Great slipcover, makes old couches look brand new!
I ordered two slipcovers, both the same, one couch sized and one loveseat sized. Both are the chocolate color. I have had these couches for almost 10 years. We bought them while stationed in Japan, we now live in Texas, so these couches have been all over the globe! They were originally blue in color, and have stood up except for the fabric. 3 kids, 2 dogs a cat and a ferret can be very hard on a couch. The color no longer matched the living decor. Buying new couches were too expensive right now so we decided to order these slipcover. I paid about !20 for both, around $60-62 each cover. It is very very soft, I am a bit worried about it fuzzing up over time, but we will see. Extremely stretchy, I have a very large sofa, it has huge arms and I was worried this might not fit, but it worked like a champ! It fits very snugly around the arms and back. It very easy to install, one person can do it by themselves. The cushions are not as easy as the video shows. I had two very large bottom cushions and it can get a little tricky trying to put the entire bottom piece in as one piece. You do still see the crease in the middle of the cushions. You could take the excess from the cushion cover and make it look like 2 or 3 cushions instead of one long one. The hem does not hang evenly, at least not for me. In the back it tends to ride up about 2 inches off the floor because there is nothing to tuck it into to keep it in place. Now if your couch is against the wall, this won't be a problem and its really not that noticeable. The reason why I gave it 4 stars out of 5 is because it has paper tags on the arms, back and seat, which you rip off. These tags are intended to show you where that piece of the cover goes for example, arm, back, center and another arm. While these are handy, the thing is, they do not come completely out, they are actually sewn into the fabric, so you're stuck with white paper stuck in the seam (please see photos posted). Now, my anal retentive self cannot put up with this,s o I took a pair of tipped tweezers and dug it out piece by pirce until you couldn't see it anymore. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they did this. The only one (there are 4 tags in all) that rips clean is the on the seat where it meets the big white square. Your cushions go over this, so you won't see it anyway! Aside from that, I'm very very pleased, my couches look so good now and match the living room perfectly. I have attached several pictures, please feel free to see them. This is a great buy if you are on a tight budget and really want to give your furniture a face lift!
