17 in. Ice Ray Black & White Ceramic Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

This handcrafted ceramic garden stool stands up to sun and rain on a covered patio -- the glossy glaze finish sheds water and resists UV fade through spring and summer. The 17-inch Ice Ray Black & White Ceramic Garden Stool is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can use it as extra seating, a side table for drinks, or a plant stand wherever you need a compact surface that moves easily between indoors and out.

How Well Does Ceramic Hold Up Outdoors?

Ceramic with a high-gloss glaze is weather resistant and handles moisture, UV exposure, and the typical humidity of a patio season without fading or warping. The nonporous glazed surface sheds rain and wipes clean with a damp cloth. You do need to store it indoors during extended freezing weather -- repeated freeze-thaw cycles can crack ceramic, so bring the stool inside when temperatures drop below freezing for more than a few days.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, bring it inside before the first hard freeze and leave it there until spring. Ceramic is durable through three seasons but cannot handle water freezing inside its pores over and over. A basement, garage, or mudroom works fine -- just keep it dry and out of the cold. Clean the glaze with a damp cloth before storing; avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Place it beside a lounge chair as a drink table or next to an entry door to hold a potted plant. The 15-inch square footprint fits into tight corners on a covered porch or balcony where you need an extra surface. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor garden seat collection for flexible seating, or use it alongside outdoor bar stools and outdoor counter stools in a poolside setup. The 17-inch height also works as a low side table in a sunroom or screened porch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

No, you need to store it indoors during prolonged freezing weather. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can crack the ceramic, so bring it inside before winter and return it to the patio in spring.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The glossy glaze is UV resistant and will not fade during a typical patio season. Keep it on a covered porch if you want to avoid constant sun exposure over many years.

How do I clean the glossy glaze surface?

Wipe it with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish. The glazed ceramic sheds dirt easily.

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

Yes, the nonporous glaze resists salt air and moisture. Rinse it with fresh water periodically if it is near the ocean, and store it indoors during the off-season as you would anywhere else.

Can you use a garden stool as a side table?

Yes, the 15-inch square top comfortably holds drinks, books, a small lamp, or decorative objects. The flat surface is stable enough for everyday use indoors or out.

Does it ship fully assembled?

Yes, it arrives ready to use with no assembly required. Free curbside delivery is included to the continental USA.
