18 in. Fortune Outdoor Decorative Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

The handcrafted ceramic construction and weather-resistant glossy glaze let this piece handle summer sun and moisture on a covered patio, though you'll want to bring it indoors when temperatures drop below freezing for extended stretches. The Emissary Fortune 18 in. decorative garden stool is a compact drum-shaped accent piece available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Use it as extra seating beside a lounge chair, a side table for drinks and books, or a pedestal to elevate a planter.

Will the Glossy Glaze Hold Up to Sun and Rain?

The weather-resistant glaze is formulated to withstand sun exposure and moisture when you use the stool outdoors on a covered patio or deck. Ceramic's natural density resists everyday wear, and the glossy finish won't fade during a typical spring-through-fall season. That said, ceramic will crack if it stays outside through freezing temperatures and thaw cycles -- plan to store this piece indoors during winter months or anytime your region expects prolonged hard frost.

How Do You Store It Over Winter?

Move the stool into a garage, shed, or basement before the first hard freeze and leave it there until spring. Ceramic absorbs trace moisture, and when that moisture freezes it can fracture the glaze and the body of the piece. A quick wipe with a damp cloth before storage keeps dust and pollen from sitting on the finish all winter. You don't need to wrap or crate it -- just keep it in a dry, climate-controlled space until the weather warms.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Balcony?

At 18 inches tall and 14 inches wide, the Fortune stool fits tight corners on apartment balconies, beside outdoor accent chairs on a covered porch, or flanking a doorway as a symmetrical pair. Use one as a perch for a potted succulent next to outdoor bar stools at a counter-height table, or tuck it beside a daybed as a landing spot for a water glass. The drum shape and glossy finish suit coastal, contemporary, and eclectic schemes, and you can bring it indoors in fall to anchor a living-room reading corner or hold a stack of magazines in an entryway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

No -- store the stool indoors during extended freezing periods to prevent the ceramic from cracking when moisture inside the material freezes and expands.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The weather-resistant glaze is designed to handle sun exposure without fading during a typical outdoor season, though we recommend a covered patio for longest life.

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

Yes -- ceramic and glaze won't rust or corrode in salt air, though you should still rinse it occasionally and store it indoors during winter storms.

Can this work as a side table?

Absolutely -- the 14-inch-wide top holds a tray of drinks, a stack of books, or a small potted plant, and the drum shape keeps it stable on decking or tile.

Does it arrive assembled?

Yes -- the stool ships in one piece with no assembly required.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free shipping on this stool?

Yes -- free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order. White-glove placement and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
