So far , so good!  I have left this outside a few times in an uncovered area and I haven’t had any issues and I love that you can unzip the cover for cleaning.  It definitely has some grey mixed in, which I really like as opposed to the yellow tone of some of the other jute type poofs. I give it 4 stars bc I just received and can’t speak to how it will stand up to regular use. It seems sturdy and well made.
