We took the clear plastic covers off of my grandmother's furniture after 20+ years, and the cloth and cushions fell apart to dust on exposure to the air a few days later from dry rot.....

I think that furniture needs a ceramic coating as well for extra protection!

As I say to people who use car covers, it's easy to love something to death. Grit/dirt gets under outdoor car covers, and the wind blowing the cover works like sandpaper. Plus, they trap moisture under them like a terrarium.

...or sat on one wearing shorts and had your thighs stick to the plastic. Even worse than 1970's vinyl car seats, if that's possible.....

I suppose it depends on the material of the car cover and the conditions in which one uses a cover. Not all car covers are the same.

Organ in our house. No idea why my folks bought it. My aunt had one, so maybe Mom felt pressured to buy one. Or maybe my aunt gave it to us. I was too young when we got it to remember how it came about.
