36 Inch Coffee Table Grey Contemporary

Details at a Glance

Finding an outdoor coffee table that combines the look of stone with the portability you need for seasonal rearranging is rare -- most concrete pieces are too heavy to move, and plastic tops look cheap. The Moe's Home Mendez 36 Inch Coffee Table in Grey, a contemporary outdoor coffee table with a fiber-reinforced concrete top and steel legs, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 77 pounds the table delivers the industrial-chic aesthetic of poured concrete without the back-breaking weight, and its sealed composite surface resists the UV and moisture swings that crack traditional stone.

Will Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Hold Up to Rain and Sun on a Covered Patio?

Yes -- fiber-reinforced concrete blends natural concrete aggregate with embedded polymer fibers and a moisture-resistant sealer, so the top resists UV fade and won't absorb water the way untreated wood or porous stone does. The sealed surface sheds rain quickly and won't crack in freeze-thaw cycles if you're under a roof or pergola. The powder-coated steel legs resist rust in typical covered-porch humidity, though salt air and direct rain will eventually wear the coating if the table sits fully exposed. This is built for covered outdoor use -- a sunroom, screened porch, or deck under an awning -- where it gets indirect sun and occasional splashes but not constant weather.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to, but you'll extend the finish life if you do -- or at least cover it with a fitted outdoor furniture cover. The concrete-fiber top won't crack in the cold, but months of freeze-thaw and UV exposure will dull the grey finish over time. At 77 pounds it's light enough for one person to carry into a garage or shed, unlike a solid-stone table that stays put all season. If you leave it out, wipe off snow and standing water so ice doesn't sit against the steel leg welds, and check that the sealer is still beading water each spring -- if not, a concrete sealer refreshes the protection.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

This 36-inch square table anchors a four-seat conversation group on a covered porch, under a pergola, or in a three-season sunroom where you want the look of stone without the weight. Pair it with modern wicker or aluminum lounge chairs from our outdoor coffee tables collection, and flank the seating with a pair of pieces from our outdoor side tables range to hold drinks and lanterns. The grey finish and thin steel legs read contemporary, so it's a natural match for minimalist sectionals and geometric planters -- less so with ornate wrought-iron or teak club chairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It's rated for outdoor use and won't crack in the cold, but the finish lasts longer if you cover it or store it indoors during winter months.

Will the grey finish fade in direct sun?

The sealed composite resists UV better than untreated wood, but placement on a covered porch or under an umbrella will keep the color truer longer.

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

The powder-coated steel legs will eventually show rust in salt air if the table sits uncovered; the concrete top handles it fine, but plan to cover or store the piece when not in use.

What size patio sofa fits a 36-inch coffee table?

A 36-inch square table suits sofas 72 to 84 inches wide, leaving 12 to 18 inches of clearance for legroom and traffic flow.

Does this require assembly?

Yes -- you'll attach the steel legs to the fiber-stone top with the provided hardware, typically a 15-minute job.

Is shipping free?

Yes -- LOOMLAN Outdoor ships free to the continental USA with no minimum order, delivered curbside.
