I wanted a faux cowhide piece to protect my white leather sofa from my dogs. I didn’t want a throw because it would get moved around. I wanted something to sit on that would still be stylish and not look like a dog cover. I noticed another review on the site where someone mentioned that that’s exactly how they used this - to add style to a plain white sofa. ￼

Please note that this really is a printed felt piece. It doesn’t have a texture like an animal print. It looks nice pretty and classy. It’s very thin, but if I were using it as a rug, I would not be very happy. I would return it. But as a throw over the sofa - exactly what I wanted.
