Have had this set for a little over a year now and it's been outside the whole time in Northern Virginia. Cushions are still a nice color and haven't faded at all. Compared to all the sets we sat on in person at a comparable price, this is by far more comfortable. The cushion sleeves have zips so they're washable. However, the cushions inside the sleeves have started to deteriorate so it's impossible to take them out of the sleeves without them completely falling apart. Still, they clean up nicely with a quick vaccuum using the hand held option on any household vaccuum cleaner. For the price, I think it is well worth it.
