After my goofy dog tore an unsightly hold in my new couch two years ago, I have been searching for a cover like this. I've tried several (cheaper) alternatives, but nothing looked nice...was terrible quality...and the dog would end up tearing it right off the couch. Getting rid of the dog isn't an option. And...new furniture will have to wait until Emma Sue goes to doggy heaven. So, in the interim, this cover is fabulous. It looks lovely. And, thanks to the generous length that flips over the back of the couch, my dog doesn't rip it off when she nestles up to enjoy her afternoon nap. I only gave 4 stars because it doesn't stay put as well as I'd like it to...but with small daily adjustments, it's fantastic!
