The deep saffron color, size, velvety texture, and workmanship of these pillow covers is just  as expected. One star off for no care label on the item (I had to go back to the plastic bag it came in, which I'd fortunately saved). Another star off for the item arriving deeply creased, which meant we couldn't use it right away. (Delicate wash & drip-drying did nothing. Ironing w steam eventually did the trick.)
