The description says this set is plastic with stainless steel bowls but some reviewers mention wood pieces. Would this be suitable for outdoor use?

The silver pieces under the black plastic main body are made of the cheap particle board wood. Therefore I would not use it outside unless you slip those pieces of wood out (which works fine).

The wood pieces are around the sides underneath to give it strength. I think if you give the wood a few coats of paint or varnish to protect it, it should stand up to being outside.

I have the smaller version of what you are looking at. It does have stainless steel bowls that are really helpful, but the light gray pieces are wood. I have mine indoors but it should be fine outside, the plastic is pretty sturdy. I hope that helps.

While we do not use it outdoors it seems like it would do fine there. The top is stainless. The base is chrome so you may get some rusting over time. I'd say seasonally fine, it's also not very expensive.

Yes. The set is made of heavy weight melamine (plastic) and includes 4 of each color plates and bowls.

The Bowl set is ridgid but appear to be pretty strong. I dropped one on the tile floor and it didin't crack. Not the samematerial I believe as melamine.

If it's good enough for pets, it should be good enough for kids. The bowl is made of high quality stainess steel that doesn't get discolored from foods. I've had same two bowls for the last 4 years and they still look like new, even after daily dishwashing.

The bowl is sheet metal, painted black, and ferrous. Most likely steel, but hasn't rusted so far, and the paint appears capable of withstanding the heat.

It appears it is some kind of coated steel. I am using solely indoors. I think it would do OK outside but did not purchase with that intention. If you plan on putting outside, I would go with stainless steel to be safe.

It's made out of heavy-duty plastic, so I think it would work fine. (PS: The colors on the inside bottom of the bowl have all but faded.)

The bowl is plastic. It is very durable and lightweight. It is weighted so it is not tippy and doesn't spill contents. I have had this bowl for about 1-1/2 years and have microwaved, cooked with hot liquids and run it on the top and bottom rack of the dishwasher.

The outside isn't stainless steel - it's plastic colored to look like stainless. I can't tell what is on the inside.

I don't know if it will stand up well in grass, as it is plastic. The ball probably can't roll either, but, for being plastic, it is a nice set!

It would be fine being outside as long as it's under a patio or something that will save it from getting wet.. The the picture comes on a wood canvas so a lot of moisture I believe will ruin the wood. I have this piece in my dining room it's absolutely beautiful..

My guess is it would be...there's no metal, all plastic. I only use it as a portable water bowl for my dog.

Stainless steel bowls contain no BPA; only plastic does. The lids are plastic and would have it. The bowls are metal and cannot be used in microwaves, but stainless steel is dishwasher safe.

I purchased this item as a gift, so I'm not using it personally. However, since it's all stainless steel (no wood handles) I would think it would be fine in a dishwaher.

I think it would hold up OK outside since it is stainless steel. However it will probably discolor quickly. It is a thin, low quality stainless so it is going to dent easy. A good hail storm will dent the table. If you want to use it outside, I would cover it when not in use.
