I spent too much on these -when it rains, the amount of water that soaks in is incredible - takes a very long time to dry out - but I really wanted grey and that colour was hard to find, so I grabbed these - also after a couple weeks of use, one of the seams is separating already, would expect more for the price - I have cushions from Pier One that were less expensive and have lasted for almost 10 years - have not faded and even though they are not waterproof, they do not get as wet as these ones do -
