Know before you buy
The table is crafted from recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a durable, weather-resistant plastic derived from recycled milk jugs. It is specifically engineered to be UV-resistant and waterproof, meaning it won't rot, splinter, or fade easily when left outside year-round.
Maintenance is very straightforward. You can simply clean the surface with soap, water, and a soft-bristle brush to remove dirt or debris. Because the material is non-porous, it does not require sealing, painting, or staining.
Yes, the table weighs 20 pounds and features a sturdy construction with USA-made aluminum inserts for added structural integrity. This weight is generally substantial enough to prevent it from being blown over during typical outdoor weather.
The table arrives flat-packed and requires assembly. All necessary hardware is included, and the design is straightforward enough that it can typically be put together with basic tools in a short amount of time.
The HDPE material is UV-stabilized, which helps the vibrant colors resist fading even with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. While some minor weathering can occur over many years, the color is consistent throughout the material, not just applied as a surface finish.
