What happens if this sits outside and gets wet a lot?

Not a good idea to put it outside in moist, damp or any kind of wet weather. It is made of plywood and carpet. It will stay wet, probably grow mold, smell and then fall apart. It is a great product when kept indoors. I have had it for almost 3 years, it gets a lot of use and is in perfect condition. Just keep it clean and dry, it will last for many years. Do not use it as an outdoor piece.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

We live in FL and get lots of rain. The box is in our back yard under a large palm tree and we have not had any water get into the box. As another person said make sure when you put it together all parts snap tightly in place. Hope this helps.

Ours has been rained on and did fine. I wouldn't submerge it. It doesn't seem to have rubber seals to keep water out if you did.

Go dry... But if it rains on it than its no biggie.. This stuff works great and I was overly impressed. Probably any weather besides windy lol

I would not use it outside, but if water got spilled on it it would not do any damage , very nice bench.

I wouldn't let it get wet. It is great for indoor use. Very elegant look. It's glass and metal. I would not use it outdoors.

I don't leave my bike out in the weather. It has gotten wet from the lawn sprinkler. It doesn't soak up water as far as I can tell.

The product should probably not be used in wet environments. Don't leave it out in puddles or in the rain.

If it's walked on it'll get tracked all over like regular mulch. It won't absorb water like regular mulch does.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.

There will be a lot of water...so I wouldn't call it dry. Keep a towel handy, you will need one.

If this box sits out in the rain the contents of the compartmented parts holders in the lid and the contents of the box itself will not get wet. A driving downpour would get a little water past the lids just mentioned. If the box were dropped into standing water everything would get wet and the contents would get soaked.

The unit is weather resistant so it should be fine in normal rain, but it is not water-proof, so it obviously shouldn't be submerged.

it's just about 8 inches and it could certainly get wet. only a cord and metal ring that can be replaced at the hardware store if it ever got rusty

There is nothing on the package that says not for outdoor use. However I don't think I would let it get wet. Maybe use it under a patio or garage

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

Not really, if you assemble it carefully, but some moisture will get inside if this item isn't under cover and the rain blows really hard. I store outdoor toys in this bench so I put them inside large black plastic bags & tie them. The toys, such as badminton sets and horseshoe sets never get wet but sometimes I find water on the bags. I live in south Louisiana and we get long, hard rain storms. When we have a sunny day, I open the bench and let the water on the bags dry up.
