I want to put this in my courtyard but it would sit on small rocks. Would that be a problem?

i don't think it would be a problem since it rocks back and forth. I have mine on my back patio and I love it. Sorry hope this helps

That all depends on how small the rocks. If they are very small it should be OK. I love the chair.

It would sit there fine, but if you want it to rock that would probably not work. I have mine on my slate patio outside, and even when it hits an uneven spot I kind of feel it, and it doesn't want to rock very well. For me, that's the nice thing about this chair is that it's relaxing to rock in it. But even without rocking, it's very comfy.

The chairs I have are on concrete, so they can rock. I imagine the chair would be fine on rocks, but it may not roll forward as much. If you are agile, this shouldn't be a problem.

You would probably be slightly hindered if you tried to rock on the chaise, but if you were just planning to sit it would be fine. Might dig two little ditches in your rock bed

Ooooh! It might be. But if you put a small piece of carpet or something under each cylinder where it sits on the rocks, it would still totally be worth it. I really like this chair!

I've never tried rocks or outdoor gravel, however, the only slight problem I could forsee is impeding the rocking motion. It should definitely be on a stable surface that is even and doesn't tend to sink into the ground.

I don't think you would unless you had a big open area to put it because its rather large opened up. It's really more of a sit on the ground thing. If t was a park model with a sliding glass door maybe. That being said there is nothing structurally to keep you from doing it it will work anywhere there is sunshine.

The way the island is constructed, if it is moved a lot, the little fasteners that hold it together will eventually work loose from vibration. Sliding it a couple of feet on a smooth surface probably would not harm it.

Yes, I think it would be fine. Its made of painted steel which should be OK in a sheltered outdoor setting. I might buy some stainless steel bolts to use instead of the supplied zinc coated bolts though.

Mine sits on cement as well. I put a decorative hexagon step stone (they're about 2 inches thick and about 12 inches across) on the corners then a nice planter on top of that. However, I live in Southern California so we don't get much wind here.

Yes It is fine on the table. I put it in a shallow planter with rocks around it just because I loved the look! We love it!

Yeah, i don't think that would be a problem... the bench is very stable lengthwise, it rocks a little side to side but its still stable that way as well. I'd give it a test run to be sure but I'm traveling at the moment.

It is not free standing. My only concern would be keeping the stakes down in sand.

There is a lip around the base of the 'rock' with a few holes drilled where you might be able to anchor it down with some thin stakes or bent pieces of wire. That would be if you place it in an area where you can drive the stakes into the soil. The rock does not come with any stakes or pegs when it is shipped to you and it is relatively light and would be blown away in a strong wind if it is not anchored down.

Yes, it should be just fine. I have used it outside on my patio at family bbq's and such and it's been just fine. I've also brought it w/ me on vacation and used it on the beach and it worked like a gem!

I think it would be too light and would just slide unless you attached it somehow to the floor. Ours is outside and anchored into the stone driveway and works perfectly!

I think so, I set it up in the backyard with the stand. You'd have to dig deeply into the sand for it to stay standing.

The garden is open bottomed, made to sit directly on the ground, or whatever surface you put it on. I do not think it would serve the purpose that you wish it to serve.

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...

We put ours on patio brick/tiles. We put maybe 9 of them together to make a flat square surface that extended the diameter of the fire ring. (I think maybe they were 18" x 18") It's fairly heavy and has not moved an inch since we placed it this last fall. It's not anchored or anything either. You probably could put it right on your lawn if it wasn't terribly dry - knowing that it would ruin the grass underneath. But we felt like it looked better to have it sitting on a flat designated area with the tiles.

Why not? As long as it's not pouring rain or gusty winds, there shouldn't be a problem. (And, if it is pouring rain or gusty winds, keeping the Sternos lit is probably the least of your problems :) Go for it and enjoy~

I think it would be dangerous on a patio. It's really designed to be on the ground
