I have this set outside under a covered porch. I loved it when I first put it together but I have only had it outside for 3 weeks and the cushions look terrible. They show EVERYTHING! I'm not sure if I have a bad batch of cushions but it has water spots all over it. I'm not talking food stains. Water stains. I wouldn't think I would have to worry about that with outdoor furniture. Especially being covered by a roof. I can't imagine what it would look like not under a shelter. I would say within a year the cushions will be junk. Very disappointed.
