Outdoor Garden Seats
A garden seat is the drum-shaped stool that does three jobs: a spare seat when the neighbours stop by, a side table beside a lounge chair, a stand for a big fern. They started as Chinese porcelain seats and still look right on a modern deck.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a ceramic garden seat stay outside?
- Spring through autumn, yes; the glaze sheds rain. Bring it in before a hard freeze, since water in a chip can split fired ceramic. Concrete seats stay out all year.
- Will the colour fade?
- No. Glaze colour is fired into the surface, so sun doesn't lift it the way it lifts paint. Concrete is pigmented through the body.
- Can I actually sit on it?
- Yes, they're built as seats. The height and top diameter are on each product page; many stand close to chair-seat height, which is what makes them useful as an extra seat.
- How do I use one as a table?
- Pick a flat top and a height an inch or two under the chair arm beside it. Pierced designs still have a solid centre wide enough for a drink and a book.
- How does it ship?
- Free curbside to the continental US, packed for parcel or freight depending on the weight, in one piece.
