Very similar to / also not cheap like Polywood, we have Highwood and highly recommend. We cover them in winter, but they're outside year-round. Extremely durable (and extremely heavy). Three years strong so far.

We bought a cheap wicker set like these. They're durable and fairly comfortable. But the best thing is the removable cushions with washable covers. We pull in the cushions when it's the elements require it, and it's easy to wash the covers and pillows.

You could find something more comfortable or better looking, for sure. But just make sure you have removable and washable cushions and covers.

Hoping this is a good fight. Hoping Du Plessis takes it but I don't think he will

Boring as hell. All 5 rounds, bell rings, immediate takedown, 5 minutes on the mat. Crowd not happy.

Don't mind takedowns but atleast try to end the fight there.

I strongly second this. Yeah, it's expensive, but it's indestructible and really ****ing comfortable. We've had our set for 15 years and it sits outside all winter and looks brand new.

Can't recommend it enough.

Edit: I may be talking about a different product. This is the stuff I'm talking about:

Further edit: Holy hell the prices have gone up. I think we paid about $1200 for 2 gliders, the love seat glider and 2 tables. I know it's 15 years, but that would be roughly $4k now.

Depending what he buys, some stuff you definitely need to cover, you don't want it soaking in the rain and/or snow. Other stuff it doesn't matter.

Yeah, I removed that post. I think I'm talking about a different product. Mine has never been inside and looks brand new. All stainless hardware and no sun fading whatsoever. It's fairly incredible. I really didn't believe the guy that sold it to us (that it wouldn't fade at all). I knew the hardware was fine.

The Milwaukee area sure doesn't need this heavy rain
