The beach chair cover comes by mail directly to the storage-I find very convenient. You take good care of our basket and even after prolonged non-airing for holiday it is not musty topsy everything is dry. The original color, which we liked, however, is already after 3 weeks rather bleached (now rather anthracite-violet), at the places where the sun shines on it. But that fits on the other hand very well with the hydrangeas that stand by. It also is supposed to keep the rain and it does! The fabric also makes a robust impression, and so we hope that this is a more durable product, as it was the predecessor (woven fabric that mach was a summer scrap).
