Would this hold plants outside or would it likely deteriorate?

I am using it on an outside porch. I have a lot of salt spray so it may eventually rust, but I think a little rustoleum spray will go along way if this happens. Has worked great so far! A little car polish can help add some protection as well.

I think it would be ok if it was under an awning or covered in some way but would prob ly deteriorate if exposed directly to the elements.

It would be good for plants!!! Its not as big as it seems in picture! But its still cute!

I bought this as a gift and when I forwarded them your question, here's the response I received: I doubt it's meant for outside use. I think it wouldn't last too long. Hope this helps!

Unsure. It would probably last for a few seasons but eventually it would deteriorate if left unprotected. i have mine in the house with several plants on it and am very happy with it under these circumstances.

We've had it outside since we bought it and its held up well. Although I can't say that means much. Its been on our apartment balcony where its shielded from direct sunlight and rain.

personally, i would not use outdoors - i believe it is constructed for indoors only - probably would warp and metal rust. however, you can contact seller for more accurate informations.

It is sturdy enough to hold plants, but I think it would deteriorate outside unless it is in a covered space.

I'm only using it for display, lined up on a high shelf in my bookcase. So, durability hasn't been an issue. However, the pots are clay, so I wouldn't expect them to hold up outside in a breeze, if they were to hit something.

Yes, it will probably be fine. It may take a bit longer for things to decompose. Mine gets barely any sun at all.

No it's a soft plastic wouldn't be heavy enough to support plants. My chickens broke thru on day one.

The shelf is pretty and if the holes were right it would hold a plant. If you are handy and can fix it(I am not) you could fix it. Istill use it but i have to balance the things I put on a shelf.

It's a wonderful, good-looking plant holder... that's why I bought a second one earlier this year! Each of the three holders is about a foot across. While it looks pretty sturdy, my advice would be to place a fairly heavy plant on the bottom holder for safety's sake as the bottom support legs do not spread out all that wide. That allows you to place a large plant at the top, which is what I have done on both of mine. A number of friends have commented favorably on our planters and have asked for the name of the manufacturer. Hope this is useful.

I think it would highly depend on your climate. Due to the fact that the majority of this storage bench is made of MDF (Medium density fiberboard) It would eventually swell and decompose in climates with a lot of humidity. Personally I do not recommend this as an outdoor item unless you live in a VERY dry area and keep it out of the elements where it cannot get wet, ie a covered porch area & even then it would certainly shorten the lifespan of said storage bench.

Yes, I only used it for potted plants and it did a great job protecting them. If it is windy outside, you do need to make sure you secure it properly.

Ours has been primarily outdoors as well and it seems to be holding up just fine. More than likely, though, you will end up needing to replace the rubber top more frequently if it gets a lot on direct sunlight.

I bought mine specifically for outdoor use. My two shelves have served as mobile plant stands on my decks for several years, with no apparent damage of any kind noted thus far. We average ~50 inches of rain each year, 10 or so days over 100 degrees and another 20 or so where it's below freezing. Plus my shelves get dripped on all the time by the runoff when I water the potted plants they're holding. I use them as mobile greenhouses during the winter, stringing old Christmas lights on the racks (attached to a thermostat that turns them on at 34 degrees), covered with clear plastic to help hold the heat in (but allow the sunlight through).

I'm sure it would hold a flower pot or two w/o any problem (they wouldn't be too big in order to fit on it, if you're putting 2 on it).

mine is inside. i don't see why it couldn't be used outside if you put plants on it. it is not very heavy. here in Oklahoma it would blow over without plants on it.

I think it would hold up OK outside since it is stainless steel. However it will probably discolor quickly. It is a thin, low quality stainless so it is going to dent easy. A good hail storm will dent the table. If you want to use it outside, I would cover it when not in use.

Yes! Although it doesn't drop very far. It is centrally located and sturdy enough to hold potted plants or lights.

Ours is holding up very well. We are using it for garden storage ... Pots, rakes, buckets.

I have a plant that weighs 65 pds on mine and it holds up well. It is a very sturdy plant caddy.

The pot is made of light plastic and would not hold up to even light wind. I put heavy weights in mine to keep the artifical plant from toppling over by my window. Before I put the weights in, the entire plant would fall over when some wind blew threw my window. For outdoors you need something heavy and substantial, this is not for outdoors.
