Cast aluminum is indestructible and can be left uncovered for the winter. We purchased two sets of tables and chairs in 2005 and they look almost brand new. A quick wash in the spring is all they need. Also, they don't get hot in direct sunlight, which is an issue with poly wood. Expensive for sure, but a one time purchase that puts time back into your pocket.
