Can these casters be used for outdoor furniture - are they weather-resistant?

I would think so. I don't know if the Sun might do something to them but I don't think cold or rain would affect them at all.

Yes, you can use them outside, butI would question the plastic portion of the chair may not handle the out door environment due to UV rays etc. the legs may rust over time aswell. Great chair though

They look like they are made of hard plastic like PVC. I would think they would work outside. I used them in my shed for a workbench.

I havent tried it. When not in use i put them in plastic in garage. So my cushions still look new. I dont leave them out in the elements. Our seating area has overhang. The furniture itself is very lightweight. Moves easily when you sit down. Worldmarket etc has heavier more substancial.

Yes, most definitely. I cannot see the chairs being blown around unless there was a significant wind storm. Coastal winds would not be an issue.

I don't believe they are, although if you can put them in an area that is no directly exposed to rain or snow they might be ok. If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or humidity, I would contact the manufacturer and see if they can give a bit more information. If you were to put them in a covered patio area, that would help.

No. The seat is a soft material that does wick away some amounts of liquid, but would not be able to stand up to a rainfall. Also, it has no weatherproof, so the metal would probably start to rust if left outside. It is a nice, sturdy chair, but I would not recommend it for outdoor use.

I would not recommend keeping them outside. I have used mine outdoors and brought them back in when finished, but I don't think it would hold up if permanently left outside.

Yes. So far, after the first winter, they are waterproof and have protected the patio furniture well. We did however remove the cushions over the winter and stored them in our garage attic.

We have not exposed it to the outdoor elements. However, we keep it in our garage and live in a four season state. The table is holding up just great. Hope that helps

Yes, I only use my chairs outdoors and after two years, they are still in very good condition. The pads can take some beating and will get weathered as one would expect. I am in DC and we have hot, humid summers and decent winters so the pads and chairs to get tested. I wouldn't think twice about using them outside and I think you can expect the chairs themselves to last at least five years, while the pads could probably go three if you want them looking like a 4 out of 5 condition. I hope this helps.

Yes, I think they would be fine. Depending where you live, I wouldn't want to leave them out in snow, although they might be OK. Nice rustic looking tables!

Yes, they are removable and weatherproof. The chairs are actually pretty comfortable even without the cushions, so we dont use them very much. :-). But very nice set so far, and we definitely recommend it.

Yes! We purchased them last summer for an outdoor bar that is not covered. We live just north of Dallas and they went through 100 degree temps in the summer then three snow/sleet events in the winter. We tilt them up against the bar when it rains so that water can't puddle on the wood seats. They still look great!

We use them for exterior with no problems. They are somewhat protected by our carport but are holding up fine

Mine is located on a covered deck, therefore not a lot of exposure to weather. However, I also have a log arbor made from the same white cedar and has been exposed to rain and snow for years and it still looks great. On both items I did apply a high quality red cedar stain. Without stain the cedar will turn gray in color over time (not at all harmful to the wood). Cedar is naturally impervious to rot and insects, so I don't think you need to worry about exposure to weather. The overall quality of the chair is very good... very sturdy and not flimsy at all. I hope this is helpful.

Stephen, yes they are waterproof, tested many times this summer on the rainy east coast and not a drop of water on my new patio furniture cushions. They will fade in the sun, no big deal. After a few years you can discard and replace.
