Duck Covers Patio Chair Cover, Sofa Cover and Loveseat Cover all Purchased May 10, 2017. San Diego back yard, south facing with afternoon sun. Furniture sits under an aluminum patio cover (pergola), so partial sun in early-mid afternoon and full sun mid-late afternoon once it drops below the pergola roof line. One year later, the covers are highly faded, look like they're 10 years old. The fading mostly occurred in the first 6 months. They haven't cracked, or otherwise disintegrated yet, so they are still doing their primary duty. However, it's quite clear these do not stand up to a San Diego sun's UV rays as advertised. Very disappointed in these, especially for the high price. While it's true I can probably keep using these for another year or maybe more, it comes at a price of looking like an abandoned piece of furniture in an open field. Horrible. I'm giving it 2 stars only because thankfully, they have maintained their mechanical qualities so far. The cover in the middle of the group was purchased only a few months ago and is one step down from the Ultimatesl. So far it hasn't faded like the Ultimates.

A sturdy, good looking cover. Looks just like the illustration. Heavy duty canvas-like material. Appears to be well made, but I just bought it. It has sewn seams which I think hold up much better than "fused" seams, where the pieces are heated and melted together. I don't know if it is waterproof (no rain). However (and this has nothing to do with the chair cover itself) Amazon appears to be coding their software to squeeze a few extra dollars out of customers. The first time I looked at this cover, it had a very attractive price. I then looked at other covers, but when I came back to this cover about ten minutes later, the price had gone up. This is the third time this has happened to me on Amazon. At first, I thought I was just unlucky and was in the middle of a price change. Now I think it is an intentional trick. I think Amazon figured out that if you come back to something you already looked at, you've probably decided to buy it, and a slightly higher price won't deter you. I hope I'm wrong. I don't like dirty tricks.

These covers are really great so far! We had limited choices due to the dimensions of our outdoor furniture but this brand turned out to be the highest rated anyway and so far they are performing very well. The covers are nice and thick (canvas outer layer and a softer waterproof inner layer) and definitely repel water as claimed. Initially I was hoping to find covers in a lighter brown or gray color, but once these arrived I realized how nicely they blend in with the yard and are actually relatively attractive. I am, however, concerned with fading due to the dark color but as long as they keep my furniture dry it ultimately doesn't matter. The straps and buckles are an amazing addition to have because we live in a very windy area and we don't have to worry about the covers blowing off. The elastic drawstring cinch doesn't add anything in our case because the depth of the covers is several inches deeper than our furniture but it's nice to help anyway. We were able to flip our patio coffee table over and store it underneath the loveseat cover rather than buying a separate cover for it. We're very pleased with the quality and the price is excellent!

The Duck covers are sturdy, good looking, stay put in windy conditions and keep my patio items protected, clean and dry! I'm very impressed that the covers have the means to ensure they stay in place, even in the harshest weather and have not faded this summer. I've purchased other covers from other manufactures, but this set is truly heavy duty and working much better for our needs. My patio items have been pampered so well, I'm almost looking forward to winter.

FANTASTIC, strong and very good water repellent qualities!! I don't normally review things, but this product deserves it! We are one of the families who just went through the "Dirty side" of hurricane Harvey! We sustained high winds and rains for 5 days (almost 30" of water in my area). I would see our patio furniture and the covers flapping, shaking and completely wet and wondered what it'd look like after (wet, mildew, etc?). Today's the first day we get sunshine. I went to check the patio stuff, uncovered the furniture, and EVERYTHING WAS DRY! Not a spot, no mildew, no smell of humidity! I would buy these covers again!
