Sumie End Table Contemporary Concrete Finish

Details at a Glance

Glass fiber reinforced concrete holds up outdoors because the embedded fibers prevent cracking while the factory sealant keeps water from penetrating the porous surface. The SUNPAN Sumie End Table Contemporary Concrete Finish is a sealed concrete side table with a carved white silhouette, available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. At 19.25 inches tall and 15 inches across, it stands beside lounge seating on a patio or beside a sofa indoors without dominating the floor plan.

How Well Does Sealed Concrete Handle Rain and Sun?

The sealant applied to this glass fiber reinforced concrete resists moisture penetration, so rain and humidity won't cause the kind of freeze-thaw cracking that ruins untreated concrete. The white finish can collect dirt and pollen outdoors, but you can hose it down -- the sealed surface won't absorb stains the way bare concrete does. Direct sun won't fade the material itself, though the white pigment may show weathering over multiple seasons of UV exposure.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it out through moderate winters, but bringing it inside during extreme cold protects the sealant from repeated freeze-thaw cycles that will eventually compromise it. If you store it outside year-round, elevate it slightly so water doesn't pool underneath and freeze against the base. Wipe it down with a damp cloth in spring to remove any salt or mineral deposits left by snow melt.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 15-inch diameter fits beside a lounge chair or at the end of an outdoor sofa without blocking walkways, and the 47-pound weight keeps it from tipping in wind. Pair it with pieces from our outdoor side tables collection to create flexible drink-height surfaces around a seating group, or use it as a single accent next to a chair in a reading nook. The white finish balances darker wicker or wood furniture, and it reads as modern alongside metal frames from our outdoor bistro tables and outdoor coffee tables ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

The sealed concrete construction is designed for outdoor use, though bringing it inside during extreme winter conditions extends the life of the sealant and prevents freeze-thaw damage over time.

Will the white finish fade in direct sun?

The concrete material itself resists UV damage, but the white pigmented finish may show some weathering after prolonged sun exposure across multiple seasons.

How do I clean it after a season outdoors?

Hose it down or wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap; the sealed surface won't absorb stains, so dirt and pollen rinse off easily.

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

Yes -- concrete doesn't rust, and the sealant protects against salt spray, though you should rinse it periodically to prevent surface buildup.

What height should a side table be next to a sofa?

A side table should sit within two inches of the sofa arm height for comfortable reach; at 19.25 inches tall, this table works well with standard 18- to 22-inch sofa arms.

Does assembly or delivery cost extra?

The table ships fully assembled at no charge to the continental USA. White-glove delivery, in-room placement, and packaging removal are available upon request for an additional fee.
