It is way better than I was expecting. It took a while to get it onto the couch, because there's extra material (my couch is on the shorter side of the size range listed). It's important to get the wrinkles out, because it goes from looking cheap to very nice with just a little extra attention. The material is also very soft. My dog loves it, and it's a big improvement from the old bedding we used. I'll likely get a second one and get the matching loveseat if it's available.
