It did the trick. I needed to protect my outside furniture from light construction splatter and it does that. There's a thin cord on the bottom intended to be tightened around the bottom, with a spring adjustable toggle. However, be the spring isn't strong enough and it doesn't work. I just tuck it under the furniture. It's only just better than a tarp, because it comes down on the sides of the furniture nicely and not loose like a tarp. Covers the "Aida 6 piece Rattan sectional set" (from wayfair), an extra table and stools with room to spare.
