I would not do that. The shelf is very nice but not intended for outside use.

Hi Charles! Thank you for your interest in Whitmor 6026-3562 Natural Wood Household Shelves. I would not place this unit outside as the wood is not varnished.

I don't believe it is weather resistant. Depends on how protected your porch is from wind and rain.

I don't see why not. It would be covered by sunbrella or other material that was for the outdoor area...it is an insert...not to be used by itself.

YES on a deck or porch. Maybe in the ground. We figured out a way to bolt it to our (wood) front porch so it would be safe when grandkids leaned on the back. Just take two 3" (or so) triangular gate-type/strap hinges, fit them at a 90° angle, one on the deck, one on the bench leg and screw down tightly. Voila! Maybe the same could be down in a yard with super long screws or more 'ground friendly' type attachments?

I have mine inside an inclosed porch, not heated though. I think if it is covered and not exposed to the weather it may be alright. I wouldn't think it would be good if it gets wet, the finished may crack or wood could warp/buckle.

I do not know, but I doubt it. Mine has always been on a covered porch or inside.

I originally used this on my front porch, which really is not gonna be rained on, but now I have moved this to my side door, and I will answer your question after (now I am testing it.)

You can. We have them on both enclosed (screened) and open porches in South Carolina. No safety problem.

I agree it is totally up to you. If you are in an area where it could be stolen, there are holes where you can attach it to the porch (totally optional).

It is not intended for outside use although it is rated for humidity 20-80% and thus might be able to be used in a covered porch for example. The strict answer is no though.

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

You could probably use it on a screened in porch. It's only lit by a tea-candle. I have mine on my wall and it looks beautiful - I rarely use it though. It's become more for decor for me.

In my opinion, I would refrain from placing this item in the elements. It is a veneer, as I mentioned in my review, we had to actually add wood putty and stain to a few cracks and other imperfections that were visible upon assembly. It would look rather handsome outside in a sitting area or porch, but again the elements may wreak havoc on the engineered wood. Good luck!

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

Can be used outdoors under a protected porch roof where no chance of it getting wet.

Hi Bizou,The porch doesn't attach to the dog house so you should be able to place it on the side.

Yes to the outdoors, the mount swings from horizontal as pictured to vertical so it could be screwed to a post, side of a house, etc. or just mount it to a board and set it on something tall.very versitile.
