Product Description
GARDEN STOOL
An Adult Sits On It
The product photograph shows a grown woman seated on this frog, feet on the ground, weight fully on the pad. That is the answer to the only question that matters about a garden stool at this price.
The frog crouches with the lily pad forming the seat across its back, webbed feet splayed at the front. Green throughout with a paler belly, and the pad edge curls slightly the way a real one does.
Fifteen inches is stool height rather than table height. It goes where you want somewhere to perch for a few minutes, at a border edge, beside a pond, on a porch.

What Makes This Piece Different
- It genuinely takes an adult, and there is a photograph of it. Cheap garden stools are ornaments that claim to be furniture, and you find out which when someone sits down. The product image here is an adult woman seated with her full weight on it. At this price that is worth more than any specification, because it removes the one doubt that stops people buying.
- A frog under a lily pad, which is the right way round. The pad is the seat and the frog is the support, so the sculpture explains the function instead of decorating it. A frog on top of a stool would be an ornament you cannot sit on.
- Fifteen inches, which is perch height. Low enough to sit comfortably at a border edge or beside a pond, and low enough to double as a plant stand or a spot for a drink when nobody is sitting.
- Concrete, so it stays outside. Sealed for year round weather. It does not need bringing in, covering, or worrying about in a downpour.
Where to put it
A pond edge, a border, a porch, beside a path where someone might stop for a minute. It reads best in green surroundings where a frog belongs. On a hard modern terrace it works as a plant stand more than as a character piece.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Placement
One piece, nothing to assemble. Set it on level solid ground so it does not rock when someone sits.
Soft soil under one foot is what causes a wobble. Paving, gravel or firm ground is better.
Sitting on it
It is built to take an adult. Sit down onto it rather than dropping onto it, as with any hard seat, and it will do the job for years.
Keeping the green fresh
Rinse and wipe with a soft cloth. A position with some afternoon shade holds the painted green deeper for longer than full sun does.
Winter
Sealed concrete stays outside year round. Check it is not sitting in standing water, which is the only condition that causes damage.
3-year warranty
This product includes a 3-year warranty against cracking. Coverage, claim requirements and required documents are subject to the warranty policy that applies at the time of purchase. Keep your order confirmation and contact customer support with your order details if service is needed.
Questions Before You Choose
Can an adult really sit on it?
Yes. The product photograph shows an adult seated with full weight on the pad. That image is there precisely because it is the question everyone asks.
How does it compare to the gnome stool?
The gnome is shown with a child on it and is the more whimsical of the two. This one is photographed with an adult and reads as a working seat first. Similar height, different intent.
Can I leave it out all winter?
Yes, sealed concrete for year round outdoor use. Just make sure it is not standing in a puddle.
What else can it be used for?
A plant stand, a side table for a drink, a step up for reaching a hanging basket. The flat pad top takes whatever you put on it.
