22 in. Dice Ceramic Outdoor Garden Stool - Luxury Outdoor Living

Details at a Glance

This handcrafted ceramic garden stool holds up to typical outdoor moisture and UV exposure thanks to its fired ceramic body and gunmetal glaze. The Dice ceramic outdoor garden stool -- a dice-inspired silhouette finished in sophisticated gunmetal -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You can use it as extra seating, a side table next to a lounge chair, or a pedestal for plants.

How Well Does Ceramic Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Ceramic resists UV fade and moisture far better than most outdoor materials because it's fired at high temperature and sealed with a glaze. This garden stool's gunmetal finish is semi-glossy, so rain beads off and the color stays consistent through seasons of sun. You'll want to bring it inside during extended freezing weather -- ceramic can crack if water seeps into any microscopic fissure and then freezes -- but it handles summer storms, humidity, and direct sunlight without fading or warping.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, store this stool indoors when temperatures drop below freezing for more than a day or two. Ceramic is weather-resistant, not freeze-proof, and prolonged cold can cause cracking if moisture gets trapped. The rest of the year it lives happily on a covered patio or open deck. To clean it, wipe with a damp cloth -- skip household cleaners or chemicals that might dull the glaze.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Place it beside a lounge chair to hold drinks and books, or cluster two or three as extra seating when you're hosting. Its 17-inch-square footprint tucks easily into a corner or fills a gap in your outdoor garden seat arrangement. Indoors, it works just as well as an accent piece next to a sofa or as a plant stand in an entryway. Pair it with outdoor accent chairs for layered seating, or set it near the bar alongside outdoor bar stools for a collected look.
