2. A set of dining chair seat covers, so you can upgrade your worn chair cushions without having to also cover up the backs of your seating.

Promising review: "Thrilled to find this product for our dining room chairs! Thought we would have to remove hundreds of staples to re-cover our six chairs and spend a pile of money, or spend A LOT more to have someone else do it for us. WOW! What a transformation! So quick and easy too, and they are perfect! Got the green diamond patterned ones and they look beautiful on our dark wood chairs. One tip I would mention though is that these covers stretch quite a bit if necessary (a good thing). You do need to remove four screws on the underside of the chair to put these on, but don't remove the old fabric. The old fabric will not show through these covers but will help make installation of the new covers so much easier and comfortable. Also, be mindful of which way the diamonds on the cover stretches as you pull them on!" —Jack

3. An elegant dining chair slipcover decorated with tiered ruffles around the seat, which add a sophisticated touch to your office, living or dining room space, so you can reinvent your space without putting a dent in your wallet.
Promising review: "This is a third recycling for this desk chair and LOVE its renewal. The frilly bottom adds a warmness to an otherwise utilitarian area. This slipcover fit perfectly, and the tucking stays put when I get up. I think the cotton duck material against original tapestry fabric helps keep it in place. Only only minor complaint: Even though the fabric is thick, the original design shows through just a tad when you get close." —Linda

These are amazing. After washing, they haven’t gotten harder to install. It’s tight but it’s not near impossible to get over the chairs. The color is just as shown. Very durable. The length is great so it’s not sliding up uncovering bits when you sit. I love these." —Candace

Promising reviews: "I was so tired of steam cleaning my old microfiber dining room chairs, which we're getting worn from age and a house full of five children, haha. These covers were very affordable and easy to use and I think they look very nice. I removed each seat cushion completely by unscrewing them underneath to place the covers on. It may be a bit of a pain to have to routinely do that to wash them in the washing machine (I'm hoping they hold up well if/when I do), but so far they've really done well just being wiped off manually — even some spaghetti sauce a few nights ago." —Little Matt's Mommy
"I liked that they were stretchable, and was so happy that they fit easily on my dining room chairs. They have breathed new life into my dining room and they stay put. Granted they have not been christened by my grandchildren, but I think they will do the trick. I like how they have turned the chairs back into fabulous!" —Constance Troops

15. A top-rated set of velvet parsons dining chair covers, so you can add a luxe touch to your home aesthetic without breaking the bank. The material offers a bit of stretch to ensure the perfect fit and it's machine washable in case you experience any spills or stains!
Promising review: "I bought these to cover some Ikea henriksdal chairs that had white covers. With children, they would get dirty fast! I bought the blue, and they have a brighter royal blue tone to them, which adds some fun color. They stretched well over the chairs and have helped so much in hiding little stains. I haven't tried washing them yet; I can update if the quality seems poor while washing. So far, I'm pleased with the value and quality. The one mistake I made is putting them directly over our white covers. With wet stains, they have rubbed blue color off. It might not be a bad idea to wash them right away and use some vinegar to set the dye before using." —aubryrose
