Can I use it for out door? Will it last?

This won't hold up outdoors unless you treat it with some kind of waterproofing product.

I suspect that one could use it outside BUT would highly recommend that the bench be given a coat or two of a sealer to protect the wood from the elements. I use my bench at the foot of the bed so have no experience about it lasting when using outside.

You may want to protect the wood with some wood oil, wax, or water repellant. I used teak oil when I got my bench and kept it outside all summer. I brought it inside in the winter - it gets very cold here and we have lots of snow in MN.

The bench is easy to put together and well constructed. I had to coat it with tung oil since my sprinkler caused water spots. I will probably have to do so again before the summer. Lasting so far!

I live in Boise, Idaho. I keep it under an awning all year long. It is lasting throughout all of our weird weather. I did not seal it last year, but may want to do it to preserve the wood for upcoming summer.

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.

Don't know , but i guess you can use it outdoor , but it will not last long.

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

I guess you could take it outside if your patio is covered. We bought it before the birth of our child. We've had it for3 years now. It still looks good. A little squeaky. But it cleans up easily and fabric stays soft.

I would say it will last better than the outside... my outside only lasted 3 months

I do not think it would last long outside exposed to heat or cold. The wood is very light weight. Perfect indoors.

This is definitely not weather resistant and would most likely cease to function or create risk of electrical fire if used out of doors. If left outside only during good weather it would probably be fine.

I think the manual says it can be used outside. We have only used ours inside.

We only used this indoors but I do not see why you could not use it out doors. I would check with the manufacture if you have any questions.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

It is made of wood, so I am not sure it would last as long if used outside in bad weather. If used outside on a nice day, it would probably be fine.

It is fine to go outside. Mine has been out there for over a month and it is working great

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

It would look great outside but I can't answer on the durability outdoors as I have mine in my living room

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

It says that you can, I useed it on the outside of my house, it works great!

Sure! It's great for outdoor use - although you may not want to leave it outdoors since the legs are metal.
