I ordered about a dozen cushions and pillows in various sizes for my outdoor furniture. These cushions are beautiful and blended well with the pink hydrangeas on the deck. The material is thick and sturdy. One of the cushions arrived sewn wrong and I had no problem getting a replacement. The cushions handled rain well, no color bleeding or problems. I don't leave them outside over winter months but they did experience a lot of sun and some rain during spring, summer and fall. I also did not notice any fading from the sun - although I expect some fading will eventually occur. So far so good...
