We purchased 300 of these chair covers to use at an annual event. They were a little bit odorous coming out of the plastic, but they aired out quickly. Each chair cover is wrapped individually, and out of 300 covers, only ONE needed a minor repair. Pretty good! Putting them over the chairs is quick and easy, and for the most part, they stayed in place all night. Washing was as simple as throwing them in the machines!As a woman, I particularly like the arch at the front of the chair. It let me slip my purse and shoes under the chair without worrying about tripping over them or someone else picking them up.
