Will it rust if left outside?

I believe eventually it would. I don't really think it was made to withstand the elements, However if you really need to leave it outside I would get a tarp to cover it.

I am not sure as I sent it back because it could not handle the load it claimed.

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

The only rust I've found is the washers on wheels. We've left it out since dec and it stil looks new

Yes. There's already a very little rust on the screened bottom after about 6 months So we may have to touch it up from time to time.

The cart is completely painted & I leave mine outside, but under a roof. It does get a little wet when the wind blows rain on it. I think that if it left unprotected in some way that eventually it will start to rust. After all, its made of metal not plastic. Some user care is expected I would think.

Honestly, I'm not sure, but I would guess that it would be mostly rust-resistant. If you were to leave it outside, then to be on the safe side, you could hit it with some type of a clear coat. A spray bottle of Rustoleum or something like that would probably be the best $10 insurance policy you could buy.

It seems pretty well painted. But not sure how long the paint will last. Very cheaply made. Clips holding sides up fell off and got lost.

I think it may eventually rust if you keep it outside. my daughter is 80lbs and still uses it.

No. I've only had it for a few months, but I seriously doubt that it would rust.

I would assume, like any metal object, if it gets wet or put in any moist area, it will rust. My suggestion to you is: if you need something for outside, stick with plastic.

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

No, it hasnt rusted at all and it is outside on my balcony. But I live here in Southern CA and it has hardly rained this winter!! I really like my little plant stand. :)

I would think it would not rust since it is plastic!!! Mine is outside and doing fine.

The table is made of aluminum and stainless steel, so being outside would not likely result in rusting. If it is under an awning or has shelter, definitely no issues. If in direct contact with rain, I think the question is whether the wheel locks and baskets would rust/corrode. I am not sure. For the price and quality, I do think that is is worth the risk. There are also spray on items such as lacquer that you may be able to apply to the steel components to keep them from rusting. They sell it in the spray paint aisle at most DIY stores.

It's made if metal with a black powder coat -so yes metal will rust exposed to weather. You could try spraying with a more weather proof paint .

No it will rust in the rain. We turn ours on the end so no water stays on it. Spray a lubricant on seat screw so it doesn't corrode. Love ours, will be using it again soon.

I have mine in a corner of the kitchen, but it seems to have a powder coat of bronze paint all over, so I think it may not rust.

it has been pretty rust-resistant.....we took it camping a few times and have left it out in the weather...no rust as of yet...

It does not appear to be susceptible to rust. It's well painted on every surface. I don't know how the salt in the sea air will effect it over time, but it's really well made, I can say that. We have ours outside uncovered and it holds up beautifully.

The paint on the rack comes off with use. I would imagine that even with moderate use it comes off fairly quick. With that being said, your protection against the elements goes away and it will be subject to rust. I would not recommend leaving it outdoors. Hope that helps.

if left out side it would prob rust or get weather beaten. anything metal is going to look ugly after being left out after time.

I've only used it indoor. Not really sure if u can leave it outdoor. It's made of aluminium. So may not rust easily.
