Spring 2020 Update: After a moderate winter, the cover did the basic job of keeping debris out of the pool, But a couple wind storms ripped half a dozen grommets out of the cover and that allowed the tarp to develop long rips and worn spots. It was not salvageable for a pool cover, although I was able to cut it up in sections and use those to drag leaves to the street and cover some other smaller things... so not all was lost.
Overall, it will last only a year or two as a pool cover. But considering the price, I could buy a new one of these tarps every year for 20 years and still spend less than I would on a "real" pool cover.
Fall 2020:
Ordered a new one for this fall/winter. The only thing I would add is that the tarp’s grommets cannot take very much tension. If you are going to drape this over something and lightly secure it with rope or bungee cords it will do fine. But if you need to put any tension on the tarp or pull it tight, the grommets will start to pullout within minutes.
March (6.5 mos) later the cover completely shredded from the sides into our pool. Exposing our brand new liner we had installed two days before covering. I had to call a pool company in the middle of winter to fix this mess. Decided to call for a refund hope their warranty holds true.
Update: After contacting Amazon they told me I had to contact the Blue Wave company as the purchase was out of the 30 day window. I contacted Blue Wave and they will not refund my money they wanted to replace my cover with a new one. They told me to contact Amazon so again I did that and they said I had to send the defective cover back and they would send me a new cover with a 12% restocking fee (REALLY) the shredded cover was thrown out. I told them I just wanted my money refunded and NOPE not happening so please be aware your cover will fall apart and you will not get your money back. Apparently the WARRANTY is for a new cover not money from Amazon or the Blue Wave company RANT over.

Seems a little thin - but strong - I will update in spring to five stars if it makes it theough the winter :)
But the second one tore several places after just a few days. This is thinner than the cheapest tarp you can find, it's just a very thin material, a somewhat disposable one-season cover. The grommets are thin aluminum that you can just bend with your finger. And the fabric under the grommet isn't reinforced so they rip out easily.
Note: I had help unfolding the cover since it is large. I laid the cover out in the sun for a whole day to try and get rid of the creases that formed when the cover was packed. Instead of buying expensive water tubes, which all have received horrible reviews for their quality, I went to the nearby home improvement store and bought 10 of their 5-gallon buckets to use as the weight to hold down the cover. In order to minimize friction/damage to the cover, I cut out square pieces of 1-inch styrofoam and placed it between the cover and buckets.
