Rain will not hurt a compost pile, unless it floods. In order for a compost pile to decompose and form compost, it is necessary to keep it from drying out. Rain will assist you in this activity.

I am pretty sure you do close the compost bin, unless, obviously, you need to put more vegetation in it or mixing, this is usually to keep pests out (birds possums e.t.c) and to keep the soil moist.

I need a nice table top compost bin where can you find this?

A table top compost bin does not sound like a very good idea unless the table is located outside. Compost involves the fermentation and decay of organic material and that usually produces some unpleasant odors, although when the bin is outside, the odor of a healthy bin is not objectionable. You may be thinking of a worm compost bin. These can be kept in the kitchen and should not be smelly. You can find these at many Garden centers or online. I got mine from gardensalive.com
