 Fabric Quality Poor, August 23, 2008
We purchased the dining set, 2 loveseats, 2 club chairs, and an end table from this collection 2 months ago. They are on our deck, which admittedly gets full sun most of the day. We do have a retractable awning which we keep out much of the time. The wood has held up very well (although I do recommend using teak oil on it regularly), but the fabric is horribly faded. And it does not fade consistently. Some of the pillows have turned a bright green, and others gray. It looks awful. At this point, I don't feel like dealing with the hassle of returning it, so I will probably just recover the cushions with a better fabric next summer. I would recommend this furniture for a shaded area, but definitely NOT for a sunny area. What is most shocking to me is that it faded within 3-4 weeks of getting it. A year or two, and I would not be shocked, but to me, this is not "outdoor furniture."
