Has anybody used them outside? Would they be sturdy enough on a concrete patio?

These mats are recommended for indoor uses. It is fine if you only use it temporary and put it away afterwards. Extended use outside may alter the color or quality due to the weather.

They are pretty sturdy,but I don't know how they wil hold up in the high heat. I have mine mounted in my garage to hold my extension cords.

Yes it does - I have had mine for quite awhile now and they are holding up really well - I just use them inside though. Someone had asked if you could use them outside - I would say no unless you had an enclosed patio.

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.

They're very sturdy. Not easily bent at all, but I'm sure with enough force, could be.

I agree with Bruce. They are fairly sturdy, if you lay them flat they are more rigid...I would say if the weight is distributed evenly and no sharp indentations are made, they could probably support 20-30 lbs each without being damaged.

They are definitely sturdy but not recommended for outdoor use. Great product for the money.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.

I use them primarily on grass but I stay away from concrete. They are a thrill and we have tons of laughs. They are very slippery if wet so best to keep dry. Highly recommend u r gonna have lots of fun.

I just tried one. Yes they are very sturdy. They are very light so storage would have to support them upright.

They seem pretty durable to me. I'd say they'd hold up. They don't work very well for inside use, just an FYI

Nope. I wouldn't use them outdoors. Oh and they do work but they are a little flimsy.

I have not used mine outside, But I would, I think they would hold up fine, I have had them saturated several times and they have not rusted or shown any signs of rust. The rubber/plastic covers on the feet may not hold up to cold temps so I would either take those covers off or bring them indoors in cold winter months.

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.

They look like they are made of hard plastic like PVC. I would think they would work outside. I used them in my shed for a workbench.

Yes. I have been using it on concrete patio in my backyard for almost 10 months now.
