I hated the pattern on the recliner we 'inherited' from my mom-in-law when it wouldn't fit in her new apartment.  I hated looking at it day in and day out, yet it's the chair she wanted to sit in when she'd come see us.  I didn't have high hopes for the cover, but just figured it couldn't look worse, so gave it a shot when the 'flash sale' hit last week.  I'm VERY pleasantly surprised at how nice it looks!  Fits great, looks great and the chair's not an embarrassment now. Very happy with it!
