Handmade from salvaged timbers including acacia, pine, and rubberwood, this oval garden stool brings warm, weather-ready character to patios, porches, or indoor nooks. Each stool is fashioned from leftover wood from furniture production, kiln-dried and pressure-treated for improved resistance to rot and insects. The finished piece measures 16" in diameter, 19" tall, and weighs about 10 lbs, providing portable functionality for decorating and entertaining while supporting up to 240 lbs.

How durable is the Maya Oval for outdoor use?

This stool is built for seasonal outdoor life by combining reclaimed timbers with kiln-drying and pressure treatment to extend longevity against moisture and pests. While not maintenance-free, occasional care will keep its appearance and performance.

• Constructed from reclaimed acacia, pine, and rubberwood for natural strength
• Pressure-treated and kiln-dried to reduce rot and insect damage
• Seasoned patina finish helps hide wear while emphasizing grain and texture
• Supports up to 240 lbs—suitable for seating or holding heavy planters

Can I use the stool as both seating and a side table?

Yes—the Maya Oval is intentionally versatile. Its stable oval top and compact footprint make it a practical temporary seat or a display surface beside a chair, sofa, or planter group.

• 16" diameter top fits small drinks, a potted plant, or a bedside stack of books
• 19" height aligns with many outdoor chairs and low sofas for comfortable use
• Lightweight (about 10 lbs) for easy repositioning around gatherings
• Rustic texture and patina add decorative interest whether indoors or out

What makes these stools environmentally thoughtful?

The Maya Oval is created from reclaimed wood left over from furniture manufacturing, giving material a second life instead of sending it to landfill. Choosing upcycled furniture reduces demand for new lumber and highlights each piece's unique markings and history.

• Made from salvaged acacia, pine, and rubberwood offcuts
• Each stool displays one-of-a-kind grain patterns, knots, and aged patina
• Reusing material minimizes waste from furniture production processes
• Longer lifespan when cared for means fewer replacements over time

How should I care for the seasoned patina finish?

Basic upkeep will preserve the stool’s appearance and structural integrity when used outdoors. Regular cleaning and occasional protective treatments help slow weathering while allowing the reclaimed wood’s character to deepen gracefully.

• Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and pollen; dry promptly
• Apply a clear exterior wood sealer or teak oil once or twice a year for extra protection
• Store under cover or indoors during winter or prolonged wet spells to reduce wear
• Address scratches with light sanding and reapply finish if desired
