This is my 5th SureFit purchase in 20 years and I am just as pleased with this purchase as I was the first time. My oversized chair (52"" width) has never fit a chair slipcover, so I always have to go up to a love seat size which fit great. This particular cover ""almost"" stretches around the base, but the elastic holds it in place nicely. It will never have the streamlined look (at the bottom) as the catalogue pictures, but that's ok. As long as it fits and looks good, I'm happy! The seat cushion is about 28"" square, which just means that I had to tuck the separate cushion cover around to smooth it out. If I could sew, I'd probably find a way to fit it better, but since I don't, tucking worked. I don't have small kids or pets on and off that chair, so I'm not worried about it coming untucked. I love this cover, and I would definitely recommend it!
