The Bari ottoman pairs natural teak legs with a powder-coated aluminum frame and 100% Olefin upholstery that resists water, stains, and heat. SUNPAN's Bari Fabric Modern Stool is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, built for covered outdoor areas where you need seating or a footrest that won't fail after one wet season. At 34.75 inches wide and 15.5 inches tall, it works as extra seating for a lounge group or as a standalone ottoman.

How Does This Hold Up in a Covered Outdoor Space?

It's built for covered patios, screened porches, and three-season rooms -- not for full exposure to rain or direct sun all day. The teak legs handle moisture well and resist splitting, while the powder-coated aluminum frame won't rust if it stays dry between uses. The 100% Olefin fabric is inherently resistant to water, stains, and heat, so spills from drinks or damp swimsuits won't soak in or leave marks. That said, this is not an all-weather piece -- it needs shelter from downpours and prolonged UV. Olefin performs better than cotton or linen outdoors, but a roof or umbrella keeps the upholstery from degrading faster than it should.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, if you live where temperatures drop below freezing or where snow accumulates. The teak and aluminum can tolerate cold, but the fabric and cushion structure last longer when stored indoors during the off-season. Before you put it away, wipe down the frame with a damp cloth, let the fabric air-dry completely, and store it in a dry garage, shed, or basement. If indoor storage isn't an option, use a breathable waterproof cover and elevate the legs off the ground so moisture doesn't wick up from the deck. Come spring, check the fabric for mildew and clean it with mild soap and water if needed.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Place it under a pergola, awning, or pavilion where it gets shade most of the day and stays dry overnight. It pairs well with our full-size outdoor accent chairs and works as overflow seating when you're hosting, or as a footrest in front of a lounge chair. The neutral natural-teak-and-white palette fits modern and coastal styles, and the low 15.5-inch height makes it easy to slide under a side table when you need floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

No -- it's designed for covered outdoor spaces and should be stored indoors or under a waterproof cover during winter, especially in freezing climates.

Will the fabric fade in direct sun?

Olefin resists UV better than natural fibers, but prolonged direct sun will eventually lighten the Stinson White upholstery. Keep it in shade or under a roof for the longest life.

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

Yes, as long as it's covered -- the powder-coated aluminum won't corrode from salt spray, and teak naturally resists moisture. Rinse the frame occasionally if sea mist reaches it.

How do I clean the Olefin fabric?

Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush and soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and let it air-dry in the shade.

Can I use this as a seat or just as a footrest?

Both -- at 34.75 inches wide it's large enough for one adult to sit on, and the teak-and-aluminum frame is sturdy enough to support seating weight. It also works as a coffee-table substitute for trays.

Does it arrive assembled, or do I need to put it together?

Assembly status is not specified by the manufacturer. Standard curbside delivery to the continental USA is free; white-glove setup and assembly are available upon request for an additional fee.
