The description says this set is plastic with stainless steel bowls but some reviewers mention wood pieces. Would this be suitable for outdoor use?

The silver pieces under the black plastic main body are made of the cheap particle board wood. Therefore I would not use it outside unless you slip those pieces of wood out (which works fine).

The wood pieces are around the sides underneath to give it strength. I think if you give the wood a few coats of paint or varnish to protect it, it should stand up to being outside.

I have the smaller version of what you are looking at. It does have stainless steel bowls that are really helpful, but the light gray pieces are wood. I have mine indoors but it should be fine outside, the plastic is pretty sturdy. I hope that helps.

The material of this bowl is a heavy plastic. The handle and bottom are covered in rubber. It is a 2 qt/2l bowl and is sturdy but not heavy. This household likes this bowl!

I use mine on wood and on concrete when they eat outside. They slip once in a while if they are licking really hard at something stuck to the sides. My largest dog is 50#. I bought mine because my other stainless steel bowls would travel the whole room while they ate. Don't have that issue anymore. I am really pleased with these bowls and especially the price.

I'm sure it's not the top of the line stainless, but I've had mine sitting outside for 4 months of winter and no rust on the bottom so far. I do have it covered with a good quality cover. I also drilled a few small holes in the bowl bottom for drainage. For such a low price, and if you keep it covered you, should get your money's worth out of it.

Absolutely! Wood works well, and so does plastic, but don't use sharp metal (it might scratch the non-stick coating).

Any of the above are fine regarding the compounds of the clay I believe, but since it's a little corse, I would go with glass or ceramic so that you don't scratch and gouge a smooth wooden bowl. Definitely DO NOT use plastic - that screws up the clay.

I'm confused about your question. These are bowls for babies and toddlers and are made of durable plastic. I would caution you not to book them as they have a rubber suction cup on the bottom.

The other answers are pretty accurate. I don't believe this would serve you well outdoors unless it was well-sheltered from any moisture. The metal is not easily discernible, but is likely heavy tin with a bronze-like top finish. It's sturdy but not built for wear and tear. We also use it as an interior wall sconce and have no complaints whatsoever.

The parts are not edible. They are made of plastic so that the set can be used multiple times.

It is stainless. I have them inside, should be ok for outside, (covered) area..

Yes. The set is made of heavy weight melamine (plastic) and includes 4 of each color plates and bowls.

I have not used my bowls for that purpose. I don't remember the description of the item. I think they are serving bowls.

My guess is it would be...there's no metal, all plastic. I only use it as a portable water bowl for my dog.

Each has a stainless steel base. The bowl is probably aluminum.This is their "professional" set.

The bowl appears to be stainless steel. There is also a plastic cover that comes with the unit that completely covers it completely.

The bowl is plastic. It is very durable and lightweight. It is weighted so it is not tippy and doesn't spill contents. I have had this bowl for about 1-1/2 years and have microwaved, cooked with hot liquids and run it on the top and bottom rack of the dishwasher.

The bowl is a pretty stainless steel. The lens on the face of it is plastic. The rest is a metal. I love it! It also adds some class to my kitchen!
