LOVE this set!! We have had it 2 full summers and are starting our 3rd.  The colored cushions come as slip covers, so as the colored start to fade and weather you can just switch to the tan.  The set has held up beautifully.  We always put the cushions away over night and in the rain. They only started to fade this third summer, although, we haven't been as good about bringing them in. The times they got caught out in the rain, they dried out fairly easily and had no lasting damage.  Overall, great set!!!
