It doesn't need to be a warm storage, just somewhere that snow and slush can't get and soak the wood. The cold air alone doesn't do damage, but if the furniture is wet when it goes below zero it'll cause problems. And of course when it's really cold plastic parts get brittle and specially if the furniture is used then they might get damaged.
I prefer wood and steel, but there's nuances with those as well. Some cheap "wooden" furniture is made out something more like a sponge, but in the other hand we've used some cheap dining table as a garden table, just get one made with real wood and treat it properly and it'll last quite a few years.
