This is a beautiful set when you first get it. However the cushions hold so much water when it rains that they are actually heavy to lift. You have to take them off after it rains and stand them straight up to drain. Also we just put this set out around June 10 and the pillows and cushions are already fading, which is very disappointing. I live in Saint John NB Canada and our summer days are usually around 20-22 degrees on a good day. As you can see from the pictures the difference in the colors after only 6 weeks!
