Question about those cheap patio furniture covers on Amazon

I bought a 3 pack of patio furniture covers for $25 back in March. After two rainstorms they were cracked and torn, basically useless. The material felt like thin plastic garbage bags right out of the package. Did I just get unlucky or are all the budget covers this bad? Anyone found a decent one that lasts more than a season?

Got the same cheap ones and they fell apart on me too. Ended up buying a mid-range one from a local hardware store for like $40. Still going strong after two winters. Spend a little more up front and save yourself the hassle.

@jessica_robinson23 I get why you'd say that, but I actually disagree. I bought those same cheap 3 packs twice and both times they lasted over a year for me. Maybe I got lucky with the weather or something, but mine didn't crack until like 14 months in. The key was putting them on tight so they didn't flap around in the wind. I think a lot of people expect too much from a $25 3 pack, it's just not realistic. The cheap ones work fine if you set them up right and dont leave them loose.
