Bloc Concrete Made Outdoor Side Table

Details at a Glance

This concrete cube is built from 100% fiber-reinforced concrete, engineered to resist cracking and handle the weight of heavy planters or lamps through rain, heat, and sun exposure. The Urbia Bloc Outdoor Side Table -- a solid 21.75-inch cube with artisan-made finishes in ivory terrazzo or lava -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its elevated base keeps concrete off the ground for better drainage and airflow, making it a durable choice for decks, patios, and balconies.

Will Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Hold Up Through Rain and UV Exposure?

Fiber-reinforced concrete withstands UV exposure far better than wood or plastic -- it won't warp, rot, or splinter when left outside year-round. The composite construction resists moisture penetration and handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking the way standard concrete can. You may see natural patina variations develop over time, which is part of the artisan finish rather than a material failure. The 265 lb weight capacity stays stable through weather shifts, so you can load it with heavy decorative accents or planters without worrying about structural degradation.

Do You Need to Move It Indoors for Winter?

You can leave this table outside through winter -- the fiber reinforcement prevents cracking in freezing temperatures, and the elevated base design promotes drainage so water doesn't pool underneath. Wipe off snow and ice buildup with a soft brush to keep the surface clean, but there's no need to cover or store it. For areas with extreme freeze-thaw cycling or if you prefer to preserve the original finish, moving it to a covered patio extends the life of the artisan patina.

Where Does This Cube Work Best on a Patio?

Place it beside a lounge chair as a drink surface, between two chairs as a shared side table in your outdoor side tables arrangement, or use it as a planter stand for heavy pots on a covered patio. The compact 21.75-inch footprint fits small balconies and tight corners without crowding walkways. If you're setting up a bistro seating area, pair it with taller pieces from our outdoor bistro tables collection, or use it as a sculptural accent alongside low-profile outdoor coffee tables.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- fiber-reinforced concrete resists freeze-thaw cracking, and the elevated base promotes drainage so water doesn't sit underneath during rain or snow.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

The concrete withstands UV exposure without warping or losing structural integrity, though natural patina variations may develop over time as part of the artisan finish.

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

Concrete handles salt air better than metal or wood, but wipe off salt residue regularly with water and mild soap to prevent surface buildup.

How do you clean a concrete outdoor side table?

Wipe it with water and mild soap -- avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that can damage the artisan finish.

What size outdoor side table works beside a lounge chair?

A 21.75-inch square surface gives you room for drinks, books, and small decor without overwhelming the chair's footprint.

Does this ship fully assembled?

It's a single-piece concrete cube requiring no assembly. Standard delivery is free curbside to the continental USA -- unpack it and set it on your patio or deck.
