This is the only slipcover that works with my furniture, decor, and energetic dog. Her nails don't go through and rip the fabric the way they do with other slipcovers. I love the look on my furniture--it adds to the relaxed, cozy look of the room and the light color brightens things up. When the dog gets the fabric a little grimy, some Borax in the washer brightens it right back up and keeps it new-looking. I just wish the matching chair slipcover were still available--I really need a new one after many years of use!!
