Viola Dining Table - Slate Grey Outdoor Dining Table

Details at a Glance

The Viola square dining table sits on a reclaimed teak base and carries a handmade lightweight concrete top that resists UV damage and holds up to rain without sealing or seasonal refinishing. The Seasonal Living Viola Dining Table -- a 45x45-in. square outdoor dining table in slate grey -- is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. The 134-lb construction weighs less than traditional stone yet handles weather with the same durability, making it a practical choice for rooftop gardens, covered patios, and open-air dining areas.

Will Lightweight Concrete Crack or Fade in Full Sun?

No -- this lightweight concrete top is UV resistant and formulated for full-sun exposure without fading or surface breakdown. The material is handcrafted from natural sands and hemp-like grass fibers, which create a durable, biodegradable matrix that stands up to heat, rain, and direct sunlight season after season. Each table is cast by batch, so you'll see natural color and veining variations that shift slightly from piece to piece -- this is a feature of the handmade process, not a defect. The matte finish doesn't show water spots or glare the way glossy surfaces do, and the concrete doesn't rust, splinter, or require oiling like some outdoor materials.

Do You Have to Cover It or Bring It Inside for Winter?

You can leave it outdoors year-round, though a waterproof cover prolongs the life of the reclaimed teak base and keeps the concrete top cleaner through snow and heavy rain. Lightweight concrete is weather-resistant and handles freeze-thaw cycles without cracking, so the table won't fail structurally if left uncovered. Wipe the top with a damp cloth after storms to prevent dirt buildup, and let the teak base age naturally to a silver-grey patina or treat it with teak oil if you prefer the original warm tones. If you're in a coastal area with salt air, rinse the base occasionally to slow the effects of salt on the wood.

Where Does a 45x45-Inch Square Table Work Best?

The square footprint seats four comfortably and fits smaller patios, rooftop gardens, and bistro-style setups where a long rectangular table would overpower the space. Pair it with outdoor dining tables in mixed materials to create zones on a larger deck, or keep it solo on a balcony. The slate grey concrete top pairs well with metal or wood seating -- try it with powder-coated aluminum chairs from our outdoor bistro tables collection for a modern look, or match it with teak chairs for a cohesive wood-and-concrete aesthetic. The matte finish blends into both contemporary and rustic settings, and the reclaimed teak base adds warmth without competing with bold outdoor cushions or tableware.
