I gave these as a gift to my dad.  I was super embarrassed when, after a rain, the cushions were exceedingly water-logged and so soaked they had to dry out for days.  They are patio chairs and it shows them outside in the picture.  I erroneously assumed they would be protected.  Anywho, I spent money buying 2 cans of spray water repellent and a weekend spraying the cushions.  They look good.  Hopefully they will repel the water and not require my dad, who has trouble walking, to move them indoors each time the skies turn grey.
