I love the design of the pillow and had been looking for one that said “home sweet home” for our outdoor sofa. This was my favorite that I found. That being said, for $50, I would think it should have a zippered cover that can be taken off and washed... especially being an indoor/outdoor pillow. It’s also a pretty thin fabric for outdoor so not sure how long it will last. I purchased over a dozen outdoor pillows for our new patio furniture and this one was the most expensive and seems like the least durable. Should not be priced any more than $25-30 in my opinion.
