I absolutely LOVE this cover and the BRAND. I have this table/chair cover and also the Chaise Lounge by DUCK COVERS. The fabric is so thick, repels water, and there are plenty of straps to hold the cover down. Before the winter started here in Minnesota, the rain hstood no chance against these covers, it basically jumps off. The snow has come now and obviously it is sticking to cover, but I have no doubts the snow isn't getting through. I was a little nervous to spend so much money on a table cover, but I am happy I did absolutely worth the money. If you live in a state with a lot of rain, snow, or sunshine, this is a cover for you. It would protect against the sun as well, very thick. It was easy to put on, I did it alone. I do wish the sinch around the diameter of the bottom, would sinch up tighter, but it is not a huge deal. Also, I did have to buy a bigger size, because I was in between sizes. However, this product still gets an A+!
