Would this bench be ok on a closed in concrete storage porch? Can it get wet? not soaking wet but shoe wet

No I wouldn't recommend this to use that way it will fall apart fast. It is made for inside

Ours is on a concrete floor in a garage. We don't put wet shoes on it because the shelves are laminated wood, I think the finish would buckle quickly with damp things on it consistently.

I am Not sure. A small amount of water may not be an issue. we have Ours at the entryway and we have snow and other weather so it does get some wear and tear, and its holding up well. This is a quality product. Much better than most cheap particle board pieces. I ordered two of them actually! Hope this helps.

I'm not sure if it can get wet since it is wood. I don't really like any wooden furniture to get wet since water will usually damage it, but it definitely works for a small space.

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

My bench is outdoors. Because I live in Florida near the beach, I put a coat of teak oil on it. It is holding up very well, no problems so far. I love it, it is just the right size for my patio.

It would be fine being outside as long as it's under a patio or something that will save it from getting wet.. The the picture comes on a wood canvas so a lot of moisture I believe will ruin the wood. I have this piece in my dining room it's absolutely beautiful..

Yes it can be left in rain cushions dry fast and I had no rust at all during my first summer of use.

If one spills water upon the bench, it will NOT be absorbed into the wood. I would NOT leave it outside, or in the rain, maybe it could remain in a covered area. It is too nice a wood bench to leave outside, and I do not think it would age well. But for the price, it would be worth using outside, on an occasional basis. This is not as water resistant as a plastic bench. It is really kinda nice.

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.

I wouldn't leave it outside all the time, but I think if you got caught in a rain it would be ok. I would dry it as soon as you could tho. The chair is metal base with a seat and back that's like a sturdy vinyl-canvas material. I think it's well made but should be stored inside when not in use. Would last longer.

I would not use this outside unless it in an area that is protected from the weather. I doubt this would be water-tight and might fill with water if rained on.

We have ours indoors. I suppose it would be "okay" if it doesn't get wet however there are tables meant for outdoors. Otherwise, it's a great table.

Mine is under a covered patio. where the sit lifts up. I am doutful if this is rain and snow proof. It would be great for packages as it has lots of room.

I have mine under my porch, but it does get wet & dries pretty quick. I love mine, wish I had a couple more!

Our furniture is on a covered porch. We use the cover if it's going to rain, but if we forget, the cushions will get wet. In a light rain, the water beads and can be dried off easily. If they get a little more wet, we just stand them on their side and they dry very quickly. We've had the set for more than a year and love it. The cushions will fade in the sun, but I'm not aware of any that won't have some amount of fading in sunlight.

I wouldn't say it is waterproof, but it's pretty water tight. Mine is installed under a covered porch. I don't think it would hold out water if submersed, but unless it is subjected to severely heavy rain regularly, I think it would be okay.

I woulds say that would depend on moisture...being this bench is not just stained pine I would not suggest you let it get wet or damp to many times........hope this helps

No. It is definitely not designed for outside, but would probably do OK outside on a covered porch.

I suppose you could as it is made to get wet. Really can't think of any reason why you couldn't other than the size. It is not very wide (as it is designed to wrap around a 2x4 piece of wood, check the width of this item.) and depending on your porch size, up might end up with a lot of seams.
