The sizing is wonderfully generous on this and if you don't require a side table, it's great to have the three pockets on both sides.  My one wish is that it would have had a waterproof backing on it, which is why I gave it a four instead of a five.  I have not yet washed it, so can't comment on that except to say that I expect it will be fine on a gentle cycle in cold water - hang to dry, as I have had experience with another type of cover like it in the past and that is how it was laundered.  Update:  The straps on this have a little clip that attaches to a bit of an elastic sleeve, but this does not stay in place if you are adjusting the back, as the clip remains opened and can slide out of the sleeve.  It would be much better if the elastic was attached to the actual slipcover.  The slipcover will move as one uses the chair, so this is something that can become annoying.  I am therefore reducing my review from a 4 to a 3.
