I live on Lake michigan, and intend to have this bar table on my balcony; will it stay upright in the Chicago wind?

It weighs 41 lbs, but being from Chicago and on the scrapers anything not bolted down may go flying!

I am not familiar with the strength of Chicago wind. In NW Florida, we leave it out year round but we do bring it in when a hurricane is threatening. It stays put for any other wind storm. It is on our back patio under an overhang. I hope that helps.

This table is not as sturdy as I would have liked; however, I did not purchase it for outdoor purposes (it serves as overflow seating in my classroom). If you have no wind break, then I believe a wind gust may send this table flying.

Not sure, I used an older umbrella weight on the bottom to hold it in place. If it will be on a deck, can always screw it down.

Actually, my table is on a covered patio, so I don't know how well it would hold up in the open. Sorry.

Sorry Tristen but we only bought ours this spring. Ours sits under a tree on a deck so it is exposed to rain etc. and so far so good. I wanted to be able to sit 8 in a pinch and it will do so. It isn't nearly as heavy as the octagonal picnic table it replaced and I feel the need to turn it upside down whenever a wind storm is predicted.

Gave it to my grandson who lives in Chicago..he LOVES it . so far it is staying steady in their backyard. I wouldn't put it in an open field. But so far it has not blown over. very sturdy.

I don't think the electronics would be bothered by the weather because they are enclosed. The table is sturdy and can take a good strong wind. I don't know how the finish on the chrome base would hold up in sun or rain.

We always set ours up on the patio and use bungee cords (2) to secure it from the top of the screen to the deck top. We only leave it up for the duration of the party due to possible issues with wind. Any reasonable wind could tweak it and cause damage. The framing is very solid, however one never knows when that freak wind may blast through.

Ours has been outside since November and is doing well. It is sitting on a shelf of an outdoor bar table and has some cover, but still gets wet if windy and it gets windy a lot...plus a lot of humidity here on the coast. An overhang would provide similar protection.

Our chairs are on an open patio. It has been very windy on several occasions and the chairs have never blown over. We had 40 mph wind gusts last week and still no movement.

It is a heavy stand and should work OK for unspecified values of "normal" breezes. I would not presume to speculate about high-wind conditions.

We haven't had any issues with it, and we haven't put sand or anything in it, but it does sit under our table on a patio that doesn't get too windy! It's very cute. The edges are a little sharp. We like ours, especially for the price!

Absolutely not. Wind, rain, pretty much any element is an issue. I'm on my third one and my review is changing as I realize how few things it stands up to. It's perfect for what you are describing but if the wind is heavy you are in trouble. I have anchored it down but then came the rain and it caved in.

I'd say you will have no problem. I'm in Chicago, and last winter was absolutely terrible. I have 2 of these and they survived just fine. Mine are in a corner protected from wind however

It is a stable umbrella and can be cranked down easily and quickly. We have 2 on picknick tables on lake side. Our tables are heavy and the umbrellas are built well.

We had this table outside on our deck all winter long, uncovered and buried under 2.5 feet of snow in Chicago. It is beautiful and still looks brand new despite our harsh winter exposure to it. I don't know whether the salty ocean breezes would harm it or not.

I live in Oregon and it does get wind here. If the wind shold ever tear down the sail, it would not damage the deck.

Mine is on a covered deck where the wind is limited. I have not had a problem but the furniture is pretty light weight. You could add some Velcro to the cushions to try to help keep them in place. If it is a high rise and the wind picks up enough this would not be good up there. The furniture is sturdy but does not weigh a lot.

No. I do not believe it would be stable at all; it is a major structural element. It is about 5" above the floor with the front edge about 7" back from the front of the table in case you needed specifics about the placement.
