Shelves are sturdy plastic and the cart is fine for use on outdoor patio. That's where mine is located.

Hi, The shelves for the TRINITY 3-Tier Utility Cart are made of plastic and can be used outdoors. However, we do recommend for the item to be stored inside when not in use as it is not made to withstand weather conditions. Call us with any other questions you might have and thank you!

the shelves are made of plastic the support poles are made of aluminum. I believe the caster wheels are steel. the wheels would be the only susceptible part to moisture. the shelves are thin and won't support much weight.

I can't get any more specific than saying they are made of black plastic. They seem sturdy enough, it's just that the interlocking plastic hinge on the lower shelf breaks right away and the shelf is what gives structural strength to the design.

The shelves are sturdier but there is pressed wood used as an overhang and for decoration. I don't expect this unit to survive a move which is such as shame.

They match the shelves, so yes I would say they stainless steel. It is a nice sturdy shelf too, well worth the money.

The shelves are made of thick glass and are bought separately from the bakers rack. I love mine. Great for plants and small items.

They are made of wood. Not very durable but very functional. Mine havent had problems after 4 months.

Thanks for your inquiry. The pillars are made of steel covered in a smooth chrome powder coat, and the shelves are constructed from melamine. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Yes, I imagine they'd be good for holding plants and other things outdoors. They are coated which should offer some protection against the elements but I would still keep an eye on them if you live somewhere where there is extreme heat or sun. I'd be more worried about the plastic giving out and wearing away then the metal shelves themselves.

They are metal. But painted metal. My husband says the paint would protect them as long as it holds up. I purchased it for use in my church's toddler room, so I don't know about outdoor use. I think it would hold up for some time. But, yes, metal.

The glass shelves are heavy and thick, and are made to withstand the weight of china, etc. So feel free to display your items proudly!BarbaraWeatherBuffs(928) 635-1088

The shelves are sturdy, the only thing that is cheaply made is the backing. Looks nice.

Where do you live? Mine has always been inside. It has thick clear acrylic shelves. I don't know if they would cloud up if they were outside. The hanging apparatus is made of a finely wrapped and very strong wire. I can't tell if it is aluminum or a wire that would oxidize in outside air which contains different pollutants. They are wonderfully strong and well made units. I will have my husband answer your questions when he gets home as he is in quality control and has an eye for problems. later: My husband said, check with the manufacture.

They are metal. It is what it is, you can get something sturdier but you will pay a whole lot more. This has worked just fine for us and it was pretty easy to put together.

The poles are tubular metal. The shelves are heavy wire, coated with plastic. We had a problem with some of the plastic support pieces that hold the vertical poles together, and on which the shelves rest. The poles are inserted into these brace pieces, and some of the brace pieces broke or cracked. I must say, though, that customer service was extremely helpful and replaced everything. We also had a zipper get stuck on the flower house itself, and they took care of that as well. I think they have since upgraded the pieces that caused us a problem. If I recall correctly, they had changed suppliers and that didn't work out well for them, so they changed again. Hope this helps. The poles are tubular metal.

Hello, Yes the shelves are plastic. I have used them several times now and am very pleased with them. I put them in the dish washer 5 on top and 5 on the bottom on quick wash, and they work fine. I hope this was helpful. Rocky

It is made out of sturdy cardboard. I have it filled to the max and the shelves are holding up pretty well.
