The size of the material is great to cover the entire lounge chair and the design assures it to stay in place, the construction of the trim seems sturdy however the material is not like a regular towel it's a very thin terry cloth that basically provides cover for the surface of the chair however is not very useful for absorbency after a swim. I would still recommend it because the price point is very good and it's nice to have the entire chair covered without having to utilize two towels.
