Would there be any mold or deterioration of the chair's material if kept outdoors underneath a patio 24.7?

If it's protected from the rain and moisture, you will continue to enjoy it. In situations where it would be exposed to rain, I would recommend that it be brought inside when not in use. It's made from 100% cotton and needs to be protected from excessive moisture over periods of time.

Mine is hanging from a tree branch outside in southern california, semiarid climate, & is fine.

I have installed mine under my deck and leave it there through 3 seasons. No mold issues at all.

I've had the product for over a year now and while I don't live in an area that has high mildew, so far it seems to be resisting mildew as promised. Please note that I only have the chair and cover out in my yard during summer, by late fall I move it all into storage.

In my opinion, I would refrain from placing this item in the elements. It is a veneer, as I mentioned in my review, we had to actually add wood putty and stain to a few cracks and other imperfections that were visible upon assembly. It would look rather handsome outside in a sitting area or porch, but again the elements may wreak havoc on the engineered wood. Good luck!

I've had no issues with mold. Out patio is uncovered and the sun is brutal. However, not even have the product for a year, most covers have rotted and split.

I would suggest a good coat of polyurethane or a coat of exterior paint to protect the bench if you were going to keep it outside, even on a covered balcony. The finish is ok, but I doubt it would withstand moisture on a regular basis.

Adirondack chairs are typically made to be weather resistant, but I'm not taking a chance with this one. Even though the Amazon description says it is made out of eucalyptus (a good wood for outdoor use), there was no packing info verifying this claim. I also question all-white anything outdoors--it doesn't take much to start looking dirty. This chair does come in a brown stain, which might camouflage dirt better and a stain may hold up better outdoors than white paint. Another reviewer who bought the brown chair had this to say, "Left untreated, eucalyptus will weather when exposed to the elements, turning a soft shade of silver/gray similar to the weathering of teak. In addition, when untreated, natural splitting or cracks will appear, but this will not affect the durability of the furniture. To guard against this weathering process and to maintain a desired look, apply coats of a hardwood oil. The frequency of necessary oil applications depends on the intensity of the outdoor elements. The furniture has already been oiled prior to packing, and it is recommended that an oil treatment be repeated at least once a year. Giving the furniture an extra treatment before exposing to rain will prolong the "new" look and ensure a longer life."

I think it is made for indoor use, and if used outside and exposed to rain and sun it probably would degrade.

No. The seat is a soft material that does wick away some amounts of liquid, but would not be able to stand up to a rainfall. Also, it has no weatherproof, so the metal would probably start to rust if left outside. It is a nice, sturdy chair, but I would not recommend it for outdoor use.

Yes it has sustained well outdoors. I have it setup underneath a covered patio and have had no issues. Also, as far as assembly... It's pretty much pre assembled. The sides fold out and the shelves slide into the unit and fit into place. Very quick setup

Add to: after 2 years mold/mildew resistant--I keep the chairs outside on deck without room year round!

UV rays from the sun will deteriorate the fabric for sure and I would imagine that it would saturate with water if rained on, so I would say no. Maybe under an awning or in a garage, but not directly in the elements. I don't think it would hold up very long outside with no protection.

It will probably soften but I don't see it going rotten if it's only a few hours outside.

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!

I live in New Hampshire were there can be mildew problems. Our chair has not had any problem with mildew although it is in the sun most of the time so mildew might not form.

I don't think so, I have sunbrella for a boat top and it's not the same. I keep our chairs under our patio and they faded a bit... Not much though. I am still happy with chairs.

I keep mine inside however, being that it is painted and not exposed metal I would think that it would be fine outside. The only issue I foresee is maybe the rubber drying out over time but you could always tape it up if that happens. I wouldn't worry about keeping it outside.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well
