I didn't measure and think I ordered too big. It doesn't matter, I am still thrilled with this cover. We have cats, dogs and a pet door and I'm sure our pets get on the couch and in the chairs when we are gone. Once I came home and found wet paw prints all over the slipcover. I could only imagine what my recliner would have looked like had it not been for this waterproof cover! ( Be sure and measure your chair before buying one).
