What is the seat back made of under the vinyl? Will it rot?

I am verry pleased with mine. I don't know what's under the vinyl, but the quality of everything you can see is good. My son and i sit in together (verry tight) and we are both over 300 lbs and it is holding up great.The ice chest works better than any other ice chest that i have had.

I have one and love it. Not sure what is under the seat back, but I assume it is plastic, like the base. I have had it in Baja, and all along the West Coast on my boat and it has been flawless.

Hi, 1) the back does recline. The whole recline mechanism works quite easy. 2) the material looks and feels almost like a real leather. Pretty close to a real deal. And it is a mix of a real leather with some other material. Definitely does not feel like a vinyl. About the sweating... We didn't have that problem so far. But every person and every skin is different so can't really answer on that one. It should be fine. Hope this helps.

The box is made of sturdy metal and serves quite well to protect your vinyl. The inside is lined with a thin felt. The black paint will scratch and peel over time, but I've had mine about 2 years, and use it often, and it's just begun to show those signs of true wear. Hope this helps!

Good morning, A.Peck. I apologize for the delayed response. Yes, the fabric will hold up outdoors. The seat is made out of nylon, which is durable and weatherproof. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna - HearthSong Customer Service

Amazon asked me to comment on your question because I purchased this item over a year ago. I just looked at it again... the material used looks like wood, but it can't splinter you. Is is a sealed material, and has held up extremely well. The seat is great and I would highly recommend it. It looks like a cherry colored wood, but today so many materials look and feel like something they are not!

The seat cushions are black vinyl. I intend to cover them (leaving the black vinyl) with a heavy fabric that goes well with my dcor soon. The black vinyl seat cover looks nice and has been very durable, considering I have lots of grandkids who spend time with me. I haven't hurried to re-cover these seats for this reason.

Outside inside, this is a well made sturdy chair. The vinyl seat covers are thick and wears well. I only use my chairs indoors so I can't speak on any rust issues you might have in left out in the rain.

The cushions are not covered in vinyl, but it is resistant to moisture, mold etc. I have Stored it in an unheated garage over the winter and it is like the day I bought it.

The bottom is a sturdy plastic material and looks like it would hold up in a damp spot. The back is a canvas material, the same as the rest of the seat and would probably hold up to moisture.

There's no vinyl backing. The material is slightly smoother on the back than the front.

I have had one for two months outside ,and I would recommend that you seal the seat screw holes with possibly a caulk or rust prevented (Rustolium ) as this is the only criticism I have of this chair.I found that within a week or so,rustmarks were appearing. I have already bought a second one and will be certainly be doing that. The paint finish is probably a polyurethane finish ,that would be just a guess!

I know it is MDF, it is not vinyl veneer. However, the back of the unit is a rigid piece of cardboard that is affixed to the frame by nails. Had I known this beforehand, I probably wouldn't have bought it. But I have it up against a wall, so no one sees the cardboard.

The legs and cross bars are all aluminum with canvas fabric so no rust there. Only metal parts are the pins holding the joints together. I would spray the joints with plasti dip or rubber spray before I left it outside. And the canvas will rot after a few years of constant sunlight. You may want a plastic chair. This chair is better suited for throwing in the truck or camper after use.

The seat is mostly vinyl except for a cloth mesh material on the rear side and rear part of the seat.

The seat cover is made of a soft plastic with a vinyl-like backing. It is very thin and would not protect against wetness on the seat. It is pretty much an easy way to cover the entire seat (sides included) rather than using the standard toilet seat covers or toilet paper that do not stay in place.
