Iron Outdoor Accent Stool – Vintage White Finish

An iron accent stool in Vintage White, a finish with visible variation and wear rather than an even coat of paint. Iron is heavy for the stool's size, which is the whole character of the piece: it stays exactly where it is put.

Iron behaves differently outdoors from aluminum or steel. It rusts, and on a piece finished to look aged that is less a fault than a direction of travel, since surface rust breaking through a distressed white finish is consistent with how the piece is meant to look. It does mean the finish is doing real protective work, so a chip left on an exposed edge will spread further than it would on a powder-coated steel frame.

It works as a plant stand, as a low surface beside a chair, or as an occasional seat. Its weight makes it a good choice for an exposed terrace where lighter pieces move in wind.
