Square Tropez Outdoor Ottoman Taupe Rope

Details at a Glance

This ottoman's solid teak frame naturally resists moisture, rot and insects, while its Grey Teak finish accelerates the wood's signature aging process to develop a silver-gray tone that changes beautifully with sun and rain exposure. The Tropez outdoor ottoman by Essentials For Living with removable olefin cushion is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 36.5 inches wide and 24 inches deep, it works as a footrest, extra seat or low table across your modular patio arrangement.

How Well Does Solid Teak Handle Rain and Sun?

Teak's natural oils repel water and resist decay season after season, making it one of the most durable hardwoods for full outdoor exposure. This piece uses solid teak construction treated with a finish that speeds the natural weathering to grey -- UV rays and moisture won't rot the wood but will continue to deepen its patina over time. The 100% olefin cushion fabric resists UV fading and sheds water, so color stays truer than standard outdoor textiles even in direct sun. Polyolefin rope accents also stand up to moisture and won't mildew or fray from humidity.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

The teak base can stay outside year-round -- cold won't crack it and snow won't rot it. Bring the cushion indoors or into a dry shed during months of heavy rain or snow to extend the foam's lifespan and keep the cover cleaner. If you leave the cushion out, a waterproof furniture cover will protect it from standing water and dirt accumulation. Teak naturally develops small cracks and surface marks as it ages; these are cosmetic and part of the wood's evolving character, not structural damage.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Use it as a central footrest between lounge chairs, a low side table next to an outdoor sofa, or extra seating when you need it -- its 18-inch height and ample surface work for all three. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor modulars collection to build a flexible sectional layout, or set it beside outdoor accent chairs for a more traditional arrangement. The taupe rope and pumice cushion tone bridge modern and coastal styles, so it fits poolside, on a deck or in a screened porch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, the teak base is built to remain outdoors in all seasons; bring the cushion inside or cover it during winter storms to keep it in best condition.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The Grey Teak finish is designed to weather naturally -- sun will continue to age the wood to silver-gray tones, and the olefin cushion fabric resists UV fading far better than standard outdoor textiles.

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

Yes, teak's natural oils and the aluminum components resist salt corrosion, and olefin fabric won't degrade from salt spray or humidity.

Does the ottoman require assembly?

No, the teak base ships fully assembled -- you just place the removable cushion on top.

What are modular outdoor ottomans used for?

Modular ottomans work as footrests, extra seating or low coffee tables in reconfigurable patio layouts, pairing with pieces in our outdoor modulars and outdoor ottomans collections.

How is this ottoman shipped?

It ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA; white-glove setup and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
