I wish the manufacturers had taken the time to line up the stripes when making the rod pocket. I bought three of these and kept adjusting and swapping and flipping them upside down to find the best combination to get the stripes to line up at top. The first picture shows the best possible combination, which isn't great but also isn't bad enough for me to return them. The second picture shows how crooked the rod pocket seam is. The material is kind of cheap and plasticky but they were inexpensive so I can't complain too much. It's a pretty yellow.
