Concrete Hourglass Concrete Outdoor Side Table

Details at a Glance

Concrete stands up to sun and rain far better than most patio materials because it doesn't corrode, warp or crack from moisture the way wood or metal can. The LH Home Concrete Hourglass outdoor side table, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, pairs a sculptural geometric profile with solid concrete construction that resists UV degradation and handles temperature swings from 0 to 40°C. At 39.7 pounds, the weight keeps it planted in wind without needing anchors or tie-downs.

How Well Does Concrete Hold Up to Rain and Direct Sun?

Concrete's dense composition naturally sheds moisture and resists UV degradation -- there's no coating to peel or pigment that bleaches out overnight. Prolonged full-sun exposure over several seasons may lighten the bronze finish slightly, but you won't see the rapid fading common with painted aluminum or resin. Because concrete contains no ferrous metal, it can't rust, and its porosity is low enough that freeze-thaw cycles won't crack the structure as long as you follow the 0-40°C rating. Rain beads off the surface rather than soaking in, so mildew and mold have little chance to take hold.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You should cover this table or move it under a roof when temperatures drop near freezing, especially in climates with hard frost. While the material is rated to 0°C, repeated freeze-thaw cycles can stress any concrete piece if water gets into microscopic pores, and the manufacturer recommends winter protection. A simple weatherproof furniture cover keeps rain and snow off, or you can tuck it into a covered porch or garage until spring. Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth before storing to remove dirt and salt residue.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 14.2-inch square footprint fits beside a lounge chair without eating floor space, making it ideal for narrow balconies or small decks where a full outdoor coffee table won't squeeze in. Cluster two or three as drink stations around a sectional, or use the hourglass profile to anchor a corner where contemporary metal chairs meet wicker seating. For even smaller spots, browse the full outdoor side tables collection, or pair it with taller pieces from the outdoor bistro tables range to create tiered surface arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It handles three-season use in the 0-40°C range, but you should cover it or move it under a roof during hard winter freezes to prevent freeze-thaw damage.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Concrete resists UV degradation better than plastics or painted metal, though prolonged full-sun exposure over several seasons may lighten the bronze pigment slightly.

How do I store it over winter?

Wipe it clean, then cover with a weatherproof furniture cover or move it to a covered porch or garage when frost arrives.

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

Yes -- concrete doesn't rust and handles salt spray well, though rinsing it occasionally prevents salt buildup that can discolor the finish over time.

Will this tip over in wind?

At 39.7 pounds, the weight keeps it stable in typical patio breezes without anchoring.

Does LOOMLAN Outdoor offer free shipping on this table?

Yes, free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum purchase.
