I live in S Florida so I can't help out with the cold question but it does come with a nice cover so the rain is not an issue. Granite is very durable.

We also live in the midwest. We purchased the unit in the summer of 2013. It survived the winter just fine. However, we also purchased a more-durable cover for the unit off of Amazon. Here is the link for a cover: The Outdoor GreatRoom Company 44-Inch by 44-Inch Black Vinyl Cover for Fire Pit Tables (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

It is sturdy and well-made. I have not had mine through a winter, but I don't think I would leave it outside with water in it - - anything might crack if it freezes where you live.

I live in Northern Ontario. I've had two bad winters with this top and there doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the snow. I do remove the snow before I drive it and on occassion, when it's sitting in the driveway. The top still looks brand new and it is still very tight.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

We have had it a couple of years. It sat out through our awful Midwest winters. Haven't seen any problems so far.

While it can withstand snow, as it melts it will go right through. I keep mine on all year as it keeps away most spring to fall debris and add a winter cover on top of it. I love this cover.. great purchase.

Not sure about winter but plastic is kinda thin so it might not with stand extreme cold

No, but I have one on my front porch and it's working fine. It's on a window sill and is protected from the weather. I also live in a warm and wet climate. I don't know how it would perform in a cold climate and I expect direct rain would ruin it. Mine isn't going to get wet where it is, even though it's outside.

We live in the northeast where it gets plenty cold and have ours in an enclosed porch that doesn't have heat and it is fine. Not sure if being outside and exposed to the elements would cause the fake wicker to wear differently.

I live in upstate NY and plan to bring it inside in the winter. It looks/feels pretty durable, I'm sure it would be fine if it was covered.

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

I have it attached to my home outside that faces SW. We've had many rain/snow/sleet/hail storms and it has remained just fine.

Hi, I live in Mn so I will not be leaving it up in winter. It will be dark here by 5:30 so not much sun. It is not like a patio umbrella that would protect you from the rain. You could stay under the shade in a light shower but not a full rain. It does block wind. Your patio will stay cooler because the floor, patio furniture etc. will not get hot, therefore will not radiate heat. Very durable. I added extra grommets for more support. I use bungee cords to hang mine. Definitely recommend.

Not sure I'm here in California. It will survive rain no problem don't know about freezing weather.

Have tried in the cold. I wouldn't use it in the rain, cause you'll just rust it out

We have ours outside on a covered porch. Out of the elements, but subjected to heat, humidity, and now cold. Still working great!

It never gets rain in it, but I can't answer for snow as I live in the desert. I love it and it's held up wonderfully.
