A 1 star review is described as "missed the mark". That would be an understatement. In no way could these cushions be fairly described as outdoor use. I exclusively used them indoor so that wasn't an issue. At first I was quite happy with them, despite the fact they flatten almost immediately. I loved the natural look so much I purchased the matching chair pads. It was only when it came time to wash them that things really went south! I followed the washing instructions to a T and they came out of the washer a smelly, lumpy mess. It was like the filling was made of newspaper. After trying to air dry them to no avail (the fabric seemed to have been stained by the filling) I ended up throwing them in the trash! Do not recommend whatsoever! Total waste of money.
