Uri 18 in. Square Terrazzo Garden Stool

Details at a Glance

Terrazzo cement delivers the textural finish outdoor spaces need without the fragility of pure clay, and this stool's matte pigmented surface holds up to rain and sun exposure for seasons of patio use. The Emissary Uri 18 in. Square Terrazzo Garden Stool -- a handcrafted cement stool that works as extra seating, a side table, a plant stand, or a footrest -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. You'll use it indoors and out, moving it where you need function fast.

How Well Does Terrazzo Cement Stand Up to Rain and Sun?

The pigmented cement construction resists moisture and UV without the glaze-cracking you see in traditional ceramic. Terrazzo's matte finish hides wear better than high-gloss surfaces, and the material won't rust or corrode the way metal can in humid climates. You should store this stool indoors during hard freezes -- cement can crack if water infiltrates and freezes -- but it handles summer storms and direct sun without fading or weakening.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes, when temperatures drop below freezing. Cement absorbs trace moisture over time, and if that water freezes it can fracture the material. Wipe the stool with a damp cloth before you move it in -- never use household cleaners or solvents, which can stain the porous surface. If you live where winters stay mild, you can leave it out year-round.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 14 x 13 inch top is wide enough to hold a tray of drinks or a potted succulent, and the 18-inch height puts it at coffee-table level beside lounge furniture. Tuck it into a corner as overflow seating when you're entertaining, or pair it with our outdoor garden seats to create flexible zones that shift with how you use the deck. Indoors, it works as a plant pedestal in an entryway or a side table next to a sofa -- the square profile slides under chair arms more easily than a round drum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It's weather resistant through rain and sun, but you should store it indoors during freezing weather to prevent cracking from ice expansion.

Will the terrazzo finish fade in direct sun?

No -- the pigment runs through the cement, so UV exposure won't bleach or discolor the surface.

How do I store it over winter?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth, let it dry completely, and move it into a garage, shed, or covered porch where it won't be exposed to freeze-thaw cycles.

Can I use this as a side table for drinks?

Yes -- the 14 x 13 inch top provides a stable platform for glasses, books, or a decorative tray.

What's the difference between this and a ceramic garden stool?

Ceramic stools are kiln-fired clay with a glaze; this is molded terrazzo cement with a matte finish that's less prone to chipping.

Does it ship assembled?

Yes, it arrives ready to use with free curbside delivery to the continental United States.
