Despite the fact that I am 86 years old and have some mobility problems I was able to put this slipcover on my recliner. it took me awhile to figure out which was the back and which covered the footstool part. It would help if on the elastic binding  top and bottom were identified. But, I did it! I like it so much more than  the cover I had before. I thought I was going to have to cut the fabric so that I could use the mechanism that allows me to put the recliner into different positions. To my delight I can feel those buttons through the fabric so I don’t have to make a hole in the fabric. The description of this cover online says it is machine washable but says nothing about whether it can go in the dryer. I am not sure it should go in the dryer. I probably won’t put it in the dryer.
