My couch was in good shape except for the tired looking upholstery fabric. I bought the cream coloured covers, with individual seat covers, for my couch and loveseat and am SO pleased with the fresh look of my living room. The couch cover fits more snugly and looks better. I didn't need the tuck once grips on either the couch or loveseat and they stay in place perfectly. Returning the tuck once grips.
