A friend wants some upholstered garden furniture which is genuinely
waterproof as she has nowhere to store it and it will stay outside all
year round. Any recommendations? I'm thinking wicker - or if real
wicker won't survive then synthetic wicker with waterproof cushions.
I'm told that anything which looks like plastic or resin won't be
welcome -- and that hardwoods are not affordable. TIA.

Waterproof covers which enclose the whole item can be bought, their use
means that any fabric and construction material can be chosen.
