We bought the Ektorp Sofa, Loveseat and Ottoman when we bought our house 7 years ago. I can't tell you how many compliments we've received from guests stating how nice and comfortable they are! Many people will ask, why buy white? Has no one ever heard of bleach? We like them because with four children, you can just chuck them into the washer and have sparkling white slip-covered furniture in no time flat! We have been able to bleach out orange vomit, brown explosive diaper leftovers and black icing from a hockey party our oldest son had last summer. On top of this, IKEA offers a 10 year warranty on this product brand - you can't go wrong! We bought our furniture when they were having a special gift card promotion. We used the gift cards to buy extra slipcovers which we haven't even had to use yet.
