How durable? will I have issues with peeling and cracking? Do I need to bring it in in the winter?

Hi Kathy! I have two of these chairs, and they're beautiful. They have not peeled or cracked. I do put them in the basement in the wintertime, but they are lightweight (even though they're strong), so they're easy to carry. I hope this helps!

I don't have the white rocker it's tan. I leave it on a cover porch during the winter and it has not cracked or change colors. Still looks great.

Love the chair. I would not leave it out in the winter as there are screws that will rust.

Very durable. They are made to look like wicker but are much more durable. Mine are out doors year round. All depends on where you are.

I have had mine for 3-4 years and have not had any peeling or cracking. Winter temps get down in the teens at coldest in winter here and mine stay on covered porch all year long, unless threat of heavy winds/tornado at which time I put them in garage.

I use it outside in the snow and rain without any problems. It appears sealed, and I have not had any problems after a winter of use, but do not know that this was a recommended use....

I would not plan on it for winter. The posts are strong enough for it but the covering MIGHT last one winter. My personal advice is do not plan on for winter. Heavy rains oh yes as we've had some already!!

I left it outside last winter, which was a horrible one here, and it didn't crack. My guess is it's soft enough that it can take the winter expansions.

I like mine. It is still being used. It was covered in snow over winter and has some rust but I am going to use your idea and go to home depot and get fire-resistant paint.

I leave mine outside until winter in a Northern ocean climate. It gets rough treatment and does well. When it is closed, it should survive ice and snow.

I kept mine out over the winter. We had a couple of heavy snowstorms. Not a problem. As far as rain, airtight so far -- have had it about a year.

I had mine through winter and it held up well. I also washed it a lot though

Not at all. I bought it around Christmas and its used a lot and no peeling at all.

I have had mine a couple years and leave it out in the winter, too. So far, I have not seen any deterioration in how it looks or its performance.

The covers are waterproof.I had no problem with it over the summer.I am not leaving it out for the winter so I'm not sure if it will crack or not.

4+ years. Slight peeling of coating at a corner or two but not really visible. Full Midwest winters!

Hello, I find this cover to be of a great quality...it has been under intense sun, snow and wind. At the moment is not cracks or holes

Depending on the weather where you live, I'd take it apart and store it inside for the winter. I'd be afraid it would rust. But during summer, spring and fall, my daughter played with hers outside EVERY DAY

It's good in sun and rain. But I'm unsure about snow. The wood it's made out of is treated to be weather resistant, but it's soft so I would worry about it sitting in snow for long amounts of time. The roof piece is shingled so it shouldn't leak. I hope that helps!

I applied it when it was warm out - but it has done fine in the ice and snow. No peeling, etc.... Not sure about APPLYING it while cold. Don't THINK that should matter.... It sticks very well. Maybe just make sure you clean the surface well.

I haven't had it a year yet--its still stored for the winter but I don't get the impression that it will peel.
