How does this compare in quality with the original cover?

I've seen no difference in quality between the original and the replacement.

The fit was actually better than the original. the weight of fabric was slightly thinner. This was the second cover we ordered as the first from another company was cheaply made and was incorrect dimensions. the mesh screen is nice. the best part was Amazon's return policy. I would order same one again.

Actually its lighter, and more wind resistant, I am actually impressed. all measurements are correct, and install was relatively easy.

It does not have the two tone flaps like the original, It seems quite sturdy and fits snug, I am happy with it. Only negative was the price. It does come with the fabric for the very top also. No screen.

I was surprised when I replaced the new cover. The quality is better than the original

The material is lighter in color, but the ripstop material seems much more durable. Fit was perfect. Tip: Make sure to remove the "pop-up" part of the gazebo when you put the main cover on. Definitely worth doing if the metal is in good shape.

Honestly don't know. When we received the cover the quality was less than acceptable. Never used it and returned it for a full refund. The customer service was great in lieu of the quality.

Hi Patrick I have this cover and it has been out in the snow and sun and still looks great. It is a great quality cover and I am very happy with it

Yes we found it to be thicker than any in past and secures much better. We have also had them rip due to high wind - in fact we are in such a windy location, we've had a tree break and we have to keep our grill chained down.So far this cover is much better than past covers- in perfect condition

I am not sure what the difference would be but I believe that the material used to construct the cover shown here may be better than the original cover that came with my swing. It is a tight fit but it seems to be holding up well and is virtually exposed to intense sunlight every day as I live in South East New Mexico. When I purchase another cover it will be this same cover from Sonoma. It has held up extremely well to 60 mph wind gust. My entire swing was blown over earlier this year and there was no tearing or ripping of the cover which is now almost 3 years old. I hope this is helpful.

It depends upon which one you end up with. I have 2 of these. On one, the tab that is on the cover broke off after a few months. On my newer one, the tab is fine and it fits well.

The quality of this replacement top is great. Far better than the original. I didn't know the #s either, just visually compared the parts. Fits perfect.

The smudge proof protectors does have a matte finish and comparing it to the original, the original is more shiny and thick. I don't personally care too much for the original because it is very shiny in my opinion

My replacement has lasted in Florida sun for over a yr now and looks better than then the original did so far. I was concerned also when I saw the material but its proven to he strong and weather resistant to full sun. There was nothing else available except for 4x the price and I'm sure the color still would mismatch my original sun faded cushion and pillows.

Yes. It's better than the original. Looks nicer with the chrome ring on the edge of the lid.

yes that is what I have. These are the best quality covers I have had. Worth the extra money.

This top is at least as thick as the one it replaced. I do not know if my old top was original (it did have a zippered rear window) but this replacement seems to be holding up fine here in sunny Las Vegas :-) . I agree that the glass rear window is well worth the few extra $$.

Forgot to mention, love the cover. Looks great. I haven't seen another cover out there that I would trade mine for. Hope all this helps.

I do believe that it is imitation, but it is holding up well, very nice cover. Daniel

Not sure. Maybe...because the new one did seem to fit more secure. I was very happy that it looked as good or better than the original. I think the new one even was a heavier/more dense plastic. I would recommend it.

The cover is steel as opposed to TWS aluminum cover so its much more durable. I own both and both hold zero the same as far as I can tell. Fitting was simple.

I bought the cover for my Honda mower which is a walk behind. The cover was used to replace the original cover which was bleached by the sun, brittle and shrunken. The cover seems identical in construction, material & size to the old one. They both completely cover the mower (back handle, sides engine) EXCEPT for the front wheels (neither was long enough - 3 more inches would have been great), but considering the price & availability I got it.
