These slipcovers were great until we washed them. It clearly states that you may wash and dry these slipcovers. This is why we bought these perticular slipcover because they said machine washable, and with 2 large dogs, who think this is their kingdom, we needed to be able to throw them in the washer!!! First and only wash they SHRUNK and not just a little bit. Not that they are too expensive but still if they say they can be washed then you should be able to wash and dry them!!!!

Excellent sofa covers. It does take a bit of tugging and pulling to get the covers fitted perfectly, but it really is not difficult. I covered two sofas and a love seat in less than a hour. Quality of the fabric is sturdy and tightly woven. The slate color has a tint of green, so do not expect a totally black/white grey color variation. The hue is still quite neutral in effect. The cean lines of these slipcovers allow for a more contemporary appearance-no frills. The skirted bottom has a clean edged pleat-see photo. I am very pleased with this product. The covers are in place daily to keep the sofas underneath clean, and yet it would not be a problem if an unexpected guest saw the sofas while they were covered. I do remove the covers for dinner parties and events when I want our grey suede sofas visible. The covers also keep the pet hair from our two felines from ruining the suede of our three sofas. Another excellent value from Overstock!
