Two-Tone 18"H Green Apple Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

This handcrafted ceramic stool gets its weather resistance from a semiglossy glaze that stands up to moisture and UV exposure in covered outdoor areas. The Emissary Two-Tone Green Apple garden stool stands 18 in. tall on a 13-inch-square footprint, serving as an extra seat, plant stand, or side table for covered patios and indoor rooms, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You'll use it most where you need a pop of color and a surface that doesn't take up much floor space.

How Well Does the Ceramic Glaze Hold Up Outside?

The semiglossy glaze provides real weather resistance for covered outdoor use -- it won't absorb water or fade in UV light the way untreated ceramic would. You can leave this stool on a covered patio through rain and sun without the glaze dulling or the color washing out. Ceramic doesn't rust, doesn't warp in heat, and won't crack from moisture as long as it stays above freezing. The material itself is dense and nonporous once fired, so mildew has nothing to latch onto.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, you should store this stool indoors if your area drops below freezing. Ceramic can crack when water absorbed into hairline surface fissures expands as it freezes -- even weather-resistant glaze won't prevent that kind of structural damage. Before the first freeze, wipe it down with a damp cloth, let it dry, and move it into a garage, shed, or basement. In climates that stay mild year-round, you can leave it out under cover indefinitely.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Use it anywhere you need an extra surface but don't have room for a full side table -- next to a lounge chair, at the end of a sectional, or clustered with other outdoor garden seats for flexible seating. It pairs well with outdoor bar stools and outdoor counter stools when you want varied heights in one space. The 13-inch footprint fits easily into balcony corners or small courtyard nooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this garden stool stay outside all year?

It's weather-resistant for covered outdoor use in warm months, but you should bring it indoors before freezing temperatures to prevent cracking.

Will the green apple finish fade in direct sun?

The semiglossy glaze is UV-resistant and won't fade noticeably in sun, though covered placement extends the life of any outdoor finish.

How do I store it over winter?

Wipe it clean with a damp cloth, let it dry completely, and move it into a garage or shed before the first freeze.

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

Yes, ceramic doesn't corrode in salt air the way metal does, so it's a solid choice for covered coastal patios.

Can I use this as a side table?

Yes, the 13 in. square top provides a stable surface for drinks, plants, books, or decor.

Does this stool require assembly or does it ship fully assembled?

It arrives ready to use -- no assembly needed. Standard delivery is free curbside shipping to the continental USA.
