This is the second winter the sectional remained outdoors covered with a tarp and they are still in great condition (cushions are inside).  In season the cushions remain out all the time.  They dry quickly after rain, I just have to set them on their end to drain.  They are reasonably comfortable for the price and thickness of the cushion.  They look great!  The “rattan” is some kind of heavy duty polypropylene plastic but it looks good and is more durable.   I recommend!
