I have an old couch which is comfortable but shabbier than chic, if you know what I mean. I've tried 3 other slip covers and they were all a pain and pretty stupid looking. But this stretch cover is a small miracle. I got it it in a cobalt blue and it's really cute and makes the couch look almost like new. Wish I could post a photo, it's such an amazing transformation. I would buy a second one if it came in teal (or a hip b&w print?)
