Constructed of 100% weather-resistant Polystyrene (HIPS – High Impact Polystyrene), the side table (with shelf) is UV protected and designed for indoor or outdoor use. Unlike wooden furniture, the simulated wood will not fade, peel, chip, splinter nor rot when exposed to the elements and never needs to be painted or varnished. It is easy to clean and seamlessly complements any outdoor décor, making it a versatile addition to your patio, deck, garden, indoor sunroom or poolside.
