Query: Not a good choice

Bought in April '09. In less than a year, I noticed yesterday that the top is dry rotted and ripped. It has been in the NJ elements for 10 months, but I would have expected a longer life than this. Also, it is water repellent, not water proof. I often found my chair pillows very wet after rain. My next cover will be more of a plastic type than this cloth material. This seems to be a better cover if your chairs will be in the garage - or at least under an awning or in the shade.
