I would be purchasing this to use at a shore property/high humidity. Will the metal rust in this weather?

Good question. I don't know because I don't know what kind of metal is used. The only metal that would resist rust would be stainless steel.

I live in California. I wouldn't leave it outside the base is plastic so it may not rust. I use this for camping. I hope this helps.

I imagine that it would rust if left outdoors. I use mine in my utility room and have had no problems.

I bought this for in the house in the wintertime. It is -27 degrees here so our house is very dry. If you are fortunate enoughto be in a warmer climate and have excess humidity, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier. I cannot see this having any rust problems for years. I also do not collapse mine and have it always standing in my laundry room. I love mine. Hope this of some help to you.

Ive had mine for a year now but don't live in a salty area. However I never cover it and have yet to have a problem. If you keep it covered when not in use you shoul be okay. Not all the parts are stainless steel so over time I'm sure they will rust. A helpful hint. Ash of any kind when mixed with water or any moister will cause rust. Cean the inside on a regular bases and lay a little stainless polish on it from time to time and you should be okay.

i've been using mine for over a year in a very humid environment and have not had any rust issues.

Yes. Ours is outside underneath a covered gazebo. We live on the gulf coast with lots of humidity so it is rusting some.

It's plastic, so it won't rust. It would be fine for outdoors if not extreme weather. It holds a lot of water so it would need to be kept where the temperature of the water can remain consistent. I hope that helps.

It is solid plastic, so it's not going to rust. It isn't a flimsy plastic either, you should be fine using it outside.

I live in coastal area also. I've had the item on the exterior of my house for almost a year now. No rust yet.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

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

I would not leave it exposed to weather. It will eventually show corrosion.

It should not rust, however, be careful that you wipe off the padded seat so it doesn't soak up too much water.

No problem with rust BUT we live in the desert. Also no problem with the cushions. We will probably need to keep this furniture covered or the weather will ruin it.

I've had mine in a covered porch; but it closes tightly & I doubt if it will rust outside. Good product.
