I love the highly quilted texture of this chair cover.  It is cream background, light and denim blue, rose, pink, and lemon yellow.  I washed it before using and it now has a nice, soft feel.  I would not consider this for a recliner, but it works very well for a side chair.  It covers the arms past the ends on my newly-upholstered chair, which my dog loves to jump up on when she comes in from outside.  This chair cover does a much better job than the first one I had in keeping all of the upholstery covered.  When company comes and I want to uncover the chair, I can easily fold the top down, bottom up, and sides in and pull off any dirt or dog hair, revealing my clean, newly upholstered MCM side chair.  It is well-made and it laundered well.
