I really loved this item when I saw it online and once I received them (order 1 sofa and 1 love seat).  However, once I put them on, my opinion changed a bit.  First, those ties are a pain in the side because they tighten up if the covers move in any direction.  I ended cutting them off which made them drape and I liked that look better.  Second, if I could I would remove the elastic that is supposed to be centered in the back for a "better fit".  Didn't work for me because the portion of the cover that sits towards the back of the sofa, keeps sliding out because of the elastic.  It won't stay put when tucked behind the cushion.  I have a T-sofa and love seat - to give you an idea of the fit.  Overall, I only kept them because they will do for now.
