Product Insights
Blomus's Stay Steel Outdoor Side Table balances wind resistance and portability: its low profile and encased iron core ballast keep it stable without extra weights, yet its 7.3-lb weight makes it easy to move—provided it sits on a flat, hard surface like a deck or patio, as it lacks adjustable feet and may wobble on grass or gravel. The steel-like finish resists salt air and UV damage, requiring only a water rinse, while the fully encased ballast remains rust-free for life, reflecting Blomus's 60-year design heritage.

Deep Research
How the weighted base handles windy conditions
- With a 15.75-inch diameter top and a low 17.75-inch height, the table presents a relatively small cross-section to lateral forces, inherently reducing the sail effect; the added 7.3 lbs of ballast then shifts the overturning wind speed well above typical sustained patio breezes.
- Iron's density (7.9 g/cm³) is nearly triple that of aluminum (2.7 g/cm³), so the internal core provides meaningful heft without bulking up the slim profile — the weight is concentrated exactly where it's most effective, lowering the center of mass and raising the tip-over threshold far beyond what a hollow aluminum tube could achieve.
- The full-diameter flat base converts the table's 7.3-lb mass into a broad frictional anchor on hard surfaces, resisting both skidding and initial lift — unlike pedestal or tripod designs that concentrate force, this table plants itself flat, making it particularly dependable on decks, stone, and concrete.
- The iron core is fully encased within the powder-coated aluminum shell, which means the corrosion-susceptible material never sees rain, salt, or UV — the ballast remains effective for the life of the table without the maintenance headaches of exposed weights or rust-prone base fills.
The Stay collection and Blomus design language
- The table's name directly encodes its key functional trait — the Stay collection uses a central iron core explicitly designed to resist wind displacement, so the outdoor side table isn't just a surface; it's a piece of weather-adaptive engineering that likely defines the entire line.
- Blomus, founded in 1960, has spent six decades refining architectural minimalism with a focus on matte metal finishes — this table inherits that lineage, meaning its clean lines and powder-coated aluminum are a deliberate design extension of the brand's established house aesthetic rather than a seasonal look.
- The product name 'Stay Steel' refers to the visual weight and industrial texture of the powder-coated finish, not the substrate — this alignment with Blomus's steel-heavy accessories catalog (from bathroom fixtures to candleholders) ensures visual harmony when the table is pulled indoors next to other Blomus metal pieces.

Q&A
5 answered- What is the total weight of the table, and is the central iron core removable for storage?
- The 40 cm table weighs approximately 3.32 kg (about 7.3 lbs) [1]. The central iron core is integrated for stability and is not designed to be removable [1].
- What tools are required for assembly, and approximately how long does it take?
- Assembly requires basic tools—typically an Allen key or screwdriver for attaching the top to the base. The process usually takes about 10–15 minutes.
- How does the powder-coated aluminum finish hold up in coastal or salty environments—is additional maintenance needed?
- Yes, powder-coated aluminum is well-suited for coastal environments. The non-porous, corrosion-resistant finish provides durable protection against salt air [2]. To maintain it, periodically rinse with fresh water and clean with a soft, damp cloth—avoid abrasive cleaners [3].
- Does the powder-coated finish resist UV fading in direct sunlight over time?
- The powder coating uses a super-durable polyester formula that offers strong UV resistance, helping the finish resist fading and chalking over years of sun exposure [4]. Regular cleaning will help preserve its appearance.
- How stable is the table on uneven surfaces like grass or gravel?
- The table is designed with a flat base and an integrated iron core that adds weight for wind stability [5]. On soft or uneven surfaces like grass or gravel, it may not sit perfectly level; it's best used on a firm, flat surface for optimal stability.
