I LOVE this slipcover! I was a bit doubful, but took a chance and very glad I did. Although the fabric is on the thin, stretchy side, the faux crackled leatherish styling looks great, has worn very well and transformed my tapestry print covered couch into a brand-new looking piece for much less than the cost of professional recovering. The color is darker than pictured, and compliments any color/print accessories (pillows, throws). I haven't yet had to wash it, just a few spot cleanups have been needed. Very easy to install, fit and adjust; no crazy wrestling or acrobatics needed!
