Was a gift for my mom, but she likes it and says bottom is stainless steel, she's had no issues with dampness - and she lives in Florida. Hope that helps.

The bottom is made of the same metal material as the rest of the breadbox. Re moisture issue - not sure how much moisture you're talking about. Just wiping it with a damp cloth would be fine, however unless you dry is carefully, streaks will remain. My breadbox has some faint lines remaining where packing tape had been from the way it was packed for shipping. It's gradually becoming less noticeable and eventually may disappear altogether. Fingerprints have not been a major issue but I do wipe it down every other day in order to retain it's original appearance.

The bottom is the same stainless as the rest of the box. I can't speak to damage from moisture. I haven't had any problem with mine. I'm still very happy with the purchase.

The inside and outside bottom is stainless steel. The moving top is plastic, but I love it. It looks nice, is roomy and keeps my bread fresh. Maybe the top is not plastic maybe brushed stainless.

It's all steel with some rubber which gets it a little off the counter. Moisture could cause rusting I guess. But I can't say how much water/moisture would be required to do so.

The bottom of the bread box is made of stainless steel, same as rest of box. There is a rubberized band that goes around the entire box at each that slightly raises the box off the counter -- enough to slide several pieces of paper under the box at one time. This likely prevents moisture from affecting the stainless steel. I've had the bread box for several months now without any problems -- I like it -- lightweight, large and durable. Works for me.

The handles are fairly smooth so moisture could be a problem if you are hard using it. If you are using it for basic/light tasks, you should be fine.

Slightly damp, static free cloth. Anything added to the little water will warp the viewing area. Also, nothing too warm, it will warp or melt the plastic.

Any moisture that is left on the table will cause some delamination. I am always careful to not leave them outside overnight or in the rain and wipe up any spills right away.

If it's unprotected I don't expect it would hold up to water damage from being exposed to the elements. I use this as an island top in my kitchen and I clean it with baking soda, sand it lightly and oil it with mineral oil about once a month to keep my cutting surface looking great and free from odors. Not sure if this is helpful or not...we love it as an island top though and we get a lot of compliments on it...and it was a fraction of the price!

hard to answer... mine had a hole in it so it filled with water and was unable to clear all of the moisture.

I think the shelves and solid panel sections are actually constructed of Masonite (or equivalent)--the difference from MDF being no glue or resins holding it together. I don't think it would last outdoors even with a good varnish. There are too many places where moisture could get into the board.

While the materials that comprise this box (powder-coated steel case, nylon coated steel cable, removable foam liner) may be able to withstand immersion or saturation in water for short periods without damage, any contents sensitive to moisture would be compromised. Water would simply run in through the sides of the box as well as the hole where the anchor cable attaches. I suspect the hinge and lock would likewise not last long in a damp/wet environment unless they were periodically treated and lubricated.You might want to look at Pelican cases - they are waterproof and have lock attachment points. I'm sure a cable could be added to secure it to a fixture.

once dry-and you MUST let it dry completely-the surface will be solid and hard-the best protection and covering. Highly recommended!

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

No, the moisture will cause it to crack at some point. A baking steel would be better for that.

It's made of high density particle board. So as long as it's not very humid all the time it should be ok.

I haven't tried it.....not sure what the moisture would do to it. Sorry couldn't help.

magnets do mot stick to the botom. I have has several scanpans for more than 3 years. Grankly I abuse them!, and they still perform quite nicely. Some scratches are noticable because I tend to use a metal spatuals, but these do not seem to alter the non stick surface. Remember thought to warm your pan slowly. Put it on low- medium heat, go have a cup of coffee then come back & cook. I think you'll be happy

The outer shell of the antenna is plastic. The only part that moisture would hurt is the junction of the antenna and the coaxial cable. If you can keep that dry, you should be okay.

There will not be a problem with h the humidity there is a protective film on it. However I would not suggest rubbing hard on it when it might have moisture on it these pictures are printed and then have the glow applied

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.
