Is frame rust proof ? Aluminum? Weather proof for coastal patio ?

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

I have the tables with the frames. In MN they have sat outside all year long (including winter) for 3 years now. No issues. Plus, I have one in the Caribbean - outside in the salt air. No issue there either. I just wish the company would ship to the Virgin Islands, and provide cushion replacements and options for fabric.

We live in Phoenix area, so our answer doesn't apply to coastal climate. So far the frame appears to be a rust proof aluminum. We are happy wit its durability.

So far so good for me, I have only had them one season but left them out in lots of wet conditions and they seem to take it will. Very happy with them so far!!

I live near the coast of NJ and have had the chairs for several years now. I keep them outside and covered from End of Oct thru Mar/Apr. I have never had a problem.

yes, Don't let that deter your purchase. Being in a wet environment it will not rust or corrode.

I am using it outdoors. And no problem so far. The entire contain is hard plastic so it will not rust.

We've had several pieces for more than a year and "weather resistant" may be accurate but I don't think it's weatherproof. Soon as I assembled ours I sprayed with a rubberized paint. It seems to be good outdoor furniture and has held up well, but even with the paint there are numerous areas of a rust-like light stain. Not too bothersome to me and doesn't appear to be breaking down the material. But, again, I would not consider the furniture weather/rust-proof.

My glider sits on a screened porch, and the rain does not touch it. I do live in a humid client, however, about 10 miles from the ocean in SC. There is no evidence of rust anywhere and no squeaking in the 6-8 months I've had it.

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

I am using it on an outside porch. I have a lot of salt spray so it may eventually rust, but I think a little rustoleum spray will go along way if this happens. Has worked great so far! A little car polish can help add some protection as well.

I do not know if over time it will be rust proof however I doubt it will rust. There is no sign of rust at this early date. The black metal iron on portion of the frame is painted black and, should prevent rust yet I have no way of predicting.

1. Aluminum does not rust. 2. This is tempered glass so it does not change over the season. Hope this helps

I don't think the rack would rust during a rainstorm. Although I would be more concerned about any wind that might accompany the storm unless you have a spot to put the rack to keep the wimd from pushing it over with your clean laundry on it. The bars of the rack are nicely finished with plastic tips. So I wouldn't worry about the rust.

I purchased one for my kitchen. The frame is a chrome look, that would not rust but the joints are soldered and I guess it depends on what it is made of. Mine has not shown any sign of rust. You could put a clear coat of spray poly on the joints and it prob would be ok

The shelving units are intended primarily for indoor use and we have not conducted any extended outdoors testing to see how the materials would hold up in direct weather. I'm pretty confident that they would work well in a covered deck or porch area though. The acrylic shelves are UV resistant and do not yellow, the angle bar is aluminum and the shelf supports are nickel plated brass. Jim Baggett, ownerBeautiful Viewsbeautifulviews.net 864-507-0182

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.

Ours has been outside in all weather conditions. No rust although I think it is cast aluminum.

No it isn't rust proof, The outside is okay but water can get in the frame piping and you get rust.

Mine is aluminum There may be some type of fiberboard in between but the exterior surfaces would tolerate dampness. Not sure how it would hold up in a downpour though.

I have only had them for a short time, but certainly, over time, they will rust. Keep in mind that stainless is rust resistant, not rust proof. If the chromium layer on the stainless is removed, chipped or damaged, it will rust. In addition, it is often staining that is seen, not rust. Ultimately, nearly any material that is outside in the elements will become damaged, stained, etc. If the beach is on salt water, your issue will be even more difficult. Plastic would be the best in your situation.
