Geri Concrete Outdoor Side Table

Details at a Glance

Solid concrete construction means this piece won't tip in wind or shift when you set a drink down. The LH Home Geri Concrete Outdoor Side Table is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its hydrographic water-dipped brown-black finish adds natural texture while protecting against moisture penetration, and at 46.2 pounds, it stays put through weather swings.

How Well Does Concrete Hold Up to Rain and Sun?

Concrete resists moisture absorption when properly finished, and this piece's hydrographic water-dipped treatment seals the surface against rain penetration. The brown-black finish won't fade under direct sun the way painted surfaces can, because the color treatment runs through the layer rather than sitting on top. Concrete won't rust, warp, or split with temperature changes, and its thermal mass keeps it stable through daily heat cycles. The recommended temperature range is 0-40°C, which covers most outdoor seasons -- in sustained freezing, move it under a roof or into covered storage to prevent stress fractures from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to bring it inside, but you'll want a covered spot if your winters drop below freezing regularly. Concrete can crack when water gets in and freezes repeatedly, so if you're in a cold-winter region, tuck it under a covered patio or deck overhang, or wrap it in a breathable cover that blocks moisture without trapping condensation. In mild climates or summers with heavy rain, it can stay exposed year-round -- just wipe off standing water after storms to keep dirt from staining the finish. No sealing or oiling is required, but hosing it down occasionally keeps the brown-black surface looking fresh.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Set it next to a lounge chair on a covered patio as a drinks table, or use it as an accent beside an entryway where its 22-inch height doubles as a perch for bags or planters. The compact 16-inch square footprint fits tight corners on balconies or small decks without crowding walkways. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor coffee tables collection for a layered conversation set, or group two with seating from outdoor bistro tables for an impromptu dining setup. It also works indoors as an unconventional accent in modern living rooms, and its dual function as a stool fills gaps when you need an extra seat around outdoor side tables during gatherings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes in mild climates, but in regions with sustained freezing winters, move it under a roof or covered area to prevent stress fractures from repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In warm or temperate zones it can stay exposed year-round.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

No -- the hydrographic water-dipped brown-black finish runs through the layer rather than sitting on the surface, so it won't bleach or fade under UV exposure the way paint does.

How do I store it over winter?

Move it to a covered patio, garage, or shed if your winters are consistently below freezing. If leaving it outside, use a breathable cover that blocks rain without trapping condensation.

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

Yes -- concrete won't rust or corrode in salt air, making it a good choice for coastal patios. Rinse it periodically to prevent salt buildup from dulling the finish.

Can I use this as a seat?

Yes -- it's designed as a dual-function piece and at 22 inches tall it works as a stool for adults or extra seating around a table. The 46.2-pound weight keeps it stable underfoot.

Does this table require assembly or special delivery?

The table ships fully formed with free curbside delivery to the continental USA. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
