Is it a tough exterior? My daughter is a farmer.

I have to beg to differ. I have a 5 acre property with two horses, I ride at another barn where I keep my own horse, and then I work at a barn with 18 horses. You get the picture, lots of barns, lots of wear and tear. This coat has held up incredibly well, washes extremely well, and is still just fine after a few years of near daily fall and winter use. I am looking possibly get another "non-barn" jacket here.

I wouldn't recommend it for her, because it snags pretty easily. As my husband said, "It's no Carhartt".

I don't believe it is particularly 'tough' if you are asking if it would hold up to repeated abrasive wear. It has the same texture as a windbreaker. That, combined with the reflective interior material, makes it very effective though.

I'd say it's somewhere in between to be honest. Definitely not super soft but not brittle either. I live in AZ so I'm not sure how it would do in the cold.

I live in Coastal Georgia and it rains here a lot. My daughter rides it daily and has never had a problem. That being said she does not ride through large puddles. It's a great product!

Nope, my daughter's still in great conditions after almost 1 year of continuous use...make sure it's assembled properly. GOOD LUCK!!

We haven't had any snow yet so that I can't fully answer, but it has held up really well against the couple of storms we have had lately. There have been at least three high wind/hard rain storms and it has held up great on the side of our house.

I believe so. My grandson has not complained about it. We've had some heavy rains the last few weeks.

Yes, it is sturdy and well made. It should not be exposed to pouring rain or lots of direct sun for the finish will be ruined, but Zi had mine in a screened in porch under heavy shade trees.

Eleanor, I got this for my mother. She has it up against the side of her house with heavy pots in it. She hasn't had any problems but it is in a somewhat sheltered area. We were both surprised with the quality of the greenhouse when we got it. We were not expecting much with the cost and packaging. My mom has been very pleased and it is serving its purpose for her.Hope this helps.

My son (4) is pretty rough with it and takes it outside to vanquish bad guys (weeds and rocks) it has a few dings but you have to look close. it is very tough and I would recommend for even the roughest of little kids. Even his sisters (12 and 13) have taken a few rounds with it.

It's not to soft and not to hard...my daughter is picky and she haven't complained about it yet

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

I live on L.I., N.Y., we had a horrid winter this year and although the sandbox is 2 years old it is holding strong. No water got in the sand but have to say during our biggest storm with high winds I did put a big flower pot filled with soil on lid. Everything stayed dry, animal free and lid did not crack. 2-3 children play together in it every weekend and love it.

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

It's very strong/hardy. Frame is hard plastic and grass is rugged turf. Good luck

I have not had any problems even in high winds. I just raked out the dirt a little deeper, pushed it in the ground and covered it with the remaining dirt. The bottom has two prongs formed like an H and it is very secure. I planted flowers around the base and it is just beautiful!

It is not rock hard. I have 2 of them as fall protection and they do give a little.

Think so. Rows need to be wide enough to navigate. It is a bit high. Need mobility, able to bend over and good knee action. If soil too soft, may have trouble scooting or moving forward. It is very sturdy. I am 82, so keep her moving. Happy gardening. �
