Still need to adjust but, only once in a while, helps me get use out of covers. I bought the covers and didn't think the tuck once slipcover grips were needed. I was wrong and when I took off my slipcovers because they looked bad and put them away almost brand new, I later realized I needed the slipcover gripes. My big mistake was not buying them at the same time of my order. It adds to the cost but, its worth protecting the furniture and keeping it neat looking.
