Can this table/bench be left out in the rain?

the MPG-ACT04 can be left in the rain as this is made of kiln dried Fir Wood with oil-based stain to enhance its durability.

It came stained but unfinished. I coated it with an outdoor poly and leave it outside all summer long.

Yes, but they recommend that you treat it with a water proofing treatment, so I bought Thompson's spray. Will treat it once a year and probably cover it in the winter.

Definitely! My table/bench got lots of rain this past winter and still looks almost brand-new. I do have an umbrella attached to it as I keep it as a table most of the time so I guess that has helped it get through the storms. It is a good product overall and I recommend it.

We left it outside all summer long. We brought it in for the winter. We live in New England. It is still in good shape. It will probably need to be stained at the end of this summer. LOVE this table.

Not really, if you assemble it carefully, but some moisture will get inside if this item isn't under cover and the rain blows really hard. I store outdoor toys in this bench so I put them inside large black plastic bags & tie them. The toys, such as badminton sets and horseshoe sets never get wet but sometimes I find water on the bags. I live in south Louisiana and we get long, hard rain storms. When we have a sunny day, I open the bench and let the water on the bags dry up.

When I 1st got this set I took the cushions off if I knew it was going to rain but then I got lazy and this whole summer I just left the cushions on at all times. My cushions are in the same condition as when I purchased them so yes they can be left out in the rain. Of course you will have some wet cushions until they dry out :-)

this could be left out and used as a patio table. If weather got rough, I would take it in to keep from getting blown around. Folds and stores easily. Very serviceable.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

I use it both outside attached to my deck and inside attached to a heavy table leg(with strap). I wouldn't leave it outside unless the weather is mostly warm and dry and it's out of the sun, or it will deteriorate more quickly.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

I don't have an answer for that, but I love this table and benches. So easy totake care of. I bought a free standing umbrella for mine.

No you have to remove the umbrella....we placed a large plastic wastebasket on top of the table to keep the water from pooling. Works great keeping table and chairs clean.

Yes, it can be left outdoors in the rain, but we like to bring it indoors if we're expecting very heavy rain, just to be safe. I wouldn't leave it out in the winter if your area gets cold and snowy.

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.

Absolutely, we keep ours on our deck in the sun and rain all summer long. In the winter (I live near Chicago) we bring it in the garage for storage. You will not regret buying this table. If folds completely flat and is very light if you need to move it around.

Yes, that is what its purpose is, outside access. That being said, I would try to put it out of the rain if I could, as well as the sun. Not that it won't handle it, but the plastic would last much longer if it were shaded and protected.

I personally don't leave it outside, I fold it up and bring it inside. It's light enough that this is not an inconvenience to do and since it's the perfect size for our small table and it took me awhile to find this umbrella, I don't want to risk having it get ruined.

I honestly don't know how it would affect the integrity of the table, however, it isn't a huge table so would be nice under the shade of your umbrella if it was situated near it!!

As far as the plastic is concerned, it would probably hold up just fine in the rain. I'd be more worried about the sun causing discoloration (ie. fading) of the table since the table is not fully white, but a kind of light gray. The metal legs may suffer damage in the rain. They are coated with paint; however, in setting up the table and taking it back down, you are constantly moving the metal legs and locking them in place. In doing so, some of the paint inevitably rubs off and may rust in the rain.

I would suggest a good coat of polyurethane or a coat of exterior paint to protect the bench if you were going to keep it outside, even on a covered balcony. The finish is ok, but I doubt it would withstand moisture on a regular basis.
