It's never gotten hot, I do have a cushion on it, but also use it without the cushion. We gotten as high as 90 degrees, no problem. I recoment it

Ours sits in the shade all day so heat is not a problem. I would assume that it would get hot in the sun if exposed for any length of time, as would all metal. We also put a seat and back cushion on it, so we may not be the best resource to answer the question. It is a nice unit and seems solid. We're happy.

I live in Texas and plan to put this glider on my balcony. However, my balcony is still being built so I haven't used it yet. It is assembled and sitting on the patio. I did sit in it for a while on the patio this weekend (no cushion) and the temperature was in the 90's and I didn't feel any significant discomfort.

It does get warm. I have added a cushion to the bottom seat and now I can sit out there at anytime of day.

Not sure if you are putting it in full sun. Mine is in partial shade. So always nice, not too hot.

Yes it gets extremely hot. You can put under a patio as long as you have at least 18 inches, but that also depends what your patio is covered with.

The table has sat out all summer, lots of rain, no rust.....EXCEPT...the screen that you put over the fire to prevent sparks flying has rusted after we used it for a fire. The fire burned the paint off. Was thinking about spraying it with the spray paint for high heat. The table itself is very nice.

I would like to share that this unit weathers very quickly. We have had it since July 2013 and the canopy is all faded and its looking old. So, I would encourage you to continue your searches.....hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

Our unit does not get hot underneath ...... we were originally going to put ours on an outdoor rug but the unit is so heavy it was going to be very difficult to move every time I wanted to clean the deck!

No problem at all. I had my first Brabantia on my second story deck, and it was very windy. The Brabantia held up very well for years. When we moved I gave my Brabantia to my son and I bought a new one for myself.

It doesn't get very hot below, I've used it outdoors over a wood-chip path before with no concern. I'd be wary of plastic, but probably wouldn't be a problem. Luckily, heat rises!

On a very sunny day it will get pretty hot, but any metal would. It seems to remain cooler than some metals do, to me.

We have our gazebo on the rooftop deck in Chicago (think windy city), while it is vented very well, in high winds it did start to shake and move, so we ended up screwing it to the deck and filling the hollow columns with sand (about 1 80lbs bag per column), the combination of the sand and the screws makes it rock solid. In the winter we take the canvas down so not to get snow build-up. If your not in as windy a place, you might just try the sand trick.

I thought it was weather reisistant too .... but ours began to rust shortly after putting it on the deck. Now halfway into the summer, it is covered in rust at nearly every spot where the metal weaves over & under each other!! VERY disappointed & would love to have my money back!!!

My set is in the sun, near the pool. I do keep an umbrella open all season long, and for that reason I think this helps.I have not had any complaints about the chairs being too hot from family or guests.

We have our glider on our screened porch and have not seen any rust as yet. We've had the glider for a year and are very happy with it.

I live in Tampa, FL and I'm thinking of planting this around the pool decking. Has anyone had any trouble with the heat in Tampa? It will be in full sun.

I did on my outside deck, but make sure it's warm/hot outside when it's done. I live in ohio and so far it's doing fine..

We have ours on a metal patio table. I'm thinking that it would be too hot for a plastic table

Everyone loves this bench. Have not noticed it getting hot at all, don't think it will burn the kids. It sits in full sun in the summer, but e are in the mountains of NC so we don't get over 85 very often though, so if you are in a very hot climate my answer may not be right for you.

Gets extremely hot - I wouldn't recommend it on a wooden deck. We have it on our patio with a grill pad underneath it to protect the patio from rust marks.
