I like the idea of a slipcover, but it did not work for my application. I'm not sure if it's due to the nature of the product or simply the nature of my chair size. Regardless, these type of slip covers are so hit or miss (I've had several in my lifetime) that ultimately, I'd say set aside a small chunk of money each month until you have enough to buy an actual slipcover chair/couch/whatever. The results are far better when the cover and furniture are made for each other.
