I should have researched this one a bit more.  Its a slipcover, similar to a fitted sheet for bedding.  I purchased them to cover my outdoor patio furniture that got destroyed by my dogs.  It will do I guess, it hides the holes.  I was initially worried as it looks like a cheaper pleather but surprisingly looks okay as it matches the furniture quite well! 
On a side note,  I did need to air out the slipcovers - they have a weird smell -reason to 4/5 rating.
