I bought a furnished condo that had a clean, comfy basic sofa. I didn't love the color, so I bought this slipcover. It fits wonderfully and was easy to put on. The cream shade is a little on the dark side, almost tan. The pique texture is nice. Note that if you have any lumps and bumps, they will show through, because this cover is very form-fitting. Satisfied with this purchase and would buy in another color in the future.
