Love this chair and have recommended it to many clients and have owned 2 myself for a few years. The colors in the teal and sky blue chairs have not faded after 4 years and the base shows only a couple rust spots - but I have left the chairs out 365 days a year in northern exposure San Francisco climate, when it would probably make sense to bring these into storage over the winter. Especially with how expensive outdoor furniture has gotten, these are a great value for the quality you get.
