Is this sturdy enough to hold books? Will it keep books dry in rain and snow when outside?

there is some water seepage....I have my planting soil in a large rubbermaid ziplock & it's kept dry. It is sturdy to hold books, however, but keep them sealed in heavy plastic.

As stated by Gloria Carvagno, this Rubbermaid product is sturdy enough to store books, but is water resistant, not waterproof.

It's strong enough but not entirely waterproof. Water does leak in through the back of the seat.

As to sturdy yeah it is.but I don't consider this a waterproof storage product

My honest answer will be no.the seams are not that tight and waterproof (the edges where the arm rest, back and seat join together) unless you put a waterproof box inside it as well just to be sure

Yes, sturdy enough to hold books. It will not, however, keep anything dry in the rain - definitely not waterproof, but very sturdy!

It is pretty sturdy so I don't think you'd have any problem storing books as long as they are not too big. The shelves are about 7" deep.

It is fairly sturdy but I don't think it would support boxes of books but I have a container of knitting & crocheting things on top of it. I love the 2 I have and need 1 more!!!

I guess it would, however I would check the dimensions to see if it would be big enough to hold all you want to put in there. I have mine right outside in the weather and it does stay bone dry.

I wouldn't use it for heavy books, the material is a bit thin. It's more for lighter items I think.

Yes, the material is waterproof in that the rain runs off the sides, and not through. However, that being said, unless you have a very tiny table, it would not be a very dry sit during a rain storm. Nor would you want to leave a book out under it. I know, that really doesn't answer your question.

Yes very sturdy. I'm using it to hold very heavy books. This is a great product and looks as advertised

I use it to store books in a instructional manuals in a file cabinet that I don't use for that purpose. I think the problem wouldn't be whether it was strong enough to hold the construction paper (from my experience with this item it will be no problem at all) The only problem might be with the paper getting a bend in it if it's not packed in fairly tightly.

I would say yes, it probably is sturdy enough for books, but not ideal. It has no back on it & the top shelf is quite narrow, but it is pretty sturdy. I am only using it for towels & decorative items in my bathroom. It's perfect for that.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

It is sturdy. I have never tested its weight capacity but it is loaded most of the time. I'm also an architect and I have used to it hold code books that far outweigh even three Real Books at once.

If your investment is a Laptop. Then the answer is NO. It will keep it dry and has ample storge space for also carrying books. It is very rugged and tough. It is made of canvas so it is strong but its not padded very well.

If mounted to the wall or door, I think it would hold books well. Kids books often seem either very small or huge. You can check the item description for the depth of the shelf to determine if you could place them like a bookshelf or you'd need to display them with the cover/back against the wall/door. BUT, yes - I think it would really hold general house-stuff nicely, but securing it to the wall or door is essential especially if children will be using it. Gotta keep the little ones safe :) Thanks!

Yes, it is sturdy enough for outside. I keep one in our car for my wife to use when we go for appointments or out to eat. Very study and light enough to handle, putting in and out of car.

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 would say yes. I didn't try it yet under heavy rain, but the fabric seems to be water resistant. However, the zippers might play a big role in this, by keeping it watertight.

I hang several jackets, umbrellas, and even my purse on it without any problems. I do have baskets on the shelves and one on the bottom gets the tossed mail I don't want to go through right away so it has some weight to it. That might help with stability.
