This might be a silly question, but if this bench sat in the sun, would it get really hot?

I don't think it's a silly question but I'm unsure. I haven't had mine that long and it sits mostly in the shade but I'd be surprised if it got warm. Again, I'm unsure. Love my bench though.

I don't think that it would get very hot because the seat is made of aluminum tubing which dissipates heat well. The back would hold heat better but because air can flow through it I doubt it would get too hot to lean on.

I do not have the bench sitting in the sun, as a general rule,. In the South, we tend to prefer to sit in the shade. So, I had to check it out. I have had the bench in the sun for several hours and do not detect any increase in temperature. I have been well pleased with this bench, with the exception of an orange-ish substance that tends to look somewhat like rust in places but wipes off. It tends to be at the joints and around the screws. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. It may be some type of substance used to protect the metal. For products made outside the country, it's hard to guess. Otherwise, very happy. I do not have the bench sitting in the sun, as a general rule,. In the South, we tend to prefer to sit in the shade.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm.The heat may even irritate the area.

yes it goes all the way to 90 degrees. and it lays all the way flat as well. The best bench for the money

The unit does get pretty hot. I would not recommend using with a wood canopy.

Yes but it is made almost entirely from metal so it will get very hot. Be prepared only to touch it with hot mits.

It does get kind of hot if you sit too far back in the umbrella, But I moved our chairs out just enough so we would have good ventilation and it helped a lot. This is a review given from Sunny, Hot, Humid, South Florida just so ya know :)

Everyone loves this bench. Have not noticed it getting hot at all, don't think it will burn the kids. It sits in full sun in the summer, but e are in the mountains of NC so we don't get over 85 very often though, so if you are in a very hot climate my answer may not be right for you.

Yes, they do get hot in the sun. I got cushions for these chairs as well as for the loungers, standard sizes fit just fine.

No, it shouldn't be so hot as to cause worry. Mine just gets warm after a while

I don't think it would be comfortable. The top isn't sharp per se, but thin and I would imagine it gets fairly hot.

I haven't noticed it being hot. I have mine mounted in the open under my solar panels, so I can't tell you what it would be like in an enclosure.

Yes, the exterior does get quite hot. Top and sides will evaporate a splash of water in seconds.

I have loved having this bench so far. It is a good and sturdy bench, but I don't think it would do that great outside.

The main reason it seems so hot is that it is aluminum housing, which conducts heat well to the human touch. Set it out in the sun and you wouldn't be able to touch it then either. It's not really as hot as you think. I haven't actually measured the temperature, but I would not worry about it. The wood in your attic is probably getting much hotter on a daily basis.

Hi Kiri, yes it will get that hot. Sounds like a good fit for you and good shape for legs. Good luck. Susan

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

The metal might get a bit hot, but not as hot as any other bench in direct sun.
