22 in. Lattice Outdoor Decorative Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

This 22-inch ceramic garden stool ships with a glossy glaze that shrugs off rain and humidity, so you can leave it on the patio through spring and summer without worrying about the finish lifting or water staining the surface. The handcrafted lattice stool works as an outdoor side table, planter pedestal or extra seat, and it's available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Each piece is individually crafted, so the cutout pattern brings artisan texture to a deck or covered porch.

How Does a Glazed Ceramic Finish Hold Up to Weather?

The glossy ceramic glaze seals the surface against moisture and resists UV fade better than painted metal or untreated wood. Rain beads off without soaking in, and the color stays true through a summer of direct sun. That said, ceramic can crack if water freezes inside it, so you'll want to bring this stool into the garage or a covered storage area before the first hard freeze. It's built for year-round outdoor use in moderate climates where temperatures stay above freezing, and it handles coastal humidity without corroding the way iron or steel can.

Do You Need to Seal or Treat the Glaze?

No -- the glossy finish is fired onto the ceramic at the factory, and it doesn't need additional sealer or wax. You can wipe it down with a damp cloth whenever dust or pollen builds up, and you should skip harsh chemical cleaners that might dull the shine over time. At the end of the season, move the stool indoors before sustained freezing weather arrives, because ceramic will crack if water gets into a hairline fracture and then expands as ice.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 20-inch-square top is the right size to hold a drink and a book next to a lounge chair, or you can use it as a plant stand to lift a potted fern or succulent off the deck boards. The drum shape is stable enough for occasional seating when you need an extra perch, and the lattice cutouts keep it looking light even though ceramic has real weight. Pair it with pieces from the outdoor garden seats collection for a cohesive look, or cluster two stools as side tables flanking an outdoor accent chair. It works equally well indoors -- drop it next to a sofa as an end table or use it in an entryway as a sculptural pedestal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It can stay out year-round in climates where temperatures remain above freezing, but you should bring it indoors before the first hard freeze to prevent cracking.

Will the glossy finish fade in direct sun?

The glazed ceramic finish resists UV fade, so the color stays consistent through a summer of full sun exposure.

How do I store it over winter?
