Could these be kept outside on a deck or gazebo for a comfy sitting area for the kids? Will they mildew?

I can't speak for the water resistance other than the odd food/drink spill. But I would think the type of fill that comes with the Big Joe would not dry and likely would mildew. I personally would not leave it outside. We have had it for 8 months and only now does it need some added fill. We all use it, my husband @ 280lbs and my son @ 55lbs. I believe it's good value for what you pay versus a Pottery Barn beanbag chair. Hope this helps!

I think they will be great!! Ours have only been up for about a month-we have them in our gazebo. It is all open. We love the shades. Good quality.

Yes, if they have some kind of covering. I have 2 outside in a wooden box on the deck. I wouldn't put them where its exposed to the elements.

Yes chairs are a resin wicker which is water proof but the cushions are "weather resistant". You cant consider them water proof unless they don't retain any water when fully submerged.

We live in Florida. It is far too humid to keep a metal stool outdoors. I wouldn't use these outdoors. They are wonderful but I think they would rust if they are exposed to rain.

I'm not a horticultural expert but I don't believe that will be the issue. Keeping then on will, a light breeze will blow them off if not secured well. I have found that if you leave them outside in the sun the UV rays in summer will destroy the fabric. I will near Sacramento and we get high heat.

They're pretty thick and plyable so they'd be OK for a long while. I think it'd be better in the shade tho

I think rain would ruin them. I bought bar chair covers and leave the stools covered except when using them.

have not tryed them outside but i would save doubtful - pretty sure any dampness would ruin them quickly. they are felt after all

Yes. I have them on my walkway, and they are fine. I set them out on my deck when I first got them, and to date, they have not absorbed any water. I have had mine for a year, and absolutely love them! I got compliments on them all the time.

No. They have microfiber seats on the chairs. But I suggest you purchase cushions because they can get dirty/stained easily.

My set is in a shaded area on my deck. It has not gotten to hot to sit in but it is warm. Hope that helps

That wouldn't be a problem at all. I wouldn't leave it outside 24/7 in the sun and everything for days on end, but I would see no problem with it being outside. In fact our deck chairs are a bit wider than our dining room table chairs, so it'd probably be even more stable(not that it's a problem at all tho!)

Actually I'm not sure. We have ours on a covered, but not enclosed outdoor porch. They have fared well through a very wet, cold winter in VT...but they are not directly exposed to rain, snow, etc.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

The cords are covered with a velvety material and might look dusty or dirty easily outside. I think they are intended for indoor use, but IF your patio really doesn't sustain much wind or weather, they would possibly survive (and look awesome)!

We've had the cushions for two summers and they've held up nicely. We have a covered deck, but keep them out all summer long. They are not the thickest cushions available, but they're not the most expensive either. I bought them for the price and the pattern.
