Here is a picture of my Baldwin Chair taken after a good February snow. This is all season furniture. You can leave it out all year long. Cedar is naturally rot resistant and bugs do not like to eat it.
Cedar can be left outdoors without maintenance for many years without any problems. This is fine if you want the furniture to turn grey.
I have always wished for a product you could apply once a year that would keep the wood looking like new. I tried all the available products and was steadily disappointed. Then I found Olympic Maximum. It is the closest thing to my dream as I have found. If you would like the furniture to retain it's color and texture then you should apply a maintenance coat once a year. It goes on very fast and easy.
