I wanted something to cover the sofa for when I have my movie nights and I’m eating chips + salsa and all that. I also have family dogs come over from time to time so this would be really handy! I do wish the bottom part was a little longer. My sofa is fairly short but needed the arms to match up so I can not pull from the top part of the sofa. The item was packaged very well when it was delivered but does have a terrible plastic odor to it. I like the print on this as a lot. I wish it was made of cotton but what can you do. For the price, I’m happy.
