Review on πŸͺ‘ Protective Dark Gray Ottoman Cover with Elastic Bottom for Easy Storage - Easy-Going Stretch Ottoman Cover Folding Storage Stool Furniture Protector by Christine Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Has good elasticity but appears to have less "memory " when folded out of the box.

I recently swapped out my everyday leather furniture from the common room for the seldom used fabric furniture I bought for my living room, as the years have made it harder for me to put leather on and off at set times . to his lower seating position. As I have dogs I wanted a nice cover to protect the fabric furniture that I will be using more often with covers that look like real furniture not just curtains. I saw these covers and the color was very close to the original color of the furniture and the size and the ability to have a separate pillowcase along with the ottoman cover made me give it a try. My fabric furniture now consists of separate seat cushions and separate cushions/back cushions, so it's a bit fluffy. The arms are not huge at all and fit snugly on the frame. The case was very cheap. When I opened the package I was pleased with the quality of the fabric and its elasticity. However, once all of my furniture was covered, the rubber band seemed to have a memory of its own and was about to start shrinking to a smaller size, with the rubber band pulling up around the bottom far enough to reveal the real furniture underneath. This can be solved by using tin rubber bands on the underside, but I would need a lot more for a sofa, which leads to additional costs and problems that I am not happy with. SOFA: The microfiber cover on the sofa was already starting to stretch, most likely because one of my dogs was chewing on toys that tend to get rough, but I was disappointed that it snagged so easily, especially on furniture that uses a lot of it will benefit . I'll try to fix this by pulling the tab and tying the bottom while simultaneously taking the lid off (I wasn't expecting this, especially with all the elastics I have to attach to the bottom to keep the bottom rubber band this does not pop up). CHAIR: The microfiber cover of the chair has the same problems with the bottom elastic. Like the sofa, this cover set has a separate cover for the seat cushion and a single cover for the rest of the chair, ie it covers the chair (no cushion). After covering the chair I covered the cushion and had to try and pull up the bottom of the cushion/back cushion to fit the seat cushion onto the frame. As the cover stretches, it keeps pushing the seat cushion backwards, so I had to try and pull the back cushions up until I could get enough stretch to hold the seat in place. At this point the rest of the cover started to move so it took some time and patience but I was able to cover the chair to the point where it was acceptable then the bottom elastic started to move up so do i need to buy more sheets now elastic straps to hold this cover up. OTTOMAN: This cover was not smooth microfiber but with a rectangular pattern. My ottoman's dimensions fit well within its spec range, but I'm having the same issue again with the bottom elastic wanting to lift, requiring me to buy sheets again. VERDICT: I think the dimensions are a bit wrong. about what they say in their specifications and what you actually have to work with. If I had bought the next size up I would have had too much fabric and length as I had already bought a larger size than recommended for the sofa and chair and as I said my ottoman measurements were in the middle of their specs. As I was already having trouble fitting these covers and couldn't find anything else on the market available for what I was looking for I decided to make do with these and hopefully over time they will start to stretch and to match my furniture much better. I can live with seeing about 1/2" down between where the elastic straps hold the covers in place. I'll keep adjusting to finally get things right. I recommend tentatively and suggest suggest ordering the next size up what their specs say unless you I have a regular modern style sofa with very little frame my furniture is very similar to the photos except the armrests are not rounded but in one square shape fit snugly against the frame and still want to pull the covers in. It costs me a lot of hassle to return them as it's over 30 days or close to At least it protects my furniture better with people and dogs sitting on it than without them so I'm hoping to get more years of real furniture.Also all the colors of the microfiber fabric for the sofa and chair matched the patterned fabric of the ottoman pretty much exactly, enough to ni Not noticeable when they moved slightly apart and influenced by the lighting in the room.
