Ektorp Chair Cover Replacement Compatible for IKEA Ektorp Armchair Cover, Ektorp Chair Slipcover, Ektorp Cover Only! (Dark Ocean)

Nice fit

My chair is several years old so maybe that was the issue but this cover (other than for the back pillow) bore no resemblance to my armchair - a shame because the colour and the delivery were very good

These covers fit perfectly on my Ikea Ektorp Ottomans. They are a great quality and a nice thick material so they will hold up well. Lots of reviews said they were difficult to put on but I did not find that to be the case. They are actually easier to put on and fit better than the actual covers you get at Ikea. I have not tried washing them yet so I can't speak to that but I will update the results once I need to.

Like others, I was dismayed when Ikea discontinued the Ektorp line. My challenge was locating matching replacement loveseat and ottoman covers in a color that was not some version of off white/beige or gray. And, they needed to be less than the price of entirely new furniture. This seller had both covers in Dark Ocean. It's an upscale looking saturated blue that appears to me to be very slightly more to the teal side than it appeared on my screen. It adds great color to the room without taking over the room. I'm 100%+ happy with my color selection. The fabric is far more substantial than I expected, has a light texture and does not appear to be a lint or animal fur magnet. The construction seems high quality and appropriately sturdy. Although trying to iron anything the shape of the loveseat cover is a bit challenging, I was surprised at how easily the shipping creases ironed out of both items. The cushion covers barely show any wrinkles from use. Both covers fit perfectly. The cushion covers are nice and snug which made my 10 year old (at least) loveseat cushions "poof" up like new. Getting the cover on the ottoman top required a bit of effort but it zipped up tightly and looks perfect. The grommets for the "bumper" screws are a bit smaller than on the original Ikea ottoman cover so you do have to make sure the cover is exactly in place for them to line up with the holes on the underside of the ottoman top. Just make sure the edge trim is correctly aligned and you should have no problem. The loveseat cover arrived within a few days. The ottoman cover was out of stock when I placed my order. There was an additional week or two delay on the ottoman cover but the seller provided appropriate updates and it arrived as promised in the updates. The results more than made up for that bit of extra wait!

The cover fit great and I was so happy to have found something to fit my well-loved Ektorp chair. But then I had to wash it. I washed the cover according to product instructions and the entire fabric came out damaged (see photo). Ironing made it worse. When I contacted the company they refused to help in any way and told me to look up YouTube videos on how to fix it. I had my IKEA brand covers for a decade and washed them regularly with zero problems. These were ruined in one wash. $230 wasted with no ownership from the company. The entire point of slipcovers is to be able to wash them easily. When I went to return my brand new, unused cover (as I didn't want to keep anything I couldn't clean), I was assured I would be reimbursed for shipping costs from the company. I confirmed it multiple times in writing, as it cost $90 to ship the product back. Once they received the product, they refused to reimburse shipping costs. Horrible experience start to finish. Do not purchase these.
