Outdoor Stool Appraisal

Cylindrical Stone or Concrete Side Table/Stool

This item is a cylindrical side table or stool, appearing to be crafted from a heavy material such as concrete or possibly a natural stone like granite or basalt, given its dark gray-to-black coloration and slightly textured surface. The top surface is flat and circular, exhibiting a lighter gray hue, which might indicate a polished or sealed finish that reflects light differently, or it could be a composite material with a different top layer. The body of the cylinder is uniformly dark gray, with subtle variations in tone that suggest either a natural aggregate texture common in concrete or the inherent mottling of certain stone types. The base of the cylinder appears to be a distinct, darker, possibly black, separate component or a painted/finished section of the main body, creating a subtle visual break near the floor. The overall construction suggests a solid and weighty piece of furniture. There are no visible prominent markings, carvings, or manufacturer's stamps from the provided image. The style is contemporary and minimalist, emphasizing clean lines and a robust, earthy aesthetic, making it suitable for modern or industrial interior designs. Its estimated age is likely modern, within the last few decades, due to its design simplicity. The condition appears good from the image, with no obvious cracks, chips, or significant wear visible, although the resolution makes fine detail assessment challenging. The quality indicates a well-made, sturdy piece designed for functional use as an accent table or additional seating.
