Teak Square Tapered Leg Outdoor End Table

Details at a Glance

Finding a full-sun patio side table that won't fade, warp, or rot after one season means choosing a material with built-in weather protection -- and FSC-certified Brazilian teak delivers exactly that. The Lloyd Flanders Teak Square Tapered Leg Outdoor End Table, a 23.5-inch square side table with tapered legs and an antique gray finish, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Teak's natural oils repel moisture, insects, and UV damage without chemical treatments, so this piece handles rain, sun, and humidity year after year.

How Well Does FSC-Certified Brazilian Teak Handle Rain and Sun?

Brazilian teak stands up to outdoor weather because its cellular structure is loaded with natural oils that repel water and block insect damage. Those same oils resist UV breakdown, so the wood won't crack, split, or weaken even in full-sun exposures. The antique gray finish will gradually weather to a silver patina over time -- that's a desirable trait of outdoor teak, not a flaw. If you prefer to keep the original gray tone, applying teak oil once or twice a season slows the silvering process; if you like the look of weathered teak, you can leave it untreated and let the sun do the work.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to bring this table inside when temperatures drop. Teak's moisture resistance means freeze-thaw cycles won't cause cracking or warping, and the wood's density prevents snow and ice from penetrating the grain. Lloyd Flanders recommends covering the table during extended periods of non-use to minimize dirt and debris buildup, but the material itself will handle cold, wet winters outdoors. A quick cleaning with teak cleaner and a soft brush in spring is all you'll need to refresh it for the next season.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

This 23.5-inch square footprint fits neatly beside a lounge chair or at the end of a sectional, giving you a stable surface for drinks, books, and phones without crowding walkways. The 22-inch height works well with standard seating, and the 34-pound weight makes it easy to reposition when you rearrange furniture. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor coffee tables collection for a layered look, or use multiples to flank a bench in a full outdoor side tables arrangement. The tapered-leg profile complements both modern and traditional styles, and the natural teak grain adds warmth to any patio setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does teak need to be oiled?

No, teak doesn't need oil to stay weather-resistant -- the natural oils already in the wood do that job. Applying teak oil once or twice a season will slow the weathering to silver if you want to keep the antique gray finish longer.

Will teak turn grey, and can I stop it?

Yes, teak naturally weathers from antique gray to a silver patina when exposed to sun and rain. You can slow that process by applying teak oil regularly, or you can let it happen -- either way, the wood stays structurally sound.

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, this FSC-certified Brazilian teak table can stay outside year-round in all climates. Lloyd Flanders recommends covering it during long stretches of non-use to keep it cleaner, but the wood itself handles freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and snow.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The antique gray finish will gradually lighten to a silver patina in full sun, which is the natural aging process for outdoor teak. The wood remains UV-resistant and won't crack or weaken -- the color shift is cosmetic and widely considered attractive.

How do I store it over winter?

You can leave this table outdoors uncovered, but covering it keeps dirt, leaves, and ice off the surface. If you have indoor storage space, the 34-pound weight makes it easy to move, but teak doesn't require indoor storage to survive winter.

Does this ship fully assembled, or is assembly required?

This table ships with free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, packaging removal, and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee -- they're not included in free shipping.
