We live on the river and I purchased two of these to hang from deck ceiling facing water.   My boyfriend had to buy me 2 more as everyone would race to sit in these. I have left them outdoors, so far so good. I imagine they will show faster wear at some point, none yet.  They are inexpensive enough that I can replace. They are more comfortable than more expensive chairs I've gotten in past   I like the option to use pillow or not.
