Well this set is lovely and just what I was looking for.  However, I am sorry to say the cushions are neither water resistant or waterproof and the pillows absorb huge amounts of water and take a bit of time to dry, days unless it’s very hot. Patio to me implies outdoors uncovered. My bad for not recognizing there was cotton in the cushions. I may have to replace the cushions with Sunbrella and waterproof cushions which will be expensive. I did buy a cover for it and the cover works well but all it takes is forgetting to cover once and your cushions are soaking wet for days.￼. I’m concerned about whether that will cause mildew at some point in the cushions. Such a bad concept  for outdoor furniture. What were they thinking￼.
