The Montauk Nest Chair from West Elm Fuses Rustic and Modern Details

— May 16, 2014 — Art & Design
Fusing rustic and modern design details, the Montauk Nest Chair from home retailer West Elm helps one create the perfect backyard escape. This cocooned furniture piece is made from a all-weather wicker material, making it suitable for outdoor use.

The lightweight chair is woven atop an aluminum frame that features a sturdy and rust-proof design. This piece will turn your pool deck into a tropical paradise and will not be damaged when left outside during rain or shine.

Measuring 48" in width by 44" in depth by 32" in height, West Elm's Montauk Nest Chair comes complete with a small and comfortable seat cushion featured in a neutral tone. Moreover, a protective outdoor cover for the chair is also available at the retailer but is sold separately.
