I bought these to protect my nice light-colored sofas during family entertaining.  These worked.  Grandpa spilled wine on them, kids got dirty shoes on them, sofas underneath were untouched, AND bonus - everything washed out of the slipcovers!  I bought the natural.  Drawbacks: they need ironing prior to each use (even from just being folded in the cupboard), and they are a fairly time-consuming to put on if you want them to fit properly and look nice.  That being said, I'm glad I have them and the price was fantastic.  They are a good basic design - they're not going to look like custom [...] slipcovered furniture, but I wasn't expecting that so I'm happy.  We have an upscale, professionally decorated house and these are just fine for us to protect our couches during entertaining.  Definintely recommend them.
