The furniture is really great but the cushions have ZERO weatherproofing. One rain and the cushions were wet for 5 days and are already mildewing. And when I contacted Birch Lane, the response was "the cushions themselves are not weatherproof and only the wood is." So...I guess if you want to purchase outdoor furniture, billed as outdoor furniture on the website, you cannot actually leave it outdoors. Good luck with that.
