers structural integrity of furniture frames in normal use. Components like foot glides or hardware are not considered part of the frame and may wear with use. This warranty excludes finish changes due to weather or use.
- Outdoor Fabrics (Cushion Covers & Upholstery): Residential – 5 Years, Commercial – 3 Years. Covers fading or disintegration of solution-dyed acrylic fabrics under normal exposure. Stains, mildew, or damage from improper cleaning are not manufacturing defects.
- Woven Rope & Sling Materials (e.g. Batyline® mesh): Residential – 5 Years, Commercial – 3 Years. Covers breakage or significant deterioration of Batyline slings, vinyl straps, and woven polymer rope materials.
- Cushion Construction (Seams): Residential – lifetime, Commercial – 10 Year. Covers manufacturing defects in cushion sewing, such as seam slippage or zipper failure. Routine softening or compression of cushions is normal wear and not a defect.
- Outdoor Cushion Foam Inserts: 1 Year (Residential or Commercial). Covers loss of resiliency beyond normal softening of high-density outdoor foam. To maximize lifespan, avoid waterlogging cushions and allow them to dry out if they get wet.
- Table Tops – Glass: 2 Years. Covers manufacturing defects in tempered glass table tops. Chips, scratches, or breaks due to impact or misuse are not covered. Always inspect glass upon delivery.
- Table Tops – Ceramic & Porcelain (Laminam®): 2 Years. Covers structural defects like cracking not caused by external impact. Minor color variations or texture differences in ceramic slabs are natural and not considered defects. Use proper care to avoid thermal shock.
- Table Tops – Natural Stone (Granite, Marble, etc.): 2 Years. Covers structural defects unrelated to natural stone characteristics. Color/grain variations or surface pits are inherent and not covered.
- Umbrellas & Bases: 1 Year. Covers manufacturer defects in outdoor umbrellas and bases. Wind damage or tipping is not covered.
- Protective Furniture Covers: 10 Year. Prado’s optional covers are warranted against seam tearing or delamination. Fading or degradation from exposure is considered normal wear.
Note: All warranty periods begin on the date of shipment or purchase. Residential covers private home use; Commercial covers hospitality, contract, or any non-residential use. Prado Outdoor may repair or replace defective components at our discretion. Replacement under warranty does not extend the original warranty period.
Designer Notes
"We approached the Rhodes Chair as a piece of functional sculpture. The goal was to create a silhouette that felt grounded and permanent, yet visually quiet enough to let the surrounding landscape breathe. The wide plank arms and deep-seated frame offer a sense of enclosure and luxury that is rare in outdoor seating. It anchors the dining table with an understated authority."
Rhodes Dining Chair faqs
The Rhodes Collection is delivered in its natural, honey-gold state. Because we use only Grade-A teak a rich in natural protective oils the wood will gradually weather to a distinguished, silvery-grey patina when exposed to sunlight and air. This transformation is purely cosmetic and does not affect the timber's strength or durability. It is the signature characteristic of genuine, high-quality teak.
We generally recommend against sealing. Oiling the wood can trap moisture and encourage mildew, disrupting the timber's natural breathing process. The teak’s inherent oil content provides all the protection it needs against rot and decay. For regular maintenance, a simple wash with mild soap, water, and a soft-bristle brush is sufficient to keep the surface clean.
Our cushions are engineered for superior weather resistance, featuring quick-dry reticulated foam and high-performance fabrics that resist moisture, mildew, and fading. However, they are water-repellent, not fully waterproof. To ensure their longevity and performance, we recommend covering the cushions or storing them in a dry place during heavy rain or harsh winter months.
Absolutely. The Rhodes Collection is specifically designed for coastal resilience. Grade-A teak is naturally impervious to salt corrosion, and we utilize marine-grade hardware for all joinery. The weight of the solid teak construction also ensures the furniture remains grounded and stable, even in blustery seaside conditions.
