  1. Wicker seems really nice and my father always complained about the fading. I think this can be a great Christmas present. However I wonder how long does it last?

    • Furkan,
      As with any outdoor furniture, the weakest thing will be the cushions. Keeping them out of the sun and rain when they are not needed will prolong their outdoor life, see some storage solutions here. The resin wicker will have the color added to the mix before it is weaved, it is not a paint. It will fade if it is in the bright hot sun for most of its life. If you live in a very sunny and hot climate, I would get a poly cover (see my examples here) for the set when not in use.

  2. Great selection of conversation sets.I wish I can have one of those in the future. I like the “Providence” conversation set because of its “swivel” function. It is a bit pricey but I think it is because of the material used or labor cost. Many times, price is always relative to the product.
    I was curious if the cushion is wrapped with cloth or man-made leather? I prefer the latter considering it is for outdoors. Nice article.

    • Joyce,
      The cover for the cushion is fabric. Not many lather covered outdoor cushions as the sun will dry them out quickly. The best fabrics are Sunbrella, and Olefin. The Olefin is the cheaper choice and is the one that the Providence collect has.
      The price is higher due to the swivel chairs, better fabric and great looks.
