Round Bento Accent Table Slate Gray Concrete

Details at a Glance

Fiber-reinforced concrete stands up to UV exposure and temperature swings without the cracking you'd see in standard concrete -- natural jute fibers woven through the matrix give it tensile strength and weather resistance. The Round Bento Accent Table in slate gray concrete is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping.

How Does Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Handle Sun and Rain?

Fiber-reinforced concrete mixes granite stone powder, cement, and natural jute fibers to create a material that resists UV degradation and moisture penetration far better than poured concrete alone. The nano-sealed surface helps prevent most surface stains from rain or spills. Over extended sun exposure, the slate gray may develop a natural patina -- typical for outdoor concrete -- but the structural integrity doesn't degrade, and non-structural hairline cracks that can appear during curing don't affect performance.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to. The fiber-reinforced construction is built for temperature changes and outdoor exposure year-round. Apply paraffin wax regularly to maintain the finish and help protect the nano-sealed surface, especially if the table stays exposed to snow or ice. If you're storing it off-season, wipe it clean and cover it, but it's not required -- the 38-pound weight keeps it stable in moderate wind, and the material won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles the way lighter composites sometimes do.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 17.5-inch width fits beside lounge chairs or between seating on compact balconies and covered decks without taking up the footprint of larger outdoor coffee tables. Pair it with other pieces from the outdoor side tables collection to create layered surface options, or use it as a standalone piece next to an outdoor bistro table setup. The hexagonal hourglass base provides visual interest in modern patio arrangements, and because it's rated for indoor use, you can move it into a living room during the off-season.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- fiber-reinforced concrete is built for outdoor exposure year-round. Apply paraffin wax regularly to maintain the nano-sealed finish.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The nano-sealed concrete and fiber-reinforced construction resist UV degradation, though the slate gray may develop a natural patina over extended sun exposure typical of outdoor concrete.

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

Concrete handles salt air well, and the nano-sealed surface helps prevent surface staining. Regular waxing is especially important in coastal climates.

How much does it weigh?

38 pounds, which provides stability in moderate wind and resists tipping on decks and patios.

What's the right size side table for a lounge chair?

The 17.5-inch width fits standard lounge chair armrest height and provides surface area for drinks and small items without overwhelming tight patio layouts.

Is assembly included with free shipping?

Free curbside delivery is included. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, and assembly are optional paid services available upon request for an additional fee.
