Covered right over it no problem. My glider has straps with snaps that attach the cushion to the frame. I haven't covered those yet because they didn't work great either so I was going to see how it did without anything attaching it. So far so good.

It's white and has pale green cushions...which looked cute in a nursery but doesn't really go in any other room. I priced new cushions and holy moly they cost more than the glider did. I thought about recovering it but it seemed pretty complicated. Your review seems pretty easy to me. My back cushion has all the lines on it, for looks mainly I supposed. Do you think it matters if I just forget they exist and cover right over it? Did you do anything special to attach it to the back? Mine has some velcro that doesn't really work anyway.
