I need a bench that can sit out in full sun AND rain (without rusting). How does this one hold up under such circumstances?

Ours has been outside in all weather conditions. No rust although I think it is cast aluminum.

Yes, it is sturdy and well made. It should not be exposed to pouring rain or lots of direct sun for the finish will be ruined, but Zi had mine in a screened in porch under heavy shade trees.

If you are not using the pit regularly, I would always move it out of the weather....it will stand up for a while, but nothing lasts forever. If you purchased the cover, that will certainly help keep the top in good shape...the key is to watch the legs...if they get any kind of rust, wire brush them and put a good paint like Rustoleum on them and they should last for years...even with the rain.

I just bought the potters bench this past summer and haven't been through a winter with it. No rain yet!!! I did put two coats of a sealer on it to help protect it, just in case.

I just got mine in August, and I'm directly on the beach. So far it's holding up, with no signs of rust.

I've had the chair just over a year, have left it out in the rain a couple times and no rust.

I leave it outside all summer. Has held up well. I took it in for the winter though.

Well, I haven't tested my two, but my husband and I, combined weight of 280 or so, can sit on it comfortably. These benches are quite sturdy---surprisingly so. I have noticed after a few months of outdoor use on an open patio that the bamboo is starting to crack, so I don't think they are long-lived for outdoor use but at the price you can afford to replace them occasionally.These are a great buy.

Is this Keter 186300 70 Bench storage "waterproof" ?? I need a box bench that is waterproof, no rain getting in.

This is a great bench, I love that it has storage. I have had mine for almost a year and I sit on it everyday and It still looks brand new.

Yes, we've had the bench outside, part shade, for a few years now. Still looks good.

I coated mine with Thompsons and purchased in approx August. It has been outsidein Atlanta and we have received a LOT of rain and it is warping enought that I will have to paint it probably in spring. Still a nice bench though, for the price you can't beat it.

No. The seat is a soft material that does wick away some amounts of liquid, but would not be able to stand up to a rainfall. Also, it has no weatherproof, so the metal would probably start to rust if left outside. It is a nice, sturdy chair, but I would not recommend it for outdoor use.

its a pretty stable bench but i would not recommend leaving big heavy planters on it for long periods of time.i water proofed mine to protect it from moisture damage and i have put the smallest of planters on it so as not to hide the beauty of the table itself.

It has a high heat resistance finish, so I beleive it will hold up to the direct sunshine. Recently puchased this sink and we are glad we did.

Definitely! My table/bench got lots of rain this past winter and still looks almost brand-new. I do have an umbrella attached to it as I keep it as a table most of the time so I guess that has helped it get through the storms. It is a good product overall and I recommend it.

It's probably fir, but whatever it is, it's terrific. I gave it two coats of marine polyurethane and after 6 months outside it still looks like new.I haven't seen any bench of this size and quality for much less than $300, and I paid only $75. Also, easy to assemble.
