Not good if you use a lot and have kids
I bought these for my bar stools because the fit was great and they looked nice. But, there is a big white tag in the back of the cushion that is impossible to hide and I don't dare cut it for fear of ruining the cushion. Also, if you use these a lot (we do) and have kids, think twice. You cannot clean them only "spot" clean. Even with spot cleaning the fabric is so thick the spots do not come out. I took them to the dry cleaners and they said these have to be cleaned by professional cleaners like carpet cleaners. So, if you have kids I would look elsewhere.
Wish there was a better way to clean these because they are thick and look nice until the stains accumulate.

Only Cushion that will fit the Basque Chair
These cushions are comfortable enough, but if they weren't the only cushions with the same dimensions as the Basque chair (I've looked everywhere), I would have bought cushions from another store. The cushions can only be spot cleaned which is annoying if you actually use the chairs on a regular basis, and drop some food on them or have children who do. The cushions come with gigantic tags attached to the back and I can't figure out a way to remove them without ruining the cushion or leaving part of the tag showing. My final complaint is that I don't like any of the color options. Why is the color spectrum for these cushions so limited? In the end, I decided to keep them because the chairs are so much more comfortable with the cushions and they seem to be the only ones that fit.

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!!!!
