Zac Concrete Outdoor Side Table

Details at a Glance

Concrete gives you UV resistance and weight stability that lighter materials can't match -- this table won't tip in wind and won't fade after a season in the sun. The Zac Concrete Outdoor Side Table stands 18 in. tall on a 14 in. square base, weighs 35.2 lbs, and is available at LOOMLAN Outdoor with free shipping. Its hydrographic beige finish adds texture to the concrete while helping protect the core from moisture.

How Well Does Concrete Handle Sun and Rain?

Concrete resists UV exposure naturally -- it won't bleach or crack under direct sun the way plastic or untreated wood will. The hydrographic water-dipped finish seals the surface against light rain and humidity, though you'll want it under a roof or overhang during heavy storms and winter freezes. It's rated for 0--40°C, so it handles moderate temperature swings without issue. The 35.2-lb weight means it stays put in wind, and that same heft makes it work as emergency seating when you need an extra spot on the patio.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

If you have a covered porch or patio overhang, you can leave it out year-round within its 0--40°C range. Hard freezes and standing water can stress any concrete finish over time, so moving it into a garage or covered area during the coldest months will extend its life. Wipe it down before storing, and keep it dry -- concrete breathes, and trapped moisture under tarps can encourage efflorescence. No oiling or sealing needed; just clean the surface with mild soap and water when it gets dusty.

Where Does This Work Best on a Patio or Deck?

The 14 in. square footprint fits next to a lounge chair or between two seats without blocking walkways, and the neutral beige pairs well with both our outdoor coffee tables and lighter outdoor side tables in mixed-material arrangements. Use it on a small balcony where space is tight, or group a few as a low accent cluster near outdoor bistro tables. It also works indoors in a sunroom or entryway when you want the look of concrete without committing to permanent placement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this stay outside all year?

It's rated for 0--40°C and performs best under a roof or overhang. Hard freezes and standing water can stress the finish, so move it to covered storage during extreme winter weather.

Will the finish fade in direct sun?

Concrete is naturally UV resistant, and the hydrographic finish helps maintain color consistency. The manufacturer recommends covered placement for longest life, but it won't bleach the way plastic or fabric will.

How do I store it over winter?

Wipe it clean, move it to a garage or covered porch, and keep it dry. Don't wrap it in tarps -- concrete needs airflow to prevent moisture buildup.

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

Concrete handles salt air better than metal, but you'll want to rinse it occasionally to prevent salt buildup on the finish.

Can I use this as extra seating?

Yes, the 35.2-lb weight and 14x14 in. base make it stable enough to sit on when you need an extra spot.

Does this ship free?

Yes, free curbside delivery to the continental USA with no minimum order.
