Care
Using a mild soap and water is all that will be needed for regular care. Any Bleach product will damage the color of the material. If the cushions or pillows are wet, stand up on end to dry. If this set is left outside in freezing conditions in the winter, it is advised to make sure water has not accumulated in the frame. When the water freezes it will damage the frame beyond repair.
Some customers have stated that the cushions have faded very badly. This is over a period of years. If you have a place to store you cushions and pillows out of the weather they will last a lot longer. The other solution to fading is to get an outside furniture cover for your set.
If you need replacement cushions, pillows or Tempered Glass Top, customer service may be able to help you:1-877-877-1235. I did not find anybody offering replacement cushions for this collection, may need to see a local upholstery shop to get covers made. This is a good reason to store your cushions when not in use.

Nicely laid out website. I love enjoying the outdoors in the summer as in Minnesota it is such a short season. I wish I had the space to add on a larger deck and then add furniture.
Great ideas.

Sandra,
Even in the northern states you can have some outdoor time. I do have some furniture sets that are for smaller spaces, I just purchased a table and chairs that can be stored in a small space when not needed.

In your opinion, would this look tacky if used indoors? I have an empty room in the basement that I would like to use as a conversation room. Is there outdoor furniture, for a good price, that would pass as indoor furniture? I would love to have this set but I know that care is one of the most important things when it comes to to outdoor furniture. Love the website and good post.

Bret,
This can be used indoors without any trouble. Most outdoor furniture can be used indoors also. The good thing about it being indoors you will not have to worry about the fabric fading as some have noted. Wicker is a good product and look for indoor furniture.

Thanks for the great comment. I do have other items that are a lot cheaper on my site. This is the time of the year that most people are getting everything out of winter storage for their outdoor areas.

Surbhi,
The cushions are filled with a polyester material, it is not degradable. This set will last as long as you keep the cushions out of the weather.

I personally like this set. I have a swimming pool and just recently added a firepit area. I waited too long to finish and of course not it is hard to find a firepit…in stock at the store. But I also am looking for patio furniture. Is Better Homes & Gardens a good brand for this type of purchase. I have seen the name at WalMart before. Just wondering what type of quality you get as the price does suggest that it would be of a good quality. Thank you!

I have had good luck with this brand. Like any thing else, it will only last as long as you take care of it. The Resin Wicker will hold up well in most weather, it will fade over time if not protected from the sun. The cushions should be stored out of the weather for a longer life, a patio furniture cover or weather proof storage container is best.

Do you know were I can get replacement cushions for the better homes azalea set. I found one place online, but they are selling the whole cushion set to $389. For that I could buy a whole new set. I have only had this set a little over a year, and the love seat cushion is already going bad. Any help with this will be great.

Kevin,
The biggest complaint on this set is the lack of replacement cushions. The frames and resin wicker hold up very well. The fact that the back and seat cushions have a curved design will not let you use just any replacement cushions. I have been looking for two years to find a good replacement source. Like you I have not found one that is affordable. My suggestion is to look in your local area for someone that does sewing work. Buy material and have your cushions recovered, it may take a little leg work, it will save you money in the long run.
In most of my articles when I talk about cushions, I suggest that when not in use to store them so that they will last for a longer period of time. This is the only way cushions will last as long as the structure part of outdoor furniture.

The Azalea Ridge furniture has held up exceptionally well, but who stores their cushions for the winter in southern California? What winter. Over time the covers have deteriorated. There once was replacment covers available thru Walmart but long since discontinued. What a shame.

Avram,
There are some companies that will make cushions for this set, some will charge more than you purchased the complete set for. Check out some of the vendors on my site that make covers and cushions for the best online replacements.
