We have ordered directly from four cases and three of them turned into protective covers for our banks. The fact that they do not fall directly to the ground, always some wind comes under it and it does not begin to sweat! All four Cases have (so far) more rain and storm survived without the sun and the benches have become wet. But you have already firmly bind to the eyes as they fly otherwise. I do not know if it is coincidence, but all four cases are definitely not anthracite but more a kaki-green (very easy to recognize, because our furniture is gray in color). For our taste, however, even more beautiful because they adapt to the garden and not attract attention when rausschauen so. We now hope that they hold at least two winters for the price - previously strong buy recommendation!
