We have had this seating furniture for about a year and a half. So far I love it. We did store the cushions last winter and I do suggest that, otherwise with any rain the cushions become so saturated with water you have to put them an their sides to drain the moisture out. The pictures show throw pillows that I added and it should be noted the set doesn’t come with them. Additionally we separated the sectional into two seating arrangements. One near our spa the other near our pool. It is nice to have the flexibility this set provides to rearrange the pieces. As far as durability so far so good. They have no signs of breakage or damage and as I have said they have been outdoors for a year and a half. All in all we love them!
