I have a 15 years old oversized green and gray couch that sits real deep. It came with big toss pillows that are pretty much required to sit "properly" on the couch. Overtime, the couch has been spruced up (due to dogs, cats, time) with some cushion covers, and while the toss pillows are in perfect condition, I simply wanted to mildly change the color. I opted for the brown as the cushion covers I have is a dark brown. This is slightly lighter, and I like the contrast. When I look closely, the covers are brown with a little black peppered in. The zipper is hidden, and it seems sturdy enough, but be gentle stuffing pillows in. I fold them, slide in, and then carefully zip it closed. No problems. But I'm not sure if can handle rough handing at insertion. I needed 6 covers, so I purchased 3 packs (of 2). I figured I would buy them all at once in case there is a dye difference due to a lot change. All look the same. Has a good, crisp look. It was what I was going for. I like these and would consider them again. If anything changes, I will be back to update.I do recommend!
