I live in Canada.  I have a heavy duty cover to cover my planters, table and chairs for our snowy cold winter.  I purchased this for the summer to protect our wood table and wicker chairs from rain.  I think it will be fine for that purpose.  My 3 star rating is due to the rope system which is on the outside of the cover and the lack of grommets (two at each corner).  I have McGuivered the rope system by turning up the hem and sewing a new hem with a channel for the rope to feed through.  It took a long time to feed the rope through (made my channel too small and the material is hard).  Got it on sale, otherwise, I would have returned it.
