Customer Rating: Summary: Cord is shedding white stuff...broken 2008-07-09 Comment: Bought for husband to replace cotton one that rotted away in only two years. The poly cord is shedding whitish stuff which means he won't use it anymore. So the "no rot" aspect has been trumped by the "ruins clothes and possibly toxic" problems. We've had it too long to return.
Also, had to return the first one because the stretcher bar had a crack all the way through. You would think they would have seen that.
UPDATE JULY 19, 2008: The replacement one has broken two ropes would have broken more if it's intended victim hadn't leaped for safety. After less then four months of use it is broken and useless. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.
