I'm really happy with this purchase. It really hugs my furniture so it does look like I had my sofa reupholstered at a tiny fraction of the cost. The red color is a little darker than I had anticipated, more of a maroon color, but I found lighter throw pillows that coordinate well so that brightens it up a bit. I also bought the suede finish recliner slipcover in the color ""cement"" which is light and is a good lighted contrast to the sofa. I'm very happy with that purchase as well.
