How sturdy is the fabric to sun and rain? Are the cushions made of foam and does it dry quick in the rain?

We had this for about 4 mos. The fabric itself is strong. We try to put away the questions when it rains. It will take couple days to dry if it got rained on. It gets dirty quickly if you dont take care of it. Only issue we had was the seam work. Its isn't that good. We had our seams redone.

Fabric is sturdy to the sun...of course any excessive direct sunlight will eventually damage anything. The pillows are not rain proof, if u spill something on them it can be whisked away by hand or towel, but if left in the rain they will absorb lots of water I made the mistake of leaving it out in a down pour and the pillows had to be squeezed to remove all the water

The fabric is durable and insides are foam, though covers are zippable for easy washing. I do not leave the covers outdoors and my back porch is covered where the set is located. I adore it!

My cushions are white and I haven't had them very long so I'm not sure about fading. I did scotch guard them however. I just use soap and water to clean off any stains. The cushions are made of dense foam and it does take them some time to dry out completely after a rain. The two throw cushions were red and yes-they have already faded!

We have ours next to the pool and are constantly sitting with wet towels and swimsuits. The fabric that comes with the set is this white/cream color and gets dirty quickly so plan on investing in another color or washing frequently. We bought patio furniture coves from Lowes and use that to protect from rain or sun. It is a decent product, but nothing spectacular...especially for the price. Price should be around $400-$500 based on quality. Pain in the butt to put together too. We bought an outdoor rug too and that helped with the shifting when people sit on it. Hope this helps.

Yes they are. We have had storms for one week and chair cushions have remained dry.

It's a solid blue fabric backing. Not a slippery fabric. It's heavier duty than a simple cotton, but not quite as tough as the fabric used on most outdoor cushions.

I am in the San Francisco area and the last few days we have had a downpour. My cushions are bone dry. I leave the cushions on year round with no issues. Outside appears to be a canvas cover, but inside is vinyl lined. For parties, I just take them off and lay them flat on the ground with no problem. I would not advise crunching them up tightly as that might affect the vinyl liner inside. I have read about one person saying her cushions were ruined, but I have had no problems. I highly recommend these and have ordered several as my preferred replacement choice when others have failed.

We've had the cushions for two summers and they've held up nicely. We have a covered deck, but keep them out all summer long. They are not the thickest cushions available, but they're not the most expensive either. I bought them for the price and the pattern.

I live in South Florida from October to the following May...cover has held up well in the sun and heavy rain...good value for the price...I leave the covers on most of the time to protect cushions from sun and rain and have not noted any deterioration after 2 years

NO the cushions are not and they will NOT repel water very well either...they do not unzip for washing ease and you must store them when rain is forecast. They are also NOT very plush...

I haven't used it in the rain but it is of sturdy construction so I would say you should be fine in the rain.

Yes, they seem to be waterproof. We have had several rains this spring and the chairs and cushions have stayed dry.

None I saw but have had outside for a year in NC sun and rain. holding up well other than expected fading on cushions. Comes with a cover you can use if you stack them. survived poolside with grandkids so far :)

Stephen, yes they are waterproof, tested many times this summer on the rainy east coast and not a drop of water on my new patio furniture cushions. They will fade in the sun, no big deal. After a few years you can discard and replace.

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.

It seems pretty sturdy. But I don't wash mine. I spot clean with a damp cloth, then fabreeze it and put it on the back patio to dry.

Hello, the fabric on this set is not Sunbrella, *Water Resistant Cushions (Double-stitched for strength) are hand washable. thank you for your inquiry.

Yes, I live less than 1/3 mile from beach, purchased end of last summer, it's been outside whole time. It's held up very well, under sun, early morning dampness, fog and rain. i have folded it up, and placed under overhang if the inclement weather lasts more than a few days, but it's still outside, and no sign of rust or breakdown of weave on tabletop or chairs. I've been satisfied with my purchase.

We have used this at the beach. No rain but I think it would work pretty well. We really enjoyed it for the shade!!
