The material is a good heavyweight tight weave cotton that feels durable enough to put up with the frequent use it will get from my children. The color of the cover I received is a little darker than the one shown which appeared to be a cornflower blue on my computer. We didn't notice the enclosed instructions until after we put the cover on, and still it was easy to figure out the proper alignment. My couch is 89" x 36" x 33" and it was plenty big without looking too large. My couch has overly large arm rests and back pillows, and it accommodated them fine. I recommend purchasing this product. I think the material is durable enough to last many years. I do plan to spray it with a Scotchguard type fabric protector.

Pros: Color, durable, fit, ease of use, washable
Cons: Color darker than it appears on screen
