The fabric is lighter weight than I expected. As an artist, I use cotton 'duck' dropcloths all the time and this fabric is perhaps *half* the weight of a cotton duck dropcloth. They are also very wrinkled and a run through the drier with a wet towel didn't help at all. I think to resolve the wrinkles you'd have to go to a laundromat where there are large driers and room for the covers to move around more freely than even my large home drier. On the plus side the arms fit well, the stitching is well-done and I'm hoping the covers (I bought two) will keep our homewrecker cat from further *ventilating* with holes and slashing our new imported leather sofas. Screaming at him, "You're the reason we can't have nice things!" hasn't worked, if the covers work I may up my stars!
