does it hold up outdoors

I do not keep mine outside all year round. I only put it on the table for a meal and then take it off. I think if the UV light got on it the lifespan of the cover would be limited. Also, I had to cut the hole in the center for the umbrella. This has worked out OK for the last two years.

I haven't used it outdoors but I'm sure it will hold up. It is heavy enough.

yes. i have not had long, but so far, it wears well and stays firmly in place.

I have been using it outside, simply because it's so cheap. 1.5 years later it still works. When it was under a roof overhang, it never failed, ever! Since then I've moved it to a tree and it has been through rain, snow, and freezing rain. The only thing that stopped working is being able to pan up (down and left/right still work), but that might have happened from being dropped.

It is sturdy.We have had it I guess over a year and it is holding up well,open all day every day.It is not waterproof though.Rain goes through the material,but that is not a problem for us.

It holds up pretty good but if its to windy you can put stakes at the corners of the stand. They come with the umbrella.

It does hold up well to sun, wind, and cold weather conditions. We used it to cover a greenhouse we constructed.

I don't know to be honest but it has held up well against the rain and snow.

I've had it outside since I installed it with no issues. It's been through several heavy rainstorms and still works like a charm.

I have had it outside for over 6 months so far in the sun, ice (mild winter in Houston) and rain just feet from the ship channel... so far, it has held up fine.

Yes. How good it holds up depends on the environment. The hotter it gets, the more it deteriorates.

I've had it outdoors for a year. No visible damage. (But we don't get too much rain either)

It's held up well for me. I bring it inside in the winter and I do put a coat of the eucoliptis oil on it at the start of the season. It shows some wear from the elements but still sturdy and versatile.

We left ours up outside for a month or so outside and it did not rust or get damaged. It seems pretty sturdy as long as you keep it staked into the ground..If you get alot of wind you may want to bring it in also.

Yes. Ours was left outside with cover thru brutal northeast winter and it held up beautifully.

No. It has done well and I am happy with it, but some of it is still visable. Grass is growing well up through it.

I don't think it would hold up well outside. It is very well built/designed but I believe it was intended for inside use. It may do okay on a covered patio that was sheltered from the weather or it might do okay if you lived in a very dry area with little precipitation, but even in direct sun contact, I think the quality would go down quickly. We have it inside and we have loved it. Great toy! Hape products are impressive

Yes. It has been outside for a year and is holding up very well. I would say it is a heavier construction than I expected.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup
