We are proud parents of a beautiful and energetic toddler, who initially gave up on thinking that anything nice was going to last. Well, durability at last! The slipcover sofa compliments our contemporary style quite perfectly with its sleek elongated design. However, the functionality and comfort have not been sacrificed in its construction. Countless times, this couch endured abuse from my toddler's artistic ambitions and a 24hr call for "juice." If there is an accident, all you have to do is to unzip, drop it in the washer, and tadaa!!! Good as new again. My bro-in-law who is 6'5" 300+#s crashed on this baby for days at a time, and it still looks new. When in doubt, just unzip, wash, dry, and zip again. We are quite happy with the purchase and we would recommend it to anyone, especially those with kids who do not want to sacrifice style.
