I had an old armchair my mother bought in 1967. Although recovered, it looked ugly but is solid in shape. So, I bought these slipcovers, planning to give them a new look. I wasn't first sure whether they would like my chair or not because it is small with a T-cushion and also had an apron around the bottom. Luckily, the cover fit really well. It is easy to put on and is very stretchable. The fabric is more of fleece than velvet, which was an added bonus for me. Though, I am unsure of how long it will work.
