I realize others have disparaged the thinness of the material, and I don't disagree with that - they are made of a fairly thin fabric - but to be fair, from the description, I didn't expect them to be of a heavy-grade fabric like, say, a coated cotten, or denim. The packaging did render them somewhat wrinkled when they arrived, however, after just taking them out and putting them on my chairs, the wrinkles fell out within a day or two, and I didn't have to iron them (heaven forbid - they'd STAY wrinkled - LOL!) I am using them on my outdoor (in a gazebo) Parsons-shape dining chairs and, quite simply, I love them! My chairs are a sage suede-like fabric, and they don't show through the covers, but I can see how they would, if you have a darker and/or harder (like leather) surface on your chairs. Hope this is helpful to potential purchasers!
