Bazaar Dark Gray Round Outdoor End Table

Details at a Glance

Glass fiber reinforced concrete stands up to rain, full sun, and temperature swings without the cracking or fade problems you get from solid stone or resin. The Sunset West Bazaar Dark Gray Round Outdoor End Table is a 17-inch GFRC side table available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 19 inches tall, it sits at standard height beside lounge chairs or between sectional pieces, and the hourglass profile keeps the footprint compact on small balconies or crowded patios.

How Well Does GFRC Handle Rain and Sun?

GFRC holds up where solid concrete would crack and resin would warp. The glass fibers threaded through the concrete matrix add tensile strength, so the material flexes slightly with temperature changes instead of splitting. UV exposure won't fade the matte dark gray finish the way it bleaches untreated stone or painted metal, and the concrete itself doesn't absorb moisture like wood or corrode like steel. Salt air won't pit the surface, which makes this table suitable for coastal patios.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, but covering it or moving it under an overhang extends the finish life. GFRC won't crack from freeze-thaw cycles the way poured concrete does, but standing water can seep into unsealed pores and accelerate surface wear over seasons. Clean the table with mild soap and warm water a few times a year, seal it with a water-based stone sealer to close the surface, and blot spills right away so they don't stain. If you leave it out all winter, cover the top to keep ice and snow from sitting in one spot.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 17-inch diameter fits tight spaces -- beside a single lounge chair on a narrow balcony, tucked between sectional seats, or paired with an outdoor coffee table in a layered seating area. Use two to flank a loveseat, or cluster it with taller outdoor side tables for varied surface heights. The neutral dark gray reads equally well next to wood, metal, or wicker frames, and the hourglass shape keeps sightlines open even when you tuck it into a corner. When the season ends, it works indoors as an accent piece in an entryway or beside an armchair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes, GFRC resists freeze-thaw cracking and won't corrode, but covering the table or storing it under a roof protects the finish from prolonged moisture exposure.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No, the GFRC material and matte dark gray finish are UV resistant and designed to minimize visible fading even in full-sun locations.

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

Yes, concrete-based GFRC won't pit or corrode from salt air the way metal does, making it a good choice for beachfront patios.

What size outdoor side table works for a lounge chair?

A 17-inch diameter is ideal for holding drinks and small items beside a standard lounge chair without crowding the space around it.

How do you clean a GFRC table?

Wipe it with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth, blot spills immediately, and reseal with a water-based stone sealer once or twice a year.

Does this ship free, and is assembly required?

Yes, it ships free to the continental USA and arrives fully assembled with no setup needed.
