Outdoor Blodgett Brown Garden Stool

This garden stool is highly multi-functional, designed to serve as much more than a decorative accent. At 18 inches tall with a flat top, it is the ideal height to function as a side table for drinks and books next to a patio lounge chair. It also works beautifully as a sturdy plant stand for greenery or as a compact, movable seat for guests during gatherings. Its handcrafted ceramic construction and polished taupe finish allow it to transition seamlessly from a coastal-themed patio to an indoor mudroom or sunroom.

This stool is crafted from high-quality ceramic and protected by a smooth glaze finish. Glazed ceramic is an excellent material for outdoor use because it is naturally non-porous and resistant to moisture, which helps prevent the piece from absorbing water and deteriorating. Additionally, the glaze acts as a protective layer against UV rays, helping the intricate floral motif and taupe-and-white color palette remain vibrant even in sun-drenched environments like Florida or Arizona.

While the glazed finish makes this stool highly resistant to the rust and corrosion common in humid coastal climates, ceramic requires specific care in colder regions. In areas that experience freezing temperatures—such as North Georgia or the Carolinas—we recommend bringing the stool indoors during the winter. This prevents the "freeze-thaw" cycle, where moisture trapped in the ceramic can expand and cause the material to crack. For year-round durability in milder climates, a simple regular wipe-down is all that's needed to maintain its polished look.

Maintaining the "polished look" of this handcrafted piece is straightforward. Because the taupe and white glaze is smooth and moisture-resistant, our care guidelines recommend simply wiping it down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust, pollen, or outdoor debris. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners that could dull or scratch the polished surface.

Yes, this item is noted as requiring some assembly. While many ceramic stools are one-piece accents, always refer to the included instructions to ensure any base components or protective feet are properly secured. Once assembled, its sturdy ceramic build provides a stable surface for decor or functional use throughout your home or garden.

Absolutely. With a compact 13-inch by 13-inch footprint, this garden stool is specifically recommended for small-space living. It provides the utility of a side table or extra chair without the bulk of traditional patio furniture. For urban dwellers with limited square footage, these stools are easily tucked under a table or into a corner when not in use, making them a "search-favorite" for maximizing functionality on a small balcony.
