What happens if this sits outside and gets wet a lot?

Not a good idea to put it outside in moist, damp or any kind of wet weather. It is made of plywood and carpet. It will stay wet, probably grow mold, smell and then fall apart. It is a great product when kept indoors. I have had it for almost 3 years, it gets a lot of use and is in perfect condition. Just keep it clean and dry, it will last for many years. Do not use it as an outdoor piece.

Well, the covering is a plush type carpet so I would say no. Unless you plan to re-cover it with a type of turf or rug type carpet, I would not expect it to do well outside

the only thing you would have to consider is when it gets really wet, it gets very soggy and expands and gets very soft

If it is not exposed directly to the elements, it should be fine, but if can be rained on or have the sun beat down on it, it probably won't last long.

There will be a lot of water...so I wouldn't call it dry. Keep a towel handy, you will need one.

rain and instances like that. if it were to be submerged in water, moderate protection. everything is basically covered. just get it out quick!

It will not survive in the rain. everything will get wet and it will smell bad

No I don't think so. It can get wet but don't believe the contents are protected.

It is not meant to get wet. However, there is someone who shared pictures on Facebook after they accidentally ran it through a project through the dishwasher and it held up. If you are going to put it outside I would suggest sealing it with something waterproof.. or weather resistant.

No I would not keep this outside, I would use some type of Rubber Maid or pool or deck bench as those are made for damp, wet weather

Water resistant Sue. It will not survive submerged. It is designed to defeat rain and it performs that very well. Put it out in the bad weather and it will be just fine.

If held, it would need to be held completely still or the water will splash around. The water gets really hot. Best bet to leave on a flat surface and lean in.

A couple of factors play here. If you put it on dry pavement it might be ok,as it does not leak but keep in mind rain can run under it. We put it on grass and when closed up it creates rain inside it from the wet ground. I might be apprehensive about electronics . Hope this helps

Heavy rain will collect and bow the top so you'll have to be careful to knock the water off the top. A little rain will sheet off the top

I think it would be best not to leave it outside. Rain and wind would probably damage it. It seems very delicate.

Yes it will get wet and slippery. Better for outdoors if used that many hours

I would not use this outside unless it in an area that is protected from the weather. I doubt this would be water-tight and might fill with water if rained on.

it will definately cause water damage as it is a porous material. weight is another question and would depend on the structure of the deck.
