The head rest area of a theater chair just kind of peeled away! My husbands' short hair style must have rubbed it the wrong way. This patch - I got new black - is almost an exact match for the color of the espresso chair leather, but with a smoother texture. The texture difference is not a deterrent since the patch was able to be placed center and square on the chair. I did as other reviews suggested and cleaned the area with alcohol first, let dry, then burnished the surface as I applied the patch making sure to keep it flat and straight. I recommend two people to handle it - one to hold the adhesive area away from the surface as you apply it from the other end because the adhesive is truly that good! You won't move it once it's in place! I loved it so much I got another piece for when the other chair needs a face lift! UPDATE - I plan to order a couple more pieces since this color matches my chairs so well. A couple months later, and I still love this fix! I was worried about the edges lifting or pulling on my hair - no problems at all! Still in place with the edges firmly adhered to the chair, they look great and I will use a couple more to cover some new scratches on the footrests from the cats' nails.
