The chairs on a covered patio in Colorado. During winter months can you sit in the chair with the cover on? or how easy are they to take on and off?

I suppose you could sit in the chair with the cover on it however, they are very easy to take off and put back on.

The cover is easy to take on and off. It has a drawstring along the bottom edge you can tighten or loosen and just pull the cover off. I am not using it for a high back chair so I am not sure how snugly it fits over the chair. This might be the key as to whether you could sit on them or not.

Hi. Since the covers are oversized for my chairs, if they are tied loose enough you can sit in the chairs with the covers on. However, the covers are very easy to take off and put back on. I love the protection they provide. Good luck and enjoy. They are well worth the money!

You can't sit on them in the cover they dont fit that form specific... They are easy but Im guessing when its cold they will be stiffer and more prone to ripping..

In the box - there is a warranty - I believe it is a year. The screws provided are weather-proofed. We live in a 4-season region and so far so good. We did buy covers (on amazon) to protect our chairs in the winter. We've had these chairs for about 8 months now and look like when I first put them together. Hope this helps.

Yes. Just so you know, one of the best purchases we have made. Our furniture still looks brand new. We put the covers on whenever a chance of rain or snow!

I concur with Joel. The chairs are fine for outside temporarily, but the joints will rust.

I have not yet looked into covers for my Strathwood-Griffen furniture yet. I have had it through one summer/fall and winter in Colorado. I draped it with some old blankets even though it was stored on a covered patio. I have rinsed off the furniture sans cushions and it dries well. The dirt that blows onto the cushions during windy days comes off easily with a gentle smacking. I did spray Scotchguard on the cushions when I first got them which probably helps. I have looked into covers through Plow & Hearth and Gardener's but haven't ordered yet.

They do not zip up. It is exposed, however, I did not mind that too much. It did rain a bit on our first trip out with it but I did not find the ground under it too wet afterwards. Only the sides are mesh but I wouldn't consider it a "porch". We were not looking for a separate enclosure to sit in we have a Firstup for that. If you were wanting a spot to sit in it would likely only fit 1 chair and maybe a small table before getting in the way of the door. Hope that answers your question &#128522;

Not really. The cushions are so comfortable that I can't imagine why you would want to use these chairs without. They would be hard and cold to sit on but I guess if you compare them to other hard metal chairs...then perhaps you could say they are comfortable.

I don't know about snow. However, I have them in uncovered patio in Florida. They have gone through major rain, heat and cold (40 degrees) and still look as good as when I got them. My brother just purchased them after seeing my patio.

Our set is stored for the winter. However the chairs are very comfortable. Although we are 5'6" ... We have friends from 6' to 6'5" and they too were comfortable at the table. Hope this helps

The chair probably could be taken apart a few times before the wood would be overused and the screws might loosen. I have had this chair on my deck in New Mexico sun, and it has been a dream to use. I have a canvas cover for it and have noticed some fading on the wood that is constantly exposed. A good tung oil application will bring the chair back in the spring. Keep in mind we have 360 days of sun and I am at 5000 ft. It is a great buy for the price.

We live in Nebraska and we left the furniture outside over the winter. We left the cover on and it was fine. I will probably move it indoors next year (its super light and easy to move) to reduce wear and tear. However, it looks great this spring and seems quite durable.

I live near the coast of NJ and have had the chairs for several years now. I keep them outside and covered from End of Oct thru Mar/Apr. I have never had a problem.

Love the chair. I would not leave it out in the winter as there are screws that will rust.

we haven't had a chance to really lounge on them yet because it hasnt been warm enough but to me they seem pretty sturdy... putting it together took a long time but it wasn't hard or anything. I would say get some covers for them if they're going to sit out in the sun a lot- it's just a guess but i think they will fade and start to crack if the weather beats on them.

Well it's in the shed right now and there's a lot of ice and snow between me and the shed:) But as I recall it is a full wicker seat. I don't know how comfortable it would be - very hard due to the construction. Feel free to ask again in a couple of weeks!
