The delivery of the pillows were actually pretty fast!!! I needed a red that would make my black, grey and white bedding pop and I thought the red wine color would be too dark. This cardinal red is nice and bright and they remind me of some juicy red strawberries! The pillows are soft but also firm enough for neck comfort. They are pretty big but I love having lots of pillows on my bed no matter the size. One of the pillows are missing the tab that attaches to the zipper but that's no big deal at all. I'm still able to zip and unzip for cleaning purposes. The price wasn't bad and I even had a coupon that I used towards the purchase. These pillows are highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.
