Sonoma Wooden Square Outdoor Side Table

Details at a Glance

Kiln-dried acacia stands up to rain and temperature swings without the warping or cracking you get from untreated lumber, and the slatted surface drains water instead of pooling it. The Sonoma Wooden Square Outdoor Side Table, a 20x20-inch acacia wood outdoor side table available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping, delivers treated hardwood durability at 12 pounds so you can move it when the party shifts across the deck.

How Well Does Treated Acacia Handle Rain and Sun?

Kiln-dried acacia resists moisture absorption and seasonal temperature shifts, which prevents the warping and splitting common in air-dried woods. The natural finish holds moderate UV resistance -- full-sun exposure over months will develop a silvery patina that many prefer for its weathered look, while shaded placements keep the warm honey tone longer. Treated acacia won't rot when wet, but it's still real wood: you'll want to wipe it dry after storms and reseal it annually if you're preserving the original color.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave kiln-dried acacia outside through winter -- the treatment stops moisture from splitting the grain during freeze-thaw cycles. That said, stacking it in a shed or garage extends the finish life and keeps you from scrubbing off spring pollen and debris. If it stays out, a waterproof cover prevents ice from sitting in the slats, and you'll clean it faster when warm weather returns.

Where Does a 20x20 Square Side Table Work Best?

This footprint fits beside lounge chairs and Adirondacks on patios and pool decks, giving you a spot for drinks and phones without blocking walkways. Pair it with pieces from the outdoor coffee tables collection for layered surface space during gatherings, or use it as a plant stand near railings on narrow balconies where larger outdoor bistro tables won't squeeze in. The 12-pound weight means you can reposition it when the sun moves or guests cluster in a new corner of the deck, and the slatted top keeps pooled water from staining coasters or magazines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

Kiln-dried treated acacia handles freeze-thaw cycles and rain without splitting, so it can remain outdoors year-round. A cover or shed storage preserves the natural finish longer and reduces spring cleanup.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Treated acacia has moderate UV resistance; months of full sun will turn the natural honey tone into a silvery gray patina. Resealing annually with a wood protectant slows the color shift.

How do I store it over winter?

Stack it in a dry shed or garage, or leave it on the patio under a waterproof cover. Wipe off any snow or ice from the slats to prevent long-term moisture contact.

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

Treated acacia tolerates occasional salt spray better than untreated wood, but you should rinse the slats after storms to prevent salt buildup that accelerates weathering.

How do you clean an acacia outdoor table?

Wipe the slatted surface with mild soap and water, rinse, and let it air dry. Reapply a wood sealant once a year if you want to keep the natural color from graying.
