Modern covers are designed to slip over any chair back easily, as well as they allow adjusting the tie to secure each cover. They can even fit high back chairs, or the ones with extra deep seats.

Once you get the package delivered to your home, make sure that the covers match the colour you ordered. The policy of many retailers is that even if just one cover was removed from the package and put onto a chair, the package may be considered used. Thus, you may not be able to get a full refund anymore, but only a percentage of what you have paid. Therefore, make sure that the colour matches what you have ordered prior to using the covers. If the covers come wrinkled from the packaging, just spray them slightly with water and then let them dry. New or washed dining room chair covers may need a little ironing for a crisp look.

Moreover, if you rent chairs, such as for an event with many guests, you need to ensure that you return them intact. That's when dining room chair covers will also come in handy.
