Ovi Resin Patio Side Table

Details at a Glance

The Ovi is molded from cast resin -- a polymer that won't crack when moisture gets into seams, because there are no seams to fail. The Artesia Ovi Resin Patio Side Table, a compact cast resin outdoor end table in a modern 70s-inspired frameless design, is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 19.5 inches square and 20 inches tall, it fits beside a lounge chair on a balcony or poolside without overwhelming the footprint.

How Well Does Cast Resin Handle Rain and UV Exposure?

Cast resin resists moisture completely -- water can't soak in and freeze-crack the way it does with concrete or untreated wood. It won't rust like metal and it won't splinter or gray like untreated lumber. The material is inherently UV-resistant, so it won't become brittle or degrade structurally in direct sun. Prolonged exposure over multiple seasons may cause gradual color shifts in the white finish, but regular cleaning with a mild non-abrasive cleaner helps maintain the look.

Do You Need to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You don't have to. Cast resin tolerates freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, and it won't corrode in snow or sleet. If you leave it out, wipe off accumulated snow and ice so water doesn't pool on the top and stain the finish. Storing it in a shed or garage will preserve the white surface longer, but the structure itself won't fail if it stays on the patio year-round. No sealing, oiling, or rust treatment is required -- just periodic washing.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

Position the Ovi beside a lounge chair or sofa in your outdoor side tables grouping, or pair it with an outdoor coffee table for layered surfaces. The 20-inch height matches standard lounge-chair armrests, and the smooth reflective top provides a wipeable surface for drinks, candles, or a book. Its compact square footprint also works in tight apartment balconies and poolside corners where an outdoor bistro table would crowd the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Yes -- cast resin tolerates freeze-thaw cycles, rain, and snow without cracking or corroding. Wipe off accumulated snow so water doesn't pool and stain the finish.

Will the white finish fade in direct sun?

Cast resin is UV-resistant and won't become brittle, but prolonged direct sun over several seasons may cause gradual color shifts. Regular cleaning helps maintain the original look.

How do I store it over winter?

You can leave it out year-round, or store it in a shed or garage to preserve the finish longer. No covering, sealing, or rust treatment is required.

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

Yes -- cast resin doesn't rust or corrode, so it handles salt air better than bare metal or unsealed wood. Rinse it periodically to remove salt residue.

What's the best size outdoor side table for a lounge chair?

A 19-20 inch height matches standard armrests, and a 19.5-inch square top provides enough surface for drinks and a book without crowding the seating area.
