Our kindergarten age grandson lives with us and has a special affinity for our light-colored loveseat: builds ""forts"", eats snacks, takes naps, etc.. I tried the loose throws method while I searched for a tailored slipcover that would cover the back of the sofa as well as the front, and would not bunch up everywhere. Had to reposition the throws many times each day. This ""stretch leather"" cover is a soft fabric that looks slightly suede-like and does not collect pet hair as so many other stretch fabrics do. The light grey color has a slight blue hue. Covers the upholstery completely, and looks great. My loveseat has very skinny arms, so there is a bit of folding to be done there. But if yours has normal size arms, it should work fine and look completely tailored. Would happily buy this product again, assuming it holds up in the laundry the way it has on the furniture so far. Worth the price!
