The color and velvet is beautiful  I had trouble with one of the zippers, but eventually got it to zip up.  The covering of the pillow itself is a very flimsy and my finger easily ripped it. I'm not returning it because its covered by the pillow cover and if I decide to, I can later put a new casing on the pillow.  The pillow fluffed up fast and really nice after I opened the vacuumed packaging.
