I have bought these furniture covers for the past few years, already replacing the originals. I'm very satisfied with the quality of them: the weight of the canvas is good; the water resistant inner coating keeps the furniture dry except in a really soaking rain; the color (though it changes from order to order) is neutral; the fit is well designed and true to the item description; the clips on two legs secure the covers on all but very, very windy days. The drawstring along the bottom is intended to improve the fit but I find it very difficult to manipulate and I usually only adjust it by a few inches. I leave the covers on in the summer--to keep the furniture dry between uses and to protect the cushions from sun and dirt--and in the winter to protect the furniture frames. Perhaps this is asking too much. Northeast weather has swung dramatically in the past couple of years and the covers took a beating. They tore under the weight of melting snow and from wind or the heat of the summer sun and I had to replace several of them after about three years. Nevertheless, I find the price moderate enough and I like the look of them so I have simply ordered more.
I'm duplicating this for three different purchases-chairs, sofa, and table. Here's the thing. We bought these to protect the chairs, sofa, and mostly the fabric cushions. After a couple of big rainstorms, we've discovered that in the wind, these become big sails and cause the lightweight furniture to blow around. One chair travelled a good 50 feet and barely stopped short of blowing into the swimming pool. One other cover blew off, and the (white) seat cushion turned up in a flower bed across the yard. In the end, we got storage boxes for the cushions, put the covers in the attic, and the bare chairs, sofa, and table are open enough that the wind blows through them. If/when the chairs get dirty, we'll just hose them off. The covers are not worth the trouble - for us, anyway. As I said, very nice, high quality, heavy duty covers. We just don't need them.
I had purchased a patio fan cover from this vendor which was incredibly well made and fit perfect. That is why I purchased this additional cover for my patio love seat. Well made seams with clasps to easily cover and secure over my love seat. Even n very severe winds the cover remained on my love seat and did not pull up at all. Definitely recommend this product and will be buying more from this vendor as I need them.
08/12/2018 - awesome product! We have had several windy rain storms and this cover stayed on secure and kept everything dry. Will be buying more covers from them in the future as I need them.
Update: I returned the small cover (see below). and repurchased one that shipped from Amazon. Much better quality than the cover from the other seller referenced below. Now a straight up 4 star rating. Very happy with ease of return process.
Initial Review: I bought this two of these (in medium) to cover two sets of three outdoor dining chairs. Very happy with the weight of the fabric and the size was as described (4 if not 5 stars). I also bought a small to cover the remaining two chairs (I have an eight chairs in total) from another seller on Amazon (all on the same order) and while the size was true, the fabric was not even close to the fabric on the medium (maybe a 2 star rating in comparison to the medium). And allegedly, the covers were from the same manufacturer. Don’t know if that’s true because, besides the fabric quality difference between the medium and the small, the packaging that the small was wrapped in was clear plastic. The mediums were in packaging with the manufacturer’s name prominently displayed. So quite happy with the medium sold by Amazon. Disappointed with the small sold by Regal Living.
Amongst the best outdoor furniture covers you can buy. Well-constructed nylon/canvas outer cover and plastic inner material makes these waterproof and durable. I purchased for five pieces of outdoor furniture and after five years, only 2
of them have developed rip/tears. I live in Colorado, which does experience 4 seasons. Additionally, they have side panels which allows air circulation, they can snug at the bottom to prevent blowing away, and in my opinion, these covers are attractive as well. Finally, I remember cost as being very reasonable.

These covers are simply perfect and priced right. They're thick and sturdy so I'm not sure why you'd spend more on other covers. I bought one for the BBQ pit and loved it so much that I bought six others for all of our outdoor furniture. It was so much easier than having to power wash every time friends and family come over. Now I just pull the covers off and we're ready to rock.
Just make sure there's no sag when you put them on. Because they're so waterproof, the rain water will pool in the sagged portions. Try to pull them nice and tight.
If there is a negative about these covers is that they don't come in more sizes. The construction and design of all veranda covers are superb.
7/25/14 update: We have had these for about 1 year. They were out in the weather until about October when the patio furniture was all placed under the carport. They were taken out of this storage in April; and the ones that are in the sun are now getting tears in them.
So for us in NorCal, they last probably 2 seasons...the failing ones have gorilla tape on the tears.
These are not abused, they usually just cover the furniture; so that's not an issue.
The ones that are under a sun screened pergola do not have any tears yet; so it's the sun exposure that's the cause.
These covers are fantastic! We live in a very windy area of AZ that gets a lot of dust storms. I bought 3 of these covers to cover my new furniture 1 year ago. All have held up well until this last storm. The largest couch cover got a giant rip in it from one side to the other. The warranty didn't cover it, so I threw it in the trash and bought another identical cover. It would be nice for the cover to last longer than 1 year, but the other two covers lasted so I think it was just a really bad storm that caused a lot of damage. Not the covers fault. I recommend this brand highly! Reasonable prices and good quality.
Very happy with these covers. They weren't expensive so didn't anticipate how well made they are. The fabric is heavy; the bottom has an elastic pull cord to tighten the cover so it doesn't come off in the breeze. The best thing is the short, buckled stay. It's only made for one leg... but it makes it easy to flip the cover off and stuff under the chair or loveseat. When ready to recover, the buckled stay around the one leg makes reorienting the cover a quick exercise.
Works great! There are two clip straps and a cinch cord to hold the cover on in windy conditions. We struggled to find an outdoor bin large enough for all of our cushions and opted to cover the furniture instead. I just roll up our rugs and lay them on the love seat before I put on the cover. I store the covers in a bin under the love seat when we aren't using them. The quality seems really good. and the price was great.
