Was thrilled with the set right out of the box, especially minimal assembly required. However, within a few days the cushions were discolored and had developed some sort of film (from drying out after a rain?) and the wicker "melts" and indents when it's hot out. I do not have this in direct sunlight and try to remove the cushions when not in use so would have expected it to hold up and look new for at least a few months.
