When these arrived they were brilliant.  It is now a year later and of course they have faded.  That not being the issue, when removing the cushions to wash the zippers broke on at least 3 of the 5 covers.  Also, there is so much thread unthreading after washing I'm not sure that I can use them again.  Unfortunately I feel like I've thrown almost $300.00 away on these cushions.  BUYER BEWARE
