Is it okay for patio furniture to get wet?
Whether it's okay for patio furniture to get wet depends on the piece. Manufacturers often specify whether furniture is for outdoor or covered outdoor use. A true outdoor piece usually features materials that can withstand the effects of weather, including rain and sun exposure. Furniture designed for covered outdoor use may need to be kept dry to preserve it over time. Refer to the care instructions included with your furniture to find out if a particular item can safely get wet. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of patio furniture.
