The two most important things you need to know about these covers - 1) they do not slide around. Seriously - the annoying thing about most slipcovers is, you put them on, you tuck them into place, you get them looking good, and then someone sits down on the furniture, and within 2 seconds, all your efforts are for naught. Not so with these. They really stay in place well 2) they are so soft and cuddly! They feel like your oldest, most comfortable and perfectly broken-in t-shirt. I didn't expect that!

As another reviewer stated, there is a lot of extra fabric sometimes....but it tucks in very easily, and probably helps in keeping the covers in place.

The pattern on the furniture I was covering was very intense. A bit of the shadow of the pattern can be seen, in certain light. However....it just makes it look like the pattern is lightly embossed on the fabric - like maybe it's meant to be that way, to enhance the look of the covers.

All in all, I am exceedingly pleased.
