How do the cushions etc. handle getting wet? How quick to dry etc.?

the last rain just soaked two of mine, a tan and this blue one. They seemed fine afterwards, left out in the sun, dried up overnight. how fast? sorry, don't know in hours. I would not leave them out all the time though, don't think they are designed for that.

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.

Well my furniture is under a patio but from the material that the cushions are made of, it should be fine in the rain. Water seems to repel off pretty well

When I 1st got this set I took the cushions off if I knew it was going to rain but then I got lazy and this whole summer I just left the cushions on at all times. My cushions are in the same condition as when I purchased them so yes they can be left out in the rain. Of course you will have some wet cushions until they dry out :-)

It is water resistant, but not water proof. The material is sturdy, much like most outdoor furniture pads. But if it rains, and you sit on it, well, you will have to dry off.

I bought these chairs last summer and they have held up well. The cushions are fade/stain resistant, but I sprayed with Scotchguard for extra protection since I live in the ultra-humid Deep South.

How is the padding holding up? I often see sofas with the pillow type cushions that have gone flat like deflated balloons over time.

Not really. The cushions can be removed and stored. Or you can buy all weather covers. I live in Florida and they have been in intense sun and rain for two years with no problems.

The cushions are water repellant and durable. I'm not sure of the exact material. The color is vibrant and true to advertised color ( I have red) Hope this helps!

Here is what I can tell you...the cushions would not hold up well in constant rain. The resin weave is good quaility and would be ok in rain. The frame is solid metal rods I expect would be ok in rain. What I cant answer is how the salt will affect the resin weave or frame. I bought covers for mine from Frontgate.

The outside can get damp depending on how much they go. I have had no problems with them becoming soaked or anything like that. I have not noticed any problems with skin breakdown or oder either. Hope this helps.

I've never had a problem with the pad getting wet. This pad has worked really well so far!

I don't have an answer for you. Sorry. I live in Minnesota. I can say, this is the second year I have kept the cushions out all summer, under the covers and they look as good as new. So they are definitely waterproof. I wish I could help you more! Good luck

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

They won't rip right away, but they will after a couple of times and you will track wetness around the rest of your house. No, they are not waterproof.
