I purchased 2 cushions , 1 I put out right after I received them and one I just put out, about 3 weeks later. I can't believe how much the first one has faded already. I had a lumbar pillow on the one I put out, and you can see the dark color of the pillow's outline on the cushion. I would not recommend these cushions nor anything thing in this line made with this material unless you will be keeping them under a patio or other cover. I would return them had it not been outside for 3 weeks. They should keep their color for at least 1 summer!
