Has anyone used it for storing items outdoors? If so, does it work well in that capacity?

I use it in my bathroom and love it! I'm sure it would be fine outside as long as you use teak oil...but it's so nice once you get it you won't want to put it outside!

I love ours, but I don't think it would hold up well outdoors. Wood might age too quickly; hinges would probably rust. Would also be tough to clean.

yes, so far it has held up nicely. It is a nice solution to a tight space with the storage option. I like it very much.

Yes I do not see an issue with keeping this Cart stored outside. I would recommend that you try and put some sort of cover over it to protect it from the elements as there are some nuts and bolts that could rust over time. Hope this helps!

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

I can't say for sure how much weight it can hold BUT i can tell you that we have loaded up our shelves with everything from tool kits, masonary & gardening supplies (inc. large pots), filled plastic storage boxes. I'd buy more but we do not have the room. I like the idea that the shelves are not solid so air can circulate. Theses would work outside also I'm sure also.

Definitely will work. I used it for my closet 12' long to store similar plastic bins. Also used it for my laundry room and tool room to store various items as well as a tool hanger. Very versatile. Very strong and can manage relatively large loads. They were all mounted on concrete walls. Hope the above assessment helps in your decision. Cheers!!!

I cannot see why this would not work. If you are asking if you can leave it outside in an uncovered area, I would say this is not such a good idea. This will rust if exposed to rain and moisture. (I have had that experience with a stainless shelving unit similar in construction to this item.)

No, I wouldn't recommend it. It's more of a temporary stand, and I'm not sure it would be good for storage. It is great for repairs, however. Hope his helps.

I used mine outside just laid a thick tarp down under it and it worked perfectly! :)

It doesn't seem to be made for outdoor use. The wooden piece looks like it has vaneer and might not hold up to weather fluctuations and water/humidity. If you put a matte clear coat over all metal parts it might hold up fairly decent. The one part I would question holding up would be the wooden shelf. I'm enjoying the product. It is a good piece for the price.

I store off season clothes in them. I bought 3 of them and spread the heaviest items out (like coats) between them. Not as sturdy as wood, but they work well for us.

Yes, I imagine they'd be good for holding plants and other things outdoors. They are coated which should offer some protection against the elements but I would still keep an eye on them if you live somewhere where there is extreme heat or sun. I'd be more worried about the plastic giving out and wearing away then the metal shelves themselves.

Quite well. In fact I've had mine outside for the last couple years now - through "polar vortex" and mid summer heat and it's held up extremely well. Quite sturdy.

It is sturdy enough to hold plants, but I think it would deteriorate outside unless it is in a covered space.

My granddaughter has used hers outdoors but we store it in the garage if being used outside. She also uses it in the house. We are very pleased with this equipment for the price.

Much of this unit is plastic. I would not recommend outdoor storage. A shed or storage closet would be fine.

None. I use it for that purpose 95% of the time. I store my sons BMX race bike on it.
