For several years, we've been replacing replacing 1 of  6 classic, wooden chairs for ones. This one was #5, and identical to the others in style but a 5th color. The oldest one we have now is 6 years old, and they still look new. We live in Northern CA. So don't have harsh weather, and keep them outside all year round. For a couple of months, we cover them, when it's too cold to hang outside. We love Bay Isle Home and the price Joss and Main had them for was at least $100 less than a typical price for the same item.
