Product Description
OUTDOOR CONCRETE SIDE TABLE
He Holds It Up With Both Paws
A black bear sits back on his haunches with both forelegs raised above his head, and the table top rests on his upturned paws. It is a cut log slice, rings showing, edges rough.
The pose does the whole job. A bear beside a table is an ornament next to furniture. A bear straining to hold the table up is a piece of comedy that also happens to work as a side table, and it is the reason people put a drink on it and then take a photograph.
The face is cartoon rather than realistic, with wide eyes and a rounded muzzle, and the paw pads are picked out in brown. Concrete throughout, sealed for outdoor use.

What Makes This Piece Different
- The pose is the product. Both paws up, weight overhead, expression somewhere between effort and resignation. A bear standing next to a table would be decoration. A bear holding the table is a joke that keeps working every time someone sets a glass down on it, and that is what separates this from every plain end table at the same price.
- A real log slice for a top. Growth rings across the surface, rough bark at the edge, cast in the same concrete. It reads as timber cut through rather than as a disc.
- Cartoon rather than realistic. Wide eyes, round muzzle, brown paw pads. Realistic would make the pose look like distress. Cartoon makes it funny, which is the correct decision for a piece doing this job.
- Concrete, so it lives outside. Sealed for year round weather. It does not need bringing in, and at this weight it does not move when someone leans on it.
Where to put it
Beside a chair on a patio or a deck, at the end of a bench, on a covered porch. It is a conversation piece as much as a table, so put it where people sit rather than tucked out of the way. Facing the seating, since the front is where the joke is.

Setup, Care, and Warranty
Placement
One piece, nothing to assemble. Set it on level solid ground so the top sits true.
Face the bear toward the seating. From behind you lose the pose entirely.
Using the top
The log slice takes a drink, a book, a plant or a lantern. A coaster is worth using for anything cold and wet, as with any painted surface.
Keeping the paint
Rinse and wipe with a soft cloth. Afternoon shade holds the black and the brown paw pads deeper for longer than relentless sun.
Winter
Sealed concrete stays outside year round. Keep it off ground that holds standing water.
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
How does it differ from the realistic bear statue?
Completely. That one is a bear on all fours with fur texture and no function, meant to look real. This one is a cartoon bear holding a table top overhead. Same animal, opposite intent.
How much can the top hold?
Drinks, books, a plant, a lantern. It is a side table surface rather than something to sit on, and the concrete construction handles normal use easily.
Which way should it face?
Toward the seating. The raised paws and the expression are the front, and from behind it is a dark shape with a disc on top.
Can it stay out all year?
Yes, sealed concrete for year round outdoor use. Just keep it off ground that puddles.
