Im not sure who these armchair covers work best for, but they didnt work for me. They were on the floor more than they were on the chair because they came off with very little effort. They were frankly ugly, too, with a grid pattern and they are very thin. If they are meant to cover tears in fabric, they do that if you can keep them on the chair arm. They wouldnt be useful at all from protecting furniture from pet claws. In the end, I discarded them because they were more of an annoyance than a help in protecting the furniture.
