can you put this outside

I wouldn't, but I suppose it would depend on the climate in which you live. I put it in our entry way. We, and our guests use it for getting our shoes off and on

I don't think it would last very long if it was directly exposed to rain and sun. It would be fine outside under a covered patio.

The comments so far are an accurate assessment of the bench's construction. To use it outside, you need to give it a good coat of marine varnish, polyurethane, and put some kind of feet pads on the bottoms of the legs, perhaps rubber. If this were done, it would survive well outside. If you DIY, the cost of materials would be around $25.

I do not think that the finish on this wood is able to survive outdoor weather conditions. I would not put it outdoors.

maybe under a covered porch. depending where you live, you may not want to leave it out during winter

This is a beautiful well made bench. The wood of the bench is soft and so is the finish. It encourages an antique like patina rather than being cheap looking. To answer your question, enjoy the bench indoors, ONLY.

I don't think this will work outside as it doesn't look like it is made for use out of doors. I use mine in the kitchen and wouldn't dream of taking it outside.

No I don't think using it outside is wise. Unless being used in a covered area outside where water will not be able to get into the top area. Top is open - apart from wood framing, the cover is plastic so don't really think it will stand up much to sun, rain and wind elements.

I don't know if it can because it doesn't specify....I would say not to use it outdoors because it can get damaged by the weather/elements. It doesn't seem sturdy enough to leave outdoors 24/7, but if you put it out only during the day and bring it in if bad weather occurs, I suppose it might be fine. However, I would advise getting one specifically made for outdoors.

Yes, it can be used outside, but like any easel it should be anchored securely for protection from the occasional wind gust. I made up a can that can hang from the side with wire to hold my brushes. Happy painting !

You can take it outside, but it cannot stay outside because it will damage the material. My daughter takes hers outside on pretty days for the neighborhood kids to join in and try to do skills on the beam.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

Yes, you can hang it from a tree outside however, you should probably not leave it exposed to the elements.

We mounted ours in the garage. I don't know if it can go outside. It works well for us!

It is sturdy enough to set up outside. It won't be waterproof though, so I would only use it for a time and then bring it back in. It is not a permanent outdoor setup.

I think it can be outside if it's in a covered area away from the elements. It's a sturdy bench and easy to maintain but if it's left out in the elements it may get a little messed up.

Yes, you can use it outdoors. It is plastic, so it can be left out in the rain. I did not use the blue mat they include with it when I'm using it outdoors. It washes off easily and so far hasn't blown away in thunderstorms.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

No it is not made to be outside. It does not have a seal so the stuff inside would get wet.

I would not use it outside unless you would take it in when it rains. The bottom is a tray which would catch the rain.

I don't know why it couldn't be used outside. It is all plastic (or something like that). It seems like it would be water proof. Moisture might make it slippery and therefore not too safe; maybe that is why it is listed for indoor use.

This question is older but in case the original poster or someone else still wants an answer: Yes, you can set it up outside in the winter. I would recommend putting a tarp under it to keep the bottom dry. Don't leave it out to get damp. If it does get damp / wet, set it up in your garage or similar covered area and run it till it is dry. You do not want to fold it up and put it away with it being damp. Also, I know this may be obvious, but don't set it up and run it in the rain.
