What are the legs of the table and chairs made of? Would they rust if at the beach like lots of metal does.

I would suspect that they might rust or that the mechanism to fold the legs might become difficult to operate. I like the table except that the cover on the table is very flimsy.

They are metal. But painted metal. My husband says the paint would protect them as long as it holds up. I purchased it for use in my church's toddler room, so I don't know about outdoor use. I think it would hold up for some time. But, yes, metal.

The chairs are rust proof !! I left my chairs out all winter and today I took the covers off . ( NO RUST)

I would say no because surface of the table is not metal. The surface is somewhat water resistance, and I don't think it is water and weather proof.

This table is stainless steel, so it should hold up great as long as it doesn't stay wet for long periods of time.

The table is made of aluminum and stainless steel, so being outside would not likely result in rusting. If it is under an awning or has shelter, definitely no issues. If in direct contact with rain, I think the question is whether the wheel locks and baskets would rust/corrode. I am not sure. For the price and quality, I do think that is is worth the risk. There are also spray on items such as lacquer that you may be able to apply to the steel components to keep them from rusting. They sell it in the spray paint aisle at most DIY stores.

The table has sat out all summer, lots of rain, no rust.....EXCEPT...the screen that you put over the fire to prevent sparks flying has rusted after we used it for a fire. The fire burned the paint off. Was thinking about spraying it with the spray paint for high heat. The table itself is very nice.

It does rust but takes a while. I have mine at least 2 to 3 years. I power wash them each year.There nice chairs but probably would be better under a canopy or something covered.

I don't know what metal they are made of but, I bought them over a year ago, we have them in a garage where the humidity level is very high and we could no longer use traditional particle board peg boards. So far no rust and we like the item.

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 assume, like any metal object, if it gets wet or put in any moist area, it will rust. My suggestion to you is: if you need something for outside, stick with plastic.

It is made of some sort of metal. Very sturdy. It could be used outside. We are in the middle of moving so I can't look at it. I don't recall that it has anchors to cement it in though. Also not sure if it would rust. We love it though and has definitely been a great buy for us.

No problem with rust BUT we live in the desert. Also no problem with the cushions. We will probably need to keep this furniture covered or the weather will ruin it.

Metal. And we love the table! I'm a little larger person and the seats sliding out is very helpful.

Hi Liz I don't know BUT I've lived on the Carribean coast for the past 38 years and I have learned through painful experience that if anything metal is not first class it wil rust in a few weeks and I've had this for about a year now and it's in perfect condition. :0)

The table and chairs are plastic and I know it's lead free. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

They absolutely could be outdoor tables.....very heavy, waterproof slate tops, and sturdy iron legs. Hope this helps.
