The Compact West Elm Coffee Table I’m Buying for Summer Lounging (It’s on Sale!)

Once the days start getting longer, I love spending significantly more time outside. That’s why it’s so important for me to have outdoor furniture that’s just as comfortable as it is beautiful. Because my current patio set has seen much better days, I’ve been on the lookout for new pieces that will help elevate my space. My search led me to West Elm’s huge outdoor furniture sale, where you can score up to 60% off chic furniture finds.

As soon as I spotted the Portside Low Outdoor Coffee Table, I knew it had to be mine. It doesn’t hurt that it’s marked down $201, bringing the price from $449 to $248.

The Portside Low Coffee Table is a compact 31.25×31.25-inch table with a surface that’s roughly 10 inches from the ground. It’s great to pair with cozy floor cushions to instantly create a laid-back outdoor space. The table also has just enough surface area for small meals, books, and plants, which makes it an ideal gathering spot when you’re hosting small parties or a comfy place to plant yourself when you want some time alone.

The table has a weathered, rustic finish and a solid tropical wood build that makes it durable and moisture-resistant. Plus, since the table is sealed with a protective topcoat, it’s well-equipped for outdoor use. West Elm recommends a Portside furniture cover to preserve the longevity of the piece, help prevent unwanted color variations, and reduce wear and tear over time.

As a shopping editor, I’m constantly browsing West Elm sales, and this is one you don’t want to miss (especially since one of the finishes has already sold out). If you’re looking for a furniture piece to bring an element of relaxing, coastal charm to your outdoor space, this is it.
