Gone are the days of the hideous and ill-fitting floral slipcovers - this cover looks elegant, plush, and beautiful The elastic bands in strategic locations throughout the cover pieces help hold them in place. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 only because the covers occasionally slip out of the cracks of the chair and need to be re-tucked, but that is almost inevitable with any type of cover. Would highly recommend, especially for the very reasonable price, and would certainly buy again.
