PAULATO BY GA.I.CO. Extra Large L-Shaped Corner Sectional Sofa Cover - Washable Velvet Slipcover, 1-Piece Form Fit Furniture Protector in Bronze - Perfect for Living Room, Family Room & Home Theater Seating Protection

✅ ✨Purchased the Brown velvet for a corner sectional. The brown is definitely a greige brown of medium depth of color. The image on Amazon is accurate for color. It is perfect for the current color pallets in home decor. Some may wish it were a lighter shade, but this is perfect to hide a variety of stains and smudges. It is not water resistant. I did test it with a little water?. I think they market their micro-fiber as water resistant, but this velvet is not. It did dry quickly, however. I purchased this to protect a white sofa from a teenager and a building contractor and all the dirt and grime they bring into the home. I wish I had never purchased a white sofa. It is cheaper to cover it than to replace it... so here we are. ?. We all agree that the fabric is comfortable to lounge on.I found a video on YouTube from the company demonstrating how to put it on the sofa. It was an easy process and I was able to do it myself in less than 30 minutes. I did use a long handled reacher to help get the strapping from one side of the under-sofa to the other. Any long rigid thing that you can attach one end of the strap to and wedge it across to the other side will do. That was a necessary process since I had no help to tip the sofa to access underneath. Mine came with 4 straps. I think 6 would be better for this size sofa, but 4 is adequate.Mine came with only 5 triangle cardboards to wedge in the cracks. This is not adequate. They were not sufficient for this application. Even if I had 7 cardboard strips, I don’t think they would have worked as well as my solution with a dollar store pool noodle. I cut one pool noodle long-ways into 4 long quarter-round strips, and I used these long strips end to end in the back where the cushions join and curved them along the base of the arm rests as well. I shoved them in deep. Be sure that you don’t pull the bottom edge of the cover up on the front of the sofa as you do this. I did spend a little time stretching and placing the fabric to ensure that everything stayed where it should. I also put small noodle strips in the curve where the top cushion meets the top of the rounded arm rest to keep that fabric tucked in and defined. The pool noodles are working like a charm. ? I have not smoothed the fabric at all in the last 3 days of use. The pics attached are from this morning after three of us were lounging on the sofa last night and for the last 3 days. I just fluffed the throw pillows. ?Perhaps Mamma Mia should consider providing similar long foam quarter-round strips in place of the cardboard. They would curve around the edges of the packing without adding much more bulk or weight, and the end result would be much better.So far we are pleased. I hope it is durable and will last for a long time. I paid around $380 for this sofa cover. ?I don’t think that is a good value for the money, but it is difficult to fit this size of a sofa, so I guess they can charge what they want to for it. The stretch of the fabric is great. It stretches enough to fit everywhere, but it has enough rebound to hold its shape and stay in place. I pray it will wash well and hold up.So far, I would recommend this sofa cover for a corner sectional. I like the look of the velvet, but if you need water resistance, you may need to consider the micro-fiber fabrics.5 week UPDATE: I still love this cover❣️ I only secure the tucks about 1x per week (the pool noodle trick is the way to go). It never looks wrinkled or worn even after a weekend of movie watching. I would like to tell you about their excellent customer service as well. I contacted them via Amazon email and asked how I could get 2 more straps for the under side to ensure there are no gaps there. They contacted me back (all communication via Amazon in-ap emails- so watch for them if you contact them) asking for mailing info and they immediately sent out additional straps for free. They sent me shipping info and also confirmed with me that I received it. They were VERY CUSTOMER SERVICE oriented— EXCELLENT ‼️I definitely recommend this product and their customer service.? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❇️ 1 year update. Still loving this cover. I only need to re-tuck the pool noodle sections every 10 days or so. The cover has stretched a little where we spend most of our time, but it still looks great. I have since purchased a navy one for a recliner and also a green one for my daughter. I love this product and company. It serves its purpose well.❇️2 year update. This cover has been amazing. We are on this sofa for many hours every day and it often gets slept on at night too. After 2 years of wear I am considering a replacement for it. Where we sit the most is beginning to show fabric fatigue and the attractive pucker in the fabric is flattening out. This has last s very well for 2 years. I consider it excellent in fact. The pool noodle tuck is the trick to keep me t in place. I still only fix the tuck about 1 time per week. I will definitely replace with this same cover.
