Doesn’t hold up to outdoor exposure

We loved the set when we got it, very elegant looking. Evidently it’s no match for Texas summers as after a year the wood is bleached and splotchy. Except for the legs and undersides it no longer retains its beautiful red color even with oil on it. Unfortunately we paid far more for it then it’s current going price and feel we could’ve done better with our $1200. The first photo posted is after it had been cleaned. The second photo is with oil applied. As you can see, not much difference. If anyone knows how to get back it’s original color please let me know!
