Does it have slats or are there grooves which hold excess water?

It has slats that water goes through, not grooves that hold the excess water.

Slats if you look down from the top you would see the ground beneath through the slat openings.

Yes it has slats on the bottom that allows the soap to dry after using it. It's a great soap dish, I love it!

At least on my rail, it sits there quite securely. It has optional water drain holes on both sides, slides up and down the deck but is completely weatherproof. I have two and plan to buy more, they're wonderful.

Yes. Make a backing plate to bridge 2 slats. This will distribute the weight and help support the bowl as it will bend when water is put in it if not supported.

It has a drain built in. The last few inches at the feet you'll have to bail out though because the drain doesn't quite go all the way to the bottom.

There are no ventilation holes or slats. The lid is held down solely by gravity, though, so it is not as if there's an airlock. The finish is more matte than chrome-like. It is a close match to my brushed nickel faucet, though not perfect.

We love it and have it under a overhang on our deck. It does have slats on the top and sides that have small openings (1/4"ish) and louvre front so I would imagine if it were set in direct weather things would get wet inside eventually. We plan to put a piece of plastic on the top to help keep things even more dry. Hope that helps!

It has 2 grommet holes on each side about 1/4 of the way in from each corner. It could stand for one more grommet in the center of each side because water does still accumulate in that area. We have a kit and are going to add another grommet drain for this reason. Though this is considered to be heavy duty, it is still not as heavy as the original purchased with the frame but it much better than the other replacement I purchased a few years ago.

There are slats in the bottom for drainage. We have used them for over a year planted with small palm trees, flowers and herbs. Perfect for our patio garden.

Yes it holds water just fine. It does not come drilled with a drain hole, but there recesses at each end designed for you to drill your own hole. Use a hole saw or a step drill to get a clean hole.

Yes, the slats are intended for the liquid to drain into the bottom reservoir when it sits in the upright position. If liquid is coming out when you rotate the composter to mix things up - your "wet" ingredient ratio may be too high.

There is a groove but not too close to the walls. It's never been a problem for me.

No drain holes as such but the construct allows water to not bead up and it rolls off. I've not had any pooling.

I'm not sure what you mean the "wide slats", but the whole thing has been wonderful for me. Solid metal, highly adjustable, includes wall mounts.. Fit what we need wonderfully..

Yes, it has nice holes, 2 on every side. It hasn't rained since putting it up so hope it works well.

Yes, It does come with slats and is very sturdy! I think it was a good purchase for me.

No it does not. It has small holes to let the air flow through to keep the water fresh.
