Does this 'breathe' at all? I love the idea of this, but am concerned about moisture being trapped underneath and leading to rot on the wood undernea

Not breathable, it does hold moisture underneath. I can use it as I have concrete patio.

It does not breathe. It stays wet all the time. It's the one think that I'm not happy about.

It does trap water underneath. I use it on a pavered area, so it works for me. The product is very good quality however. Hope it helps.

I have not had that problem... it has holes for ventilation... very comfortable!

We vent ours into an easily accessible attic so humidity has not been a problem in our house. The attic is warmer but not any more humid. It does work well in gathering lint. However, our removable lint door has started coming off when the dryer is turned on. I use 2 large rubber bands to hold it in place and that works OK. Hope this helps.

Yes. However it does absorb water into the wood but it kept everything dry inside. It is not air/bug tight as there are a few small gaps along edges after assembling.

It's not air tight. We use it to store our cushions as well and some moisture does get in as the lid does not close tightly - especially if the cushions are in there snugly. We have to put a weight on top to keep the lid down.

I use this in my bedroom at night, and set it on a wood side table. I have not had any problems with condensation on the table or anything around the diffuser. The mist it emits is so fine that it doesn't seem to settle anywhere in particular, just diffuse into the air.

I have not found moisture to be a problem at all, but we live in a fairly dry climate. We actually have a humidifier on our furnace. You probably don't need a dehumidifier. I am very satisfied with this product!

Nope - all of the excess moisture is released as steam through a small vent in the top. If you operate it under your kitchen cabinet though the steam will warp the wood above (I noticed when it was too late lol).

No, you wont feel air coming out of this unit! I was thinking the same way when I purchased mine. I just provides a constant warmness through out the safe!!

It is suitable for damp locations. I think do. But always rely on a professional's advance! :) it is "air tight".

I live in a humid climate and have not experienced this. My rack is in a utility room which is insulated but which I shut off to save utility costs. I use it 2-3 times a week with damp items. I was very fond of my wooden one which mildewed and. broke down after years of service. This one is performing like a champ.

I had the same problem. I solved it by replacing the charcoal "bowl" with something that was much better ventilated. This allowed the charcoal to burn much better and not get smothered due to lack of oxygen. Since then, I've found other people solved this same problem by drilling holes in the charcoal "bowl".

I have not experienced it gooing up in humidity but when it gets wet it does. But I still love the stuff! Works great!

It does not produce moisture on its own. You must introduce moisture via a damp cloth. It works fine that way.

Hello and HNY;I have hot had that happen. I am using this for the second winter. I havein thecenter of the room, not out of the way. There is a lot of air around it. Good luck, Ihave really good luck with it.

Is this material breathable? Or would it retain moisture/humidity from your body inside?

I have mine in a screened enclosure under a roof, but it still gets wet in a hard windy rain and I live in Florida where the summer are HOT and HUMID. I washed my hammock in the bath tub after Spring pollen stopped falling by soaking in warm water with a mild detergent, then rinsing with the hand shower. I have had my hammock since March 2013 and I am pleased with how it has performed in our climate. No hammock lasts forever here, but I suspect this one will last me at least 2 or three years. My former hammock was made of nylon string and it started to disintegrate, covering everything that got in it (my cats included) with fine nylon dust. This is probably WAY more than you wanted to know, but I hope it was helpful. :)
