So I have two huskies who like to put their paws on my center console. After flipping out when I saw claw "dents" in the leather, I found this console cover and figured it was worth a try for the price.I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee, so the center console is a little larger than most. I was able to install the console cover easily when I opened the top hatch of the console and slipped it on over that, rather than the whole console compartment. This did not impede functionality of the top compartment at all. The length was a tad short (like 3 inches) but I just pulled it up so most of the cover is in the armrest area. When the dogs stand on it (I know, ,they're nuts), it definitely protects my leather!This cover looks really nice, as well. I got the black, which matches my leather interior. It is not obvious at all that there is a cover on the console unless you actually look to see that there is. My husband drove the car for two weeks before I told him it was there. He never paid attention and never noticed!Overall, this was a great purchase, and I highly recommend it!
