I have had this set almost a year and it was fine until I went to change the covers. The set is outside but under a covered patio. However, the interior of the cushions that have gotten more wet have basically disintegrated. The interior cushions are cheap batting covered with a paper thin material. The thin material shreds as you take the covers off. Now they are all lumpy and look horrible. It is obviously NOT waterproof. I would NOT recommend this set for outdoors.
