Round Bento Accent Table Ivory Concrete

Details at a Glance

Nano-sealed concrete handles the real weather challenges a patio side table faces -- UV rays that bleach lighter finishes and moisture that seeps into unsealed stone. The nano sealant on this piece resists both, keeping the ivory surface intact through rain and summer heat. This Round Bento Accent Table in ivory concrete by Essentials For Living is an outdoor side table available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 17.5 inches wide and 19 inches tall, it fits beside lounge chairs and in balcony corners without taking over the space.

How Does Nano-Sealed Concrete Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Nano sealing creates a barrier that blocks moisture from penetrating the concrete's porous surface, so rain doesn't soak in and freeze-thaw cycles won't crack the material in colder months. The seal also deflects UV rays that would otherwise bleach the ivory pigment, though you'll still see gradual color shifts if the table spends years in direct afternoon sun. The concrete blend itself uses granite stone powder, cement, and natural jute fibers, which cure into a dense composite that resists chipping better than cast concrete alone. Non-structural hairline cracks can appear as the material cures -- that's normal with concrete and doesn't compromise weather resistance.

Can This Stay Outside All Year?

The nano-sealed surface is built for year-round outdoor use, but concrete is still porous enough that water trapped inside can expand when it freezes. If you're in a climate with hard freezes, bring the table under a covered porch or into a garage for winter. In mild or coastal climates, it's fine to leave out -- just wipe off standing water so it doesn't pool in any surface texture. Clean the table every few weeks with a damp cloth and mild soap, rinse thoroughly, and let it air-dry. Don't use abrasive scrubbers or acidic cleaners; they'll wear through the nano seal and leave the concrete vulnerable to stains.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Set it beside an outdoor lounge chair or at the end of a sectional to hold drinks and a small succulent planter -- the 19-inch height puts the surface right at arm level. The hexagon hourglass silhouette adds sculptural interest when you cluster it with an outdoor coffee table or pair it with a second side table on the opposite end of a sofa. The ivory finish works with neutral cushions and natural stone pavers, and at 38 pounds, it won't tip or blow over in wind. It's compact enough for balcony corners and poolside nooks where a larger bistro table would crowd the layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the ivory finish fade in direct sun?

The nano-sealed concrete resists UV damage, but prolonged direct sun exposure can cause gradual color shifts over several seasons -- you'll see it lighten slightly rather than turn yellow.

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

Yes, sealed concrete doesn't rust and the nano coating resists salt spray, but you should rinse it monthly to prevent buildup that can dull the finish over time.

How do I store it over winter?

Move it to a covered porch or garage in climates with hard freezes; in mild regions, leave it out and just wipe off standing water so it doesn't pool and freeze in cracks.

What size side table fits beside a lounge chair?

A table 15 to 20 inches wide and 18 to 22 inches tall pairs well with standard lounge chairs -- this one at 17.5 inches wide and 19 inches tall falls right in that range.

Does it require assembly?

No, it ships as a single piece -- unpack and place it.

Is free shipping available on this table?

Yes, free curbside delivery to the contiguous USA is included.
