After seven years of daily use I was about ready to throw out my Ektorp couch and get a new one. Instead I bought this set and some fiber fill and combined I have a refurbished "DIY reupholstered" couch. While I wish there were some more color options the color is as shown and is a welcome change from the cheapest light beige cover set I bought with the couch. Now I can probably keep this couch around until I move. The fit is good, I redid the whole thing including the first round of fiber fill in about 20-30 minutes from old to new. I did tear a bit of stitching out near the zippers on the small back cushion, though I think there's equal parts to blame of somewhat weak stitching and somewhat too strong an effort. It's not noticeable and I think it should hold without tearing more, if it doesn't I'm handy enough with needle and thread to fix it. I find the price a bit high but overall I'm pretty pleased.
Love this couch cover! Just the color I've been looking for (deep blue), Ikea only carried a light baby blue. The fit is perfect, I'd recommend this to anybody that has an Ikea 3 seat couch. Delivery was excellent. The cover came 4 days earlier than expected! Look8ng forward to other colors!
Perhaps I had better expectation, the quality of the leatherette is low, it had a few holes after a week or so of use, the other annoying thing was the smell when I install the covee.
The pros:
Prices
the color is beatifull
The fit
The cons
The quality of the material
The smell
Suggestion is to have a lower membrane permeable to be able to inflate and deflate the cushions when is pressed or released.
When I opened the box the weird smell of a cheap plastic halloween costume jumped out at me. After taking the cover out of its plastic bag and assembling it on the couch I couldnt believe it. It really was a perfect look. Photos dont really do it justice, it looks alot better in person. It was very quick to put together as the fit isnt super snug, it allows some breathing room which adds to a more authentic leather look. It took me about 10 minutes and once I got it all together I wiped it down with some Weimans Leather Wipes to help condition it. The only con are the wrinkles. Everything is neatly folded so after its put on your couch you'll see quite a few creases but over time the more you sit on it they'll rub themselves out.
I chose an Ikea couch so I could change out the cover when I wanted. The sofa came with a light beige cover a few years ago and I was ready for a change. I thought that dark blue might be a cat and dog hair magnet. But its not as bad as I thought. I really like the look of this cover. Now if they only made a print chair cover I liked I'd be very happy.
Fits perfectly, easy to put on, nice deep blue color. Feels sturdy so far. It irritated my skin at first, but I washed all the pieces in cold on gentle and let them air dry, and that seems to have fixed it.
We are very happy with this cover, the color and fit are just what we were looking for.
This cover is exactly what I was looking for. It fits perfectly.
