I have 3 greyhounds of my own and currently 3 fosters, so 6 large dogs at my house. Some get on the furniture and some don't, so I needed something to protect the furniture and still look presentable when company comes over.  This fit that bill.  Obviously, you can tell that I have slipcovers on my couch and chair, but it looks nice and these wash up great.  This really fit the bill for what I needed.
