This is a great little set. It fits perfectly in our patio. We have had it about 7 months and it still looks like we got it yesterday. The furniture has been heavily rained on, as well as had some pretty intense sun and I do not notice any changes to its appearance. We do bring in the cushions when it rains because their quality is not quite as nice as the furniture itself. I believe they are water resistant, but we prefer not to test their limits. Eventually the cushions will be replaced with a nicer quality cushion. For now they will do. Overall very happy with the set, and I assembled it myself in about 2 hours.
