The ol' man had this recliner that someone gave him and it really was looking sad,  I couldnt get him to part with it even though between him and his puppy it was dirty and thead bare on the arms.  So I choose this in a darker shade than the original upholstry and it looks so much better and he says the fabric is much more comfortable than what was on there.  his reclier is extra wide and this fit perfectly.  I would buy another one just so there is one to wash and one to use.  it doesn't slip or slide and stays put even after putting the footrest down, I just vaccumm the dog hairs and chip crumbs and it's good to go.
