This item will sit outdoors under a tree. No Sun! Will it last? is it really durable?

I've had mine since may, exposed to at least 6 hours of sun each day. The wood has done well. I do treat it periodically with some teak oil and I know there are many other products that offer a variety of protection. The screws securing the opening mechanism do need to be upgraded to bigger ones (pre-drill and counter sink) and I re-glued the little wood blocks as well.

I wouldn't put this outside unless on a covered porch. It ended up being too small to store my cushions, so I use it as an inside piece. It makes a good storage bench in the MBR closet...

Durability is moderate when it comes to strength. The finish is good and lasts.

I love mine, it is outside under a semi covered porch and has been great through all kinds of weather.... and I live on the East Coast in Maryland.

Very durable. Good for patio. We bought an inexpensive cover for it to keep it looking new.

We've had ours outdoors for over a year. It is durable and leak free. Still handsome. Happy with it

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

It is ok. It will hold up a little bit but not forever. The sun and rain will eventually make it rot as it does with everything. We live in southwest Florida and even our patio umbrellas get dry rot.

The fixture will hold up fine with wind and ice/rain if installed securely. It is a strait forward simple design. The shade is not deep so the bulb would be exposed to a driving rain. I use an indoor outdoor decorative bulb. Fixture is all metal, baring a direct hit from a wind driven projectile I expect this fixture to last indefinitely..

I can't imagine using this outdoors. It's pretty fragile even indoors. Even sun might damage it let alone rain or even dew. I really like it a lot ( I bought two) but I would never put them outside.

I use it for outside. It's plastic, so weather won't affect it all that much, although it could crack from extreme heat or cold. Then again, any plastic will do the same thing. It seems well made, and holds a lot of weight, me.

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.

Ours has been primarily outdoors as well and it seems to be holding up just fine. More than likely, though, you will end up needing to replace the rubber top more frequently if it gets a lot on direct sunlight.

we have had our set for about a year. It is located within our lanai and has been in the shade over 90% of the time and it has not faded. Can't say what would happen if it was subjected to a lot of sun.

I do not think it would last long outside exposed to heat or cold. The wood is very light weight. Perfect indoors.

This shade is extremely durable. Granted I live in California where our winds are not the strongest. We do have Santa Ana winds (not sure if you've heard of them), but our shade has lasted through those with no problem. We take it down in the winter and store it. Our shade is connected to the house (wood overhang), our backhouse porch cover (part of the backhouse, made of wood) and a metal pole attached to our wood fence (the fence is close to 20 years old). It hasn't caused any damage to our structures or fence. I hope this helps.

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.

I had 1 of these for my older Grandson and it held up well but did fade a bit. It is still in excellent condition though and I've left it outside for 3 summers now. Hope this helps!

We've had it for nearly a year with lots of rain and sun and seems it will last a few years. Still looks new. You just need some long stakes and ties to secure and support it.

Absolutely! We have had ours for 7 years, through 4 kids. We used it daily for the first year and less as the years went on. Now a days we use it a couple times a year for a few days at a time. It has held up remarkably. It is made of a thin tent like material and is pretty durable, though the seems tend to go, if pulled on forcefully by kids (and that happens often). I think it should hold up well outside, as long as it isn't left out for days in harsh weather. It is very light, however, so it may blow away if kids aren't in it or staked down.
