Oxford Garden Mende Club Chair
Mende Collection
Mende Club Chair
A full size outdoor lounge chair, 34 inches across and 34.25 inches deep, wrapped in Blonde Cane Weave over a powder coated aluminum frame. The 18 inch seat and the deep cushions put it firmly in lounge territory rather than at a table.
- Genuinely wide, at 34 inches. That is as wide as a lot of indoor armchairs. Paired across a low table, two of them set the scale of a whole terrace.
- Blonde Cane Weave. Oxford Garden's synthetic cane, weave code W.BC and used on Mende only. Traditional caning look, commercial outdoor durability, no oiling and no splitting.
- Cast Ash is the stocked fabric. Mende is the one collection in the Oxford Garden line whose stocked cushion sits in Grade A rather than Grade 2A. Cast Ash, code AH, is it.
- An 18 inch seat. Matched to the Mende Sofa, so a chair and a sofa in the same group sit level with each other rather than a step apart.

Cushion and Fabric Options
Oxford Garden prices cushions by fabric grade. The cushion itself does not change between grades. Foam, cover construction and finished dimensions are identical; what changes is the Sunbrella fabric book you are choosing from, and that is what moves the price.
| Option | What it is | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cast Ash, Grade A | Cast Ash, the Grade A Sunbrella Oxford Garden stocks for Mende. | $4,350 |
| Grade B Sunbrella, made to order | The Grade B Sunbrella range, made to order in the fabric you pick. | $4,550 |
Materials and Construction
Frame. Marine grade aluminum, powder coated. Aluminum does not rust, so the frame does not depend on a coating staying perfect to survive, and it stays light enough that one person can move the piece without help. The powder coat is baked on rather than sprayed, which is why it holds at the joints where outdoor furniture usually fails first.
Weave. Blonde Cane Weave, Oxford Garden weave code W.BC and used on the Mende collection only. It is a synthetic cane that reads like traditional caning but is built for commercial duty outdoors, so it does not swell, split or mildew the way natural cane does when it is rained on.
Feet. Leg end caps are fitted at the factory so the frame does not mark decking, tile or stone when it is slid rather than lifted.
Cushions. Solution dyed acrylic. The color goes into the fiber before it is spun rather than being printed onto finished cloth, which is why these fabrics hold color in direct sun far longer than a conventional outdoor print.
What Is Included
- One Mende Club Chair, Blonde Cane Weave over a powder coated aluminum frame
- Seat and back cushions in the fabric grade you select
The powder coat finish is specified at order time and confirmed on your acknowledgment.
About Grade A on Mende
Oxford Garden prices cushions by fabric grade. The cushion itself does not change between grades. Foam, cover construction and finished dimensions are identical; what changes is the Sunbrella fabric book you are choosing from, and that is what moves the price.
| Grade | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Grade A | Cast Ash, code AH. This is the Sunbrella that Oxford Garden stocks for Mende, and Mende is the only collection in the line whose stocked cushion sits in Grade A rather than Grade 2A. |
| Grade B | The Grade B Sunbrella range, made to order in the fabric you pick. |
Oxford Garden also accepts COM and SOF orders, meaning your own material or a special order fabric outside the standard grades. Those are quoted individually.

Care and Maintenance
Cushions. Brush off loose dirt, sponge with mild soap and lukewarm water, rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not machine dry. Bring cushions in or cover them when the piece is not in use for long stretches.
Blonde Cane Weave. Rinse and wipe with mild soap and water, using a soft brush along the weave rather than across it. It needs no oiling or sealing, which is the practical difference from natural cane.
Powder coated aluminum. Wash with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners, which dull the finish. Touch up a deep scratch promptly so salt and grit have nothing to work at.
Off season. The powder coated aluminum frame can stay outside all year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B?
They are fabric price tiers, not different cushions. Foam, cover construction and finished dimensions are identical on both. Grade A is stocked here in Cast Ash. Grade B opens a wider Sunbrella range and is made to order in whichever fabric you pick.
Why is Mende's stocked cushion in Grade A rather than Grade 2A?
Because Oxford Garden stocks Cast Ash for this collection rather than Bliss Linen. Mende is the only collection in the line where that is true, which is worth knowing if you are comparing grade letters across collections.
What is Blonde Cane Weave?
Blonde Cane Weave is Oxford Garden's synthetic cane, weave code W.BC, used on Mende and on nothing else in the line. It gives the look of traditional caning with commercial outdoor durability, so it does not swell, split or mildew the way natural cane does once it has been rained on.
How much room does a pair need?
Each chair is 34 inches wide and 34.25 inches deep. Two facing across a coffee table wants roughly nine feet of terrace end to end, and about seven feet front to front, before it starts to feel crowded.
Does it match the Mende Sofa?
Yes, deliberately. Both sit at 18 inches and both are 34.25 inches deep, so a chair pulled up beside the sofa lines up at the seat and the arm rather than stepping up or down.
Can I leave it outside all year?
The frame and the cane weave can stay out without concern. The cushions last a great deal longer stored dry or kept under a cover when the chair is not in use for weeks at a time.
How is it delivered?
By LTL freight to the curb with lift gate service, on a palletized shipment. The carton is 35 by 35 by 31 inches at 56 pounds. The driver brings it to the curb and no further.
What else is in the Mende collection?
A side chair, a club chair and a sofa, all built on the same Blonde Cane Weave and powder coated aluminum. The club chair and sofa share an 18 inch seat height and a 34.25 inch depth, so they sit level with each other around a low table.
