How would this hold if i just leave them outside? House is packed, would i be able to leave them outside in rainy days or store inside only?

and yes, it probably will rust eventually, but apartment is packed here too so hopefully he'll outgrow before it rusts

my sons has been outside for 2 weeks now. seems fine so far. But assembly is more of an issue & the wobbliness of the entire thing. I wouldn't buy it again BUT my son does love it & its safe enough with constant supervision. I'll have a more accurate answer on weather in a month or so

I store them outside underneath a wooden balcony. While the balcony does offer some protection, I am amazed that I never find water in my bins! They look like they shouldn't be waterproof but they have proven to be so!

Mine is located inside my house. Just looking at how it's built it doesn't look like it could survive long outside. I suppose it would work fine, but eventually the humidity, sun, and other elements would wear it down.

I see no issue with keeping them outside in the elements of the summer. I store mine in the garage after using them though.

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've used mine outdoors on a number of occasions around a table for a picnic on a concrete patio. They worked fine. I would definitely bring them back inside after each use, though.

If it freezes where you live and stays frozen for several days I would not leave them outside. The have some weight to them but I don't think they are too heavy to move. I put the plants in the container they either came in or a different one and then put them in the pot so they are easy to move. Hope this helps.

Mine are outside under a covered porch but the rain blows in on them and they are in full southern sun all afternoon. About 6 months so far and they look brand new. The material looks like it will survive anything, The finish may fade eventually and they may rust. I wouldn't have any concerns about leaving them outside with a cover.

Not sure what you mean by stored. Mine sits outside on a table, but I have a balcony overhead. It does get wet when it rains. It will stay outside until October and then I'll put it in my storage facility. I wouldn't leave it uncovered outside over the winter. There is one drawback of leaving it outside now - there are lots of spider webs and leaves. I need to whip down the grill, outside and inside, before I use it.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

You could try refrigeration in a paper bag. I believe they keep longer in a paper bag as the moisture isn't locked in.

Absolutely not. I had some that got a little wet, and I noticed they will probably fall apart pretty quick. I used them indoors at a flea market, and they work great for that. Sun, rain, weather, will probably not have them around long. As someone else pointed out you will probably want some sort of plastic tag with a Sharpie.

yes, we definitely used them outside and if we forgot to bring them in when it rained, I simply took paper towels or a dish towel and dried them off. You can run on them and they do not break.

I suppose you can leave them out. But; you need to replace them with something. The are what add rigidity to the structure. Mine has lasted for over two years now. through some pretty good storms. Don't know what would have happened if those shelves were not there.

they are not weather proof. You could use them on a dry evening if you don't leave them out overnight.

I wouldn't recommend it for that then. They will eventually go away, but it takes time & rain. You probably wouldn't want to risk it. Unless you can easily sweep it up.

Make it is dry before packing away. I leave mine out for a whole day drying in the sun before packing it up and don't put in basement where it is damp.
