I loved the appearance of these pillow covers, and I tried to accept them, but they SHED!  Everywhere!  I kept picking up pieces of the fringe on our clothing and floors.  Additionally, the fringe was so close to the zippered opening that it made using the zipper extremely difficult.  If they could figure out the issue, the covers are just what I wanted, and I still haven't found anything I like better.  Unfortunately, I couldn't live with the shedding.
