Aruz Red Olefin Fabric Outdoor Ottoman

Details at a Glance

The Aruz ottoman uses 100% olefin fabric over polypropylene EPP bean fill -- both engineered to resist UV fade and moisture -- so the red stays bright through months of direct sun. This weather-resistant outdoor footstool is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 3.7 pounds and no assembly required, it's ready to use the moment it arrives.

Will the Olefin Fabric Fade in Direct Sun?

Olefin is solution-dyed during extrusion, locking pigment into the fiber before it's woven -- that makes it far less vulnerable to UV degradation than surface-dyed fabrics. The red hue will show gradual shift over years of unshaded exposure, but olefin holds color better than cotton, polyester or untreated canvas. The Textilene reinforcement weave also resists tearing and adds breathability, so the cover won't trap heat on a hot deck.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

Olefin repels water rather than absorbing it, and the polypropylene fill is mold-resistant and quick-drying if moisture penetrates the cover. You can leave the Aruz ottoman out year-round in mild climates without rot or mildew buildup. If you're in a region with heavy snow or freezing rain, store it indoors or under a waterproof cover during winter to extend the life of the seams and zipper. The 3.7-pound weight makes moving it into a garage or shed simple.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 21.7-inch square fits neatly in front of deep-seating lounge chairs in your outdoor accent chairs zone, and the cube profile doubles as a low side table when you add a tray. Pair two of them around a fire pit for casual extra seating, or tuck one under a console in your outdoor accessories arrangement. The bold red contrasts well with neutral cushions and natural teak, making it easy to build a cohesive look across covered porches or open decks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Olefin is solution-dyed and UV-resistant, so fading is minimal. You'll see gradual color shift after years of unshaded exposure, but the fabric holds its hue far better than surface-dyed textiles.

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

Yes -- olefin repels moisture and resists mildew, and there's no metal hardware to corrode. Rinse the fabric occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup.

Can an outdoor ottoman be used as a coffee table?

Absolutely. The cube shape and firm polypropylene fill create a stable surface -- add a tray on top to hold drinks or plates for casual outdoor dining.

How do I store it over winter?

In mild climates you can leave it out with a cover. In regions with heavy snow, move it indoors or into a shed. The 3.7-pound weight makes carrying it easy.

Does the ottoman ship assembled?

Yes. No assembly is required -- it arrives ready to use. Free curbside delivery to the continental United States is included.

How should I clean the olefin fabric?

Wipe with mild soap and warm water, then rinse and air-dry. Olefin resists stains and moisture, so most spills lift off easily.
