18 in. Calyx Ceramic Outdoor Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

The glossy ceramic surface on this garden stool is built to resist outdoor wear, stains and seasonal weather when used on a covered patio or deck. The Calyx 18 in. Ceramic Outdoor Garden Stool by Emissary is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can choose from six handcrafted glaze colors -- Bright Orange, Cream, Green, Metallic Green, Teal and Tropical Red -- each fired to create a durable, weather-resistant finish.

Will the Ceramic Glaze Hold Up in Sun and Rain?

The glossy ceramic glaze resists UV fade and outdoor moisture when the stool is placed on a covered porch or patio. You'll want to bring it inside during extended periods of freezing weather, because ceramic can crack when exposed to repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The handcrafted surface cleans easily with a damp cloth and doesn't absorb stains the way natural materials can, making it a practical choice for high-traffic outdoor areas where drinks or potted plants sit.

How Do You Protect a Ceramic Garden Stool Off-Season?

Store this stool indoors when temperatures stay below freezing for more than a few days at a time. Ceramic holds moisture in its pores, and that water expands when it freezes, which is how cracks form. Wipe the surface clean before you bring it in, and avoid using household chemicals or abrasive cleaners -- a damp cloth is all you need to remove dirt or pollen buildup after a season outdoors.

Where Does an 18 in. Garden Stool Work Best on a Patio?

At 18 inches tall, this stool pairs naturally with standard seating height on a covered deck or porch, working as a side table next to outdoor accent chairs or as extra seating when you need it. The 16.5 inch square footprint is compact enough to tuck beside a lounge chair or under a console, and the drum shape makes it easy to move. Use it as a plant stand near an entryway or as a footrest alongside outdoor garden seats, and you'll find it just as useful indoors as a living-room side table when the weather turns.
