Overlay Olefin Fabric Outdoor Counter Stool

Details at a Glance

Solid teak resists moisture and insects, the handwoven polyolefin rope holds color through full sun, and the aluminum X-stretcher is rust proof -- this counter stool stands up to UV, rain and temperature swings season after season. The Overlay Olefin Fabric Outdoor Counter Stool from Essentials For Living, a 27-inch seat-height outdoor counter stool, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The removable seat cushion is 100% olefin fabric over a foam core, quick-drying and stain-resistant for extended outdoor use.

How Well Does Solid Teak and Polyolefin Rope Handle Rain and Sun?

Teak naturally repels moisture and resists rot, and the multi-step polyurethane finish on this stool protects the grain while letting the wood weather gracefully outdoors. The handwoven polyolefin rope is engineered to resist UV fade and hold its oyster twist color through constant sun exposure, and it won't stretch or weaken when it gets wet. Aluminum reinforcement in the X-stretcher base won't rust in salt air or humid climates, so the structure stays solid year after year.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The teak frame, polyolefin rope and aluminum stretcher can stay outside through winter without damage. Store the olefin cushion during heavy rain or extreme weather to keep the foam core dry and extend its life -- the fabric itself is water-repellent and quick-drying, but it's not made for weeks of soaking rain or snow. Wipe down the teak and rope with water if dirt or pollen builds up, and the finish will protect the wood without needing oil.

Where Does This Counter Stool Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Pull it up to an outdoor counter-height table on a covered porch or poolside bar where the 27-inch seat height puts you at the right level for dining and conversation. Pair two or three of these stools with a bar table from the outdoor counter tables collection for a full entertaining setup, or mix them with pieces from the outdoor bar stools range to create flexible seating zones. The oyster and white-speckle palette layers easily with other neutrals in outdoor counter dining sets, and the stool transitions indoors if you want matching seating between a kitchen island and a patio bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this counter stool stay outside all year?

The teak frame, polyolefin rope and aluminum base can remain outdoors year-round in all climates. Store the olefin cushion during heavy rain or extreme cold to protect the foam core.

Will the rope fade in direct sun?

No -- the polyolefin rope is UV resistant and engineered to hold its oyster twist color through seasons of full sun exposure without fading or weakening.

Is it suitable for a coastal or salt-air location?

Yes. Teak resists moisture naturally, aluminum is rust proof, and polyolefin rope won't corrode or discolor in salt air, so this stool performs well on beachfront patios and docks.

Does teak need to be oiled?

Not on this stool. The multi-step polyurethane finish protects the wood and enhances the grain, so you don't need to apply teak oil -- just wipe it down with water to remove dirt.

Are the cushions weather resistant?

The 100% olefin fabric is water-repellent and quick-drying, but the cushion is not designed for prolonged heavy rain or winter snow. Bring it inside or under cover during storms.

What's included with my order, and is assembly required?
