can this be outdoors year round? I live in CA zone 7. Also how wide is the top of the stool? Thank you.

No it weathers easy started to chip shortly after I got it. Does not hold up to moisture and rain and company would not take it back. Looks good but only for a week.

The width on top is 11". I am using mine indoors in my sunroom, so I really don't know how it would hold up outside.

It is about 11" across. I live in Minnesota and I don't think I could tell you about outdoor year round use. I use in indoors as an end table. Very cute!!

I would not put it outdoors. The paint is not durable in weather. The top is 11-1/2 inches. We have two and both are used inside..........Jim

No. The top is made of particle wood. With plastic covering. Not something I would use outside.

We have had ours since May 2013 and it sits outside all year long in the Ohio sun and snow. The handles have definitely faded, but the actual structure is still very sturdy.

I live in San Diego. Our patio furniture is outside year round. The chairs that decayed first were the ones in the sun every day. Now the ones that have been under the patio cover all the time are decaying. DO NOT BUY!

It's the Laurus nobilis; in a mild climate, it can be left outdoors in the winter (if protected from a freeze), but otherwise should be brought inside during winter months. In our zone 10, it's planted in the yard and has reached 8-10 ft. high by 4-5 ft. wide in 10 years. Potted, it will stay smaller.

We left ours outside in Ohio through the winter. I was surprised how well it held up through all the snow and ice. There are some evidence of wear but that comes with the elements of being outside. It is small enough that you could bring in the garage in the winter but I do not think that would be nessecary. When it rains sometimes the windows do not shut because the wood expands, but they always go back to normal once it dries up. Good Playhouse for the price.

Well, I bought it as a gift to my daughter this summer. So, we have not seen it weather the winter yet. But, I bought it with the belief that it will be fine through the winter. My mother had a similar table fromt he same type of wood and it always stayed out side through all the seasons (she lived in Massachusetts).

I have had two different styles of these on my side and front porch all summer. It has a nice glaze, and I wouldn't see a problem with them being totally outside, unless they got clinked by a rock or something a lawnmower might fling. I will be putting them into the garage over the winter, as with all my other yard and garden stuff, other than the rocks. We live in Northern Michigan. I use as side tables, but can sit on them...

I've had mine for 2 years now. I left it outside over the summer. It's heavy duty. Looks great. And shouldn't tip over with high winds or squirrels.

Well, if you live in a climate where it doesn't rain for the entire summer (California), you could put this outdoors for the summer season only. Also, its only about a $100 so you could buy a new one every other year if needed. If you do put it outside, I would suggest a spar varnish to make it last longer though.

I second Bonnie's answer; we have kept ours outside in NY as well (during Summer, Fall and now Winter) and it is holding up very well.

It has a floor. It also must be put in storage during the summer or it will rot from the sun.

The stools are made of solid hard wood. I am not certain that you may use them for long term use out doors where they may have to withstand the elements. I bought my set for indoor purposes. I suggest that you contact the sellers of this product regarding the designed use of their product.

We haven't had it during the rainy season yet and it is in a covered area. That being said it is faux wood and that will be able to handle the weather. The other parts are metal and are coated. We are in California so I don't know how it would handle sitting in snow. We do move in all of our patio furniture at our cabin for the winter just because we don't like it sitting in the snow for periods of time.

I live in California. I wouldn't leave it outside the base is plastic so it may not rust. I use this for camping. I hope this helps.

I have my EcoQue under an outdoor picnic shelter, plus I purchased a cover for it when not being used, so I have no problem using it year round. Mr. Tim Jewett, President of the company that sells the EcoQue told me he keeps his unit on his balcony, exposed to the Seattle winter rains with no problems. Give Mr. Jewett a call concerning this issue at: 206-388-5290.
