Sturdy cushion
I purchased two of these cushions for my kitchen barstools. The texture is nice and they are very thick. Due to how firm they are they should hold up for a long time. The material is dry clean only. Two things that I would prefer to have different are the ties and and the tags. The ties are very thick and they are extra extra long. When you try to tie them in a bow they don't lay nicely, instead they stick straight out. Lastly the tags are sew inside the cushion and are hard to cut off without some of the white tag still showing against your green cushion.

Color is too bright
I love C&B. Most of the furniture in my house is from C&B. Love them. Really I do. The cactus cushions (ordered 4 of them) are the best cushions to sit on. I actually had to buy them for my Spencer dining set because the cushions I had were getting flat. The only thing about the cactus that it appears too lime green. Kind of fluorescent neon green color. Too bright. I'm going to keep them though and use it for the upstairs chairs in the house. I'm going to order the sand color and see if that is more a better color for the kitchen area. Hope it works out.

I bought the terracotta/clay colored cushions for our barstools. The color is vibrant and the cushions are thick and comfortable, and look very dramatic against the espresso bar stools. I sit there more often now!

Comfortable item
I bought the cactus colored cushions. They are a muted green, very soft and comfortable to sit on and hard-wearing. A great buy!

Perfect for the Basque chairs
I purchased these cushions in the copper color when I bought the Basque dining room table & chairs. Unfortunately, they were backordered, but happily they arrived ahead of schedule! The previous reviewer should never have tried to wash these...they clearly state on the pillow (as does the online description) that these should be professionally dry cleaned. You should NEVER wash a dry cleanable item. These cushions make the Basque chairs very comfy...even my cats love to sit or sleep on them! Also, I love the online photo ideas of alternate ways to tie them to the chairs...the crisscross method is so much more interesting and comtemporary than a bow.

Not Practicle
I bought one of these to go with my eight chairs. I wanted to see how they'd wash, before I invested in eight. Terrible. They are not washable. They are dryclean only! There is no zipper to remove cloth for washing. Not suitable for families with children.
PLEASE MAKE THESE IN A WASHABLE FABRIC!!! I would spend more for leather!!!!
