Round Outdoor Side Table, 18 Inch Recycled Lumber, Navy

This is an 18 inch round outdoor side table in navy recycled lumber, meant to sit beside a lounge chair or at the edge of a hot tub and stay there year round. The round top and simple slatted base keep it visually quiet, which matters for a piece whose job is to hold a drink rather than draw attention. At 18 inches across and 18 inches tall it lines up with the arm height of most patio seating.

The material is the reason to buy this rather than a wood or powder-coated steel equivalent. It is a dense recycled plastic lumber with the color compounded into the material rather than painted on the surface, so it does not fade in direct sun the way a stained finish does, and it will not splinter, rot, crack, chip, or peel. There is no annual sanding or resealing. Cleaning is soap, water, and a soft brush. The hardware is marine grade, and the lumber carries a 20-year residential warranty.

It weighs 10 pounds, which is deliberate: heavy enough that wind does not walk it across a deck, light enough to reposition with one hand. Buyers rate it 4.8 stars across 595 reviews, and the recurring notes are that the color matches the listing photos exactly and that it holds up in coastal salt air. Deep navy also sits comfortably in the jewel-tone direction running through outdoor palettes right now.
