These are not waterproof! As others have noted, the tops warped and look moldy after the first rainfall.

It's a good size but I have concerns with the lid. It's warped and doesn't seem finished, or if it is it's not something that will last more than a season. I think I'll refinish it with a better quality outdoor furniture finish.

Unfortunately, not weather resistant. The tops are discolored and warped after only a couple months of being outside, even with being under an awning.

Was crossing my fingers on this one. Aware of some negative reviews, I tried these in black. The size, shape and overall look is nice, but the texture and look of the finish is really bad - more like an undercoating. Comes with a warning paper inside that pretty much says it’s not for good for outdoors. Would have returned but hisband already took away boxes. I’ll paint base and seal the wooden top.

Please DON’T BUY it. The lid developed black mold on it with little bit of rain falling in it. The side table is supposed to be for outdoor use but within 3 months of use under a covered screened porch, the wood lids started to mold and is completely useless now.
