We bought this to cover our patio table and chairs, all together. The chairs have a high back, so the middle sags and water collects. We're concerned that the tie downs will tear off, or the cover itself will tear. We will go out to "drain" it before it fills up too much, which is not ideal. Have considered putting hole in the middle, but that kind defeats the purpose of a cover. Also, would like for the tie downs to be easier to use, like with a Velcro closure. We do like the feel and weight of it, and so far, does not look dirty.
