I bought two of these. They're outdoors on a flatroofed patio, but are still in the elements, ie, the hot So Fla sun. I've had both of them 5 yrs and they've yet to show a single sign of weatherbeateness. They're easy to clean. They keep the contents safe from the elements. The shelves are easily adjustable. Best of all, if they need to be moved for a hurricane warning, easy-peasy, quick & easy. They look really nice and make the patio look a lot neater w/everything nicely stored.
