Having only had 1-piece draped kind of slipcovers that constantly come untucked, I never thought a slipcover could look right until I tried these. The fabric is thick and the corduroy texture is very comfortable. I covered two full size, yet different style, 15-year old sofas with the brown slipcovers. One of the sofas has two seat cushions and two non-attached pillow backs. The other has a fixed back and three cushions. Not only did the slipcover fit beautifully on both, it unified them in a way I hadn't expected. I ordered the brown with some reservation, since browns can tend towards gold/camel or red/rust. I was delighted that neither of these was the case. This brown is more taupe, definitely a true neutral that works well with both warmer or cooler color schemes. My comfortable sofas look brand-new, and the fit is as close to custom as you can get. 2016 update: Three-plus years later and still look great. They've been washed many times. Definitely the better option over throw-style slipcovers.
