over all the furniture is holding up well in the looks department after a couple of years but we do keep it covered 90% of the time. well the composite wood already shows fading and warping.  if we where to leave it out in sun all the time it would probably look really bad now. my complaint is that the adjustable legs/pegs are not stainless and it has rusted and wont turn.  also when it rains the wate finds it way inside the frame its a problem, i had to open holes in bottom of frame to drain but now bugs can make a nice home in there.
