The ad does not indicate that this recliner calls for a cushion to be removed. My recliner does not have removable cushions. IT also shows that when the legs are up there is a approximately 2 ft of fabric hanging under the legs. I saw the instructions and visual image and did not unpack the package as this is not what I expected for. a recliner cover, the last one I bought from Mayfair had4 separate pieces and looked like the original upholstery when installed.
