I bought these to protect my upholstered chairs from two toddler grandchildren who occasionally pop in for pizza. The covers are made of a nice, thick plastic and reach all the way to the floor. I did have to air them out in my garage for several days first because they came with a very strong chemical smell. They're now in my dining room and I tested one by having a meal sitting there and was very pleased - no discomfort from sitting on the plastic. Looking forward to more pizza nights with no worries about sauce on the chairs!
