I love the pattern with the pale blue. My home  is filled with blue and the pillow looks great on furniture I had not  realized would be compatible.
I chose the down insert, always a wise choice for pillows, but I find the pillow fabric is actually quite stiff. Thus the soft down is almost a lost cause. A less expensive insert would have been just as good.
The package arrived as promised and the pillow was well-protected with inner-wrapping.
