Is it hot to sit on since it is steel?

I have it in my garden and it always seems pretty comfortable. Not sure if I have sat on it in the blazing sun but, you could always add a cushion. Very sturdy, good bench.

Where it is in our yard only gets a minimum amount of sun, but when it is in the sun, no, it's not hot to sit on. I couldn't say whether it does get hot after hours of being in the sun.

Only the back is steel. ours is in the shade and even on the hottest Florida days, it is cool.

Yes all parts hot except for the handle and base. I'm loving it and use it several times a day.

Yes it is very hot - even the low setting. You would get burnt if you put you hands or other body part right within the steam path.

Yes. We put it on a wood frame to raise it waist level and enclosed stone around it on our wood deck, so I see no problem doing it your way. The steel portion never gets hot.

It does get warm. I have added a cushion to the bottom seat and now I can sit out there at anytime of day.

Definitey! It's basically a big piece of metal. It stands up well to heat. Just be careful when handling. Expect it to get super hot.

Yes it gets hot. Sometimes I can Pu with bare hands and other times need a hot pot mitt.

no, it is just a secure and comfortable "table" to put your laptop on. I spend a lot of time on my recliner with the laptop on the lapdesk and i do not feel any heat. however, my laptop is just 4 months old.

No the seat is not heated it retains your body heat so your butt stays warm and it does make a difference on those cold mornings

They are all cool to the touch. The only heat is at the bottom of the unit, so there is no danger of 'burning' yourself or anyone else if it is touched anywhere (unless you stick your fingers in the element on the bottom!). You can actually sit on it while it is in full operation with no ill effects! (not recommended unless you are a lightweight! ;-)

I have not had any problems with it getting hot. It's very comfortable and a great deal for the price

The base does get hot you should give it some time to cool off before u pick it up.

Hi Italian Anna, the chair does NOT get hot. Very comfortable, even in North Texas where we have a lot of 100F days. Cushions can be found, just take the measurements and compare.

Well, it is a plastic seat rather than metal, so it doesn't get incredibly hot. My mom has hers under a pair of trees so it gets partial/sun/shade.

Yes, it is because it won't overheat and it is easier to hold and move around without your arms getting tired. You have to keep it moving though, even on low it gets hot.

I haven't used it very long but it would be fine to sit behind. It doesn't get too hot.
