As one reviewer said, you can feel the cardboard under the pillow - however, I purchased the pillow for decorative purposes only so this was not an issue for me.  The color is a soft champagne and I love how it looks after you fluff it up!  If you plan to use this pillow for any other use than decorative, then this is not the pillow for you.  Very happy with my purchase. 

Pros: great color and style
Cons: none for me
