This slipcover solved a huge problem for me. I've been using large throws to protect my upholstery from dog and cat hair, as well as my dog's skin allergy problems.  She is not allowed on the sofa, but when I'm not home she is sneaking onto it.  I found out the hard way when she used her paws to remove the throw and proceeded to chew her backside raw, due to skin allergies.  I found traces of blood on my nice, off-white, sofa.  Thank goodness I ordered it in a Sunbrella fabric and was able to launder it using a bit of chlorine bleach to remove the bloodstains.  Yes, you can use chlorine bleach on any Sunbrella fabric.  Anyway, now I have a slipcover that she cannot remove with her paws.  It's also working out better than the throw for easy clean up of cat hair. Should have bought these years ago.  Great quality at an affordable price.
