I purchased this piece November 2017 and Im still loving it! I live in Florida where it rains alot and is sunny. I didnt want to spend a fortune on something that wouldnt last. I DONT put a cover on because I like to look out my windows and see it all setup. So its constantly outdoor in the elements 24-7. I have to say with what I put it through  Im very happy with it and Im looking to buy the same 1 for a different area around my pool. Only negative I have is you cant buy more slip covers for the seat cushions but they are zipper so they can be washed.
