I suspect that these covers will need gentle handling. The fabric is very soft but thin and the zippers are flimsy. The color is not as expected. I ordered the soft gray lavender. They are a soft shade of lavender but I can’t find the gray. So they look too bright against my gray sofa and are too delicate for the wear they’ll receive in a family room. I was going to return them but my granddaughter liked them for her bedroom.
