Magnolia Rectangular Outdoor Cocktail Table

Details at a Glance

Rust-proof aluminum frames and UV-resistant virgin vinyl wicker make this rectangular cocktail table a reliable choice for year-round exposure to rain, sun, and coastal salt air. The Lloyd Flanders Magnolia Rectangular Outdoor Cocktail Table in Sandcastle finish is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 43 pounds it's portable enough for one person to rearrange yet substantial enough to anchor a covered porch or fully exposed deck.

How Does Virgin Vinyl Wicker Handle UV and Rain?

Virgin vinyl wicker resists UV degradation better than natural rattan because each synthetic strand is extruded with stabilizers that prevent cracking and color fade when the table sits in direct sun for months. The material stays soft and pliable through temperature swings -- it won't become brittle in winter cold or sticky in summer heat -- and because it's non-porous, moisture runs off without promoting mildew or water damage. You'll see this performance most clearly in the second and third seasons, when lesser synthetics begin to fray at the edges and this vinyl still looks woven tight.

Can This Stay Outside All Winter?

Yes -- the aluminum frame won't rust and the virgin vinyl won't crack in freezing temperatures, so the table can remain on your patio through snow and ice. That said, covering it or storing it in a shed during extended non-use protects the Sandcastle finish from salt-laden sleet and keeps the weave cleaner between seasons. If you do leave it out, brush off heavy snow loads to prevent water from pooling in any woven crevices, and rinse with a hose in early spring to remove road-salt residue before you apply fresh vinyl protectant.

Where Does This Work Best on a Deck or Patio?

The 43-inch length suits standard three-seat sofas or small sectionals in a covered porch, where the table anchors a conversation area without blocking foot traffic. Pair it with matching pieces from the outdoor coffee tables collection if you're furnishing multiple seating zones, or flank it with coordinating outdoor bistro tables for drinks and lanterns at the corners of a sectional. The Sandcastle neutral finish bridges both modern and traditional schemes, so you can refresh cushion fabrics season to season without the base palette clashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The UV-stabilized virgin vinyl resists fading, though applying vinyl protectant every three to four months maintains color integrity in full-sun locations and prevents any surface dullness over time.

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

Yes -- the aluminum frame is rust-proof and the vinyl wicker is non-porous, so salt spray won't corrode or degrade the materials. Rinse occasionally with fresh water to prevent salt buildup on the finish.

How do you clean wicker after pollen season?

Wipe the weave with a soft cloth dipped in warm water and mild soap, rinse thoroughly with a hose, then dry to prevent water spots. The vinyl won't harbor mold or mildew the way natural rattan would.

Can one person move this table for rearranging furniture?

At 43 pounds the table is light enough for one person to lift and reposition across a deck or into storage without strain.

What's the difference between virgin vinyl and recycled resin wicker?

Virgin vinyl uses only new polymer -- no reclaimed material -- so the strands are uniform in color and flexibility, with no weak spots that snap under stress or UV exposure.

Does this ship fully assembled or does it require setup?
