I've had this couch about 5 years now and as I am sure any pet owner can attest you can imagine it is showing some wear now. Things have been spilled and threads are getting bare from doggie play time.
I didn't want to take the approach of just getting a full couch cover because I felt it would take away from the wood detailing which was the reason that I was drawn to this sofa in the first place. I did try one of those pet protectors that are like throws at one point though and this actually made the situation worse! Coco and Dante both are burrowers and would dig in the corners to get underneath the cover.
I attempted contacting the manufacturer to see if I could order new cushion covers, as the main wear was showing on the seats, but found out that I needed a serial number. This was long worn off being placed on a label under the cushions. My next tactic was to price the services of an upholsterer, but this proved to be too costly with a $450 price tag and fabric that wouldn't even match.
I wasn't really ready to purchase a completely new couch at this point. I looked but nothing out currently truly suited me and shipping is backed up to 9 months or more as well anyway. Finally, while browsing Amazon, I think I found a solution. Faux leather cushion covers!
I was able to find them in a color that matched the faux leather ottoman I use as a coffee table. They went on super easy like a fitted sheet over the cushions and so far, seem of good quality. Time will tell how they hold up to the pups but so far, I am hopeful. I also think they add a new look to the sofa without hiding the wood detailing.
