Finally- A Decent Looking Slipcover!
I know slipcovers. I've gone through more than a person ought to. I have kids and I have pets. They are both fairly destructive, so instead of buying nice new furniture that will only be destroyed in a few months' time- I buy slipcovers. I do not buy expensive ones. I know that logically expensive ones will probably look and fit better, but I cannot bring myself to spend the money, so I buy the nicest looking, most inexpensive ones I can. They are almost always ill fitting, or they fit well enough, but you still have to tuck, tuck, tuck every time someone gets up from sitting on the furniture. This is fine for a little while but becomes quite maddening over time. I don't want to be the mom that tells my kids to please get off the furniture because they will 'mess it all up'. If you can't sit on it, it's useless. I got this one based on the reviews and it does not disappoint. At this price this slipcover is a steal. The 2-piece is what makes it work. I have a t-cushion sofa so I was a little nervous it might not do the trick, but it fits so well. I had to work the seat cushions in a few times to get the piping to line up just right, but now it looks great and STAYS PUT. It is also very soft to sit on. I would love to get the matching chair slipcover to go with this but as I said before, I am cheap, and that is expensive. I am tempted, though! Just a note about slipcovers in general: If your furniture has good 'bones' just needs an update (or to cover tears made by naughty cats) then slipcovers are a great option. If your furniture cushions are saggy and springs are busted and what not, a slipcover will not improve your furniture. They can only do so much.
