Initially I was thrilled with the look of this set - I even bought a second set for my vacation home.  
I have owned this set for one year and six months.  It sits on my deck outside but is protected from all day direct sun by my very shady lot.  This weekend I went outside and noticed that a few of the weaves on the table had split.  I pulled one of the stools out from under the table where it has been stored and literally put my hand through the seat without any effort.  Both the table and at least one of the stools have "rotted" without very, very minimal use or exposure.
