Broyhill Asheville Outdoor Furniture Collection
Our Asheville 4-piece conversation set brings resort-quality comfort to your backyard with handwoven all-weather wicker over powder-coated steel frames. The set includes two deep-cushioned club chairs, a matching loveseat, and a tempered glass-top coffee table designed for daily outdoor use.
Each seat features 5-inch thick cushions upholstered in fade-resistant Sunbrella fabric that stands up to sun, rain, and poolside splashes. We engineered the frame geometry for ergonomic support during long conversations, while the elevated base allows water drainage and simplifies underneath cleaning.
Construction & materials
Materials Engineered for Year-Round Outdoor Durability
Every piece in the Broyhill Asheville outdoor furniture collection combines commercial-grade materials selected for performance in extreme weather. Our handwoven polyethylene wicker resists UV degradation, cracking, and color fade even after years of direct sun exposure. Unlike natural rattan, this synthetic wicker maintains flexibility in freezing temperatures and won’t become brittle in desert heat.
The powder-coated steel and aluminum frames undergo a multi-stage coating process that creates a barrier against moisture intrusion and rust formation. We test each frame design in salt-spray chambers simulating coastal environments to ensure the finish holds up in high-humidity climates. The elevated base design on all seating pieces allows water to drain freely rather than pooling around joints where corrosion typically starts.
Sizing Guidelines and Space Planning
The Asheville 4-piece conversation set requires a minimum footprint of 8 feet by 10 feet to allow comfortable walkways around all seats. We recommend leaving 24 to 30 inches of clearance behind chairs for easy entry and exit. The coffee table positions 16 to 18 inches from seat fronts for convenient reach without obstructing legroom.
For dining configurations, the 72-inch table comfortably accommodates six standard dining chairs with 24 inches of space per person. Plan for 36 to 42 inches of clearance on all sides of the table to allow guests to push back chairs and navigate around seated diners. The swivel rocker chairs work well as end seats at the dining table, providing extra mobility for hosts serving food.
Weather Protection and Maintenance Care
While Broyhill Asheville outdoor furniture withstands year-round exposure, we recommend protective covers during extended periods of non-use to minimize dirt accumulation and prolong finish life. The wicker surface cleans easily with mild soap and water applied with a soft brush, followed by a garden hose rinse. Avoid pressure washers, which can force water into frame joints and compromise cushion fill.
Cushion covers unzip for machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle. We recommend air-drying rather than machine drying to prevent shrinkage that makes reinstallation difficult. For quick refreshing between full washes, spot-clean spills immediately with a damp cloth to prevent staining. The Sunbrella fabric resists most food and beverage stains when addressed promptly.

Asheville Collection Buying Questions
Yes, all Asheville pieces are engineered for year-round outdoor exposure. The powder-coated frames resist rust in all climates, and the PE wicker withstands temperature extremes from below freezing to over 100°F without cracking. We do recommend storing cushions indoors during winter in regions with heavy snow or extended freezing temperatures to prevent moisture absorption. Furniture covers provide additional protection during months of non-use but aren’t required for frame durability.
Clean the wicker surface with a solution of mild dish soap and warm water applied with a soft-bristled brush, then rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. For cushions, unzip the Sunbrella covers and machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, then air-dry completely before reinstalling. Spot-clean spills on cushions immediately with a damp cloth to prevent staining. Avoid pressure washers on wicker, as high-pressure water can damage the weave pattern and force moisture into frame joints.
Each individual seat in the Asheville collection supports up to 300 pounds, including club chairs, loveseat positions, and swivel rockers. The dining table supports 200 pounds of evenly distributed weight, which easily accommodates place settings, serving dishes, and centerpieces for six diners. We engineer all frames with commercial-grade materials that exceed residential use requirements, providing a safety margin well above stated capacities.
Yes, we stock replacement cushions in all four Sunbrella fabric colors for every Asheville seating piece. You can purchase individual seat cushions, back cushions, or complete cushion sets through our website or authorized dealers. We also maintain inventory of common replacement parts including leveling feet, hardware kits, and umbrella hole plugs. Cushion covers are available separately if you only need to replace the fabric rather than the foam insert.
The conversation set requires 60 to 90 minutes of assembly for two people, connecting frame pieces with included hardware and attaching legs to seat bases. The dining table ships mostly assembled and needs only leg attachment, taking about 15 minutes. Swivel rocker chairs arrive fully assembled and ready to use immediately. We include all necessary tools, hardware, and detailed photo instructions with every order, plus online video guides accessible via QR code.
The acacia wood receives a multi-stage weatherproof sealing treatment that protects against UV damage, moisture intrusion, and temperature-related expansion. Some natural wood color variation may occur over time as the wood develops a silvered patina, which many customers prefer for its aged look. To maintain the original honey-brown tone, apply outdoor wood sealer annually. The slatted construction design minimizes cracking by allowing the wood to expand and contract naturally with humidity changes.
Absolutely. We test all Asheville frames in salt-spray chambers simulating coastal environments to ensure rust resistance in high-humidity and saltwater exposure conditions. The powder-coating process creates a moisture barrier that prevents corrosion even in oceanfront locations. The PE wicker won’t absorb moisture or develop mildew like natural materials. Many customers successfully use Asheville furniture within sight of the ocean. For maximum longevity in extreme coastal conditions, rinse frames monthly with fresh water to remove salt accumulation.
