I am on my second year with the covers they do seem to be holding up well, the only con would be they get very moldy quickly, I bleach the covers and that has worked so far without any problem.

I've had mine only 5 months, but I can tell the quality is substantially better than the vinyl-exterior covers I've had before--the ones that would crack after just one season. This one has vinyl on the interior (so as to be watertight), but the exterior is a material that appears will last at least a few years.

This is our second season with the table covers and so far so good. We did have a tear in a chair cover but it was purchased else where and I think it was stretched too far to cover a toy along with the chair.

This is the second year that I have used my cover. It hasn't cracked or dried out. They have a 3 year warranty. Go to the vendor website for more information. I even called the vendor and they were very helpful in answering my questions. FYI - we live in the Blue Ridge Mtns of Virginia. Winter here this year was pretty cold and damp.

I've had mine over a year. Two seasons and it's still just as good. It's just a waxy substance kinda like surf board wax. No reason it should go bad or stop working from one season to the next. Mine is more than half gone and prob will need to get another at the end of this year.

I have kept mine for long periods of time - and they are great. . . key seems to be keeping the moisture at bay. I vacuum sealed mine for keeping but probably not necessary if you seal them well and store in a dry place. You will love these little gems. :)

I've used them extensively. They work well but don't expect to get more than a couple of seasons especially I you ru o partially covered pavement. Still worth I though

Mine stays outdoors on the patio year round and I have never seen any moisture on the outside except for when it possibly gets rained on. Furthermore, after being outdoors for more than a year, there is not a trace of rust. Great bucket.

We have had ours for a year, and take them down for the winter. There has been no fading or ripping, and they have been up for a few very windy storms. They do stretch a little though.

I got mine in the Fall so I haven't had them long enough to know how they will hold up. I'm in Vegas so they will have to endure "very" direct sunlight and extreme heat. I can do a follow up after the Summer when I know how they survived.

I have not used mine outside, But I would, I think they would hold up fine, I have had them saturated several times and they have not rusted or shown any signs of rust. The rubber/plastic covers on the feet may not hold up to cold temps so I would either take those covers off or bring them indoors in cold winter months.

I use it dry, even when they are wet. I have used it for 6 months so far, and no issues.

These solutions are good for about 2 seasons, I replace mine every year though. Just incase they sat in the warehouse for a while.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

I have owned these cushions for over a year. They are still in excellent condition. We use them on our lanai furniture by the pool. Leaving them outside year round would probably depend on your climate. I would think that prolonged exposure to harsh weather would shorten their lifespan. They are of decent quality & comparable with most cushions sold at outdoor stores.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.

If they are left to sit in place indefinitely outdoors, filled with sand, then I would expect them to eventually rot on the bottom. If turned upside down every so often to dry out, then they should last many years.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.

Mine are out months and don't dry up. They usually end up getting replaced because they are covered in crickets, etc.

I have not had any issues at all and they have sat outside since I installed them last spring. One is even cracked from me hitting it with a log and it works fine even in rain and snow.
