Do these chairs hold water after rain or do they drain on their own?

They do hold a little water after a rain, but on a hot day it evaporates pretty quickly.

I don't recommend. We ordered two and the paint peeled away in a long sheet on the back of one within a few months. I sent pix to the company and received no response. Order at your own risk.

They drain out the back seam, so they stay dry after the rain stops. They also have small rubber feet to keep them off the concrete and away from wet surfaces.

They are heavy plastic material water shouldn't effect the chair, but they are heavy

depends if you have wind or a humid day. Otherwise yes they dry pretty good on their own. excellent chair by the way.

Yes, we've used these for several years. Keeps the water from pooling. The floor stays dry. Love them.worth it

I think rain would ruin them. I bought bar chair covers and leave the stools covered except when using them.

yes they shed rain. the rain will come through the shade ever so slight. which is a good thing.

Rarely do they ever retain water. Sometimes after an extremely hard rain some cushions may retain some water, you'll know which ones as they would be very heavy. Simply tilt them or set them up against the furniture and it will drain out. I bought a large stiff horse hair looking brush and I brush off the leaves and debris regularly. They are holding up very well (green cushions) and have faded a bit but I do have them in the brutal FL sun daily with no covered area or shade for them. I love this set. They really make it look like a high end home or hotel.

Our furniture is on a covered porch. We use the cover if it's going to rain, but if we forget, the cushions will get wet. In a light rain, the water beads and can be dried off easily. If they get a little more wet, we just stand them on their side and they dry very quickly. We've had the set for more than a year and love it. The cushions will fade in the sun, but I'm not aware of any that won't have some amount of fading in sunlight.

The bottoms are solid so there would be no way for water to drain out, not sure if they would rust either....

We have these chairs on our lanai in Florida. I do bring them in when the weather is severe. They have held up well through intense heat. No discoloration.

I've had mine since last fall and they have been outside through rain and snow and I've had no problems with them getting wet.

No extra care needed....they do not 'fill up' they expand and absorb some of the water...that makes a barrier to keep water out. These are not something that will keep out 'feet' of flood water...unless stacked deeper that expected water.

I would call them water resistant. The rain doesn't seep through the fabric, but does pool on the flooring. And, then your "stuff" will get wet on the bottom. But, if you're looking to withstand a quick rain shower they are good for a get away.

Yes absolutely mine got rained on many times. You just have to tilt the cushions on their side to drain out the water because if you don't the underside stays wet.

The top comes down pretty secure. I haven't noticed any water inside. However a little water could come in around the top during a hard rain.

Before we filled this with plants, we put it outside with the plugs left in. It rained, and it did hold water. I didn't check to see if it leaked, though. If I planned on using it indoors, I'd probably put a tray under it to catch drips. Indoor plants need proper drainage, too.

I use them outdoors, but they are not directly exposed to rain. For example, I have one installed under the eves of the roof. Another one in a covered entryway. I don't think they are water proof or water resistant.
