The 8 cushions I ordered arrived in less than 48 hours, packed separately in boxes, and protected by plastic wrap. They look nice, were a great price for Sunbrella material, and are zippered which I required for future cleaning. But, as other reviews have stated, they are extremely HARD and will likely be uncomfortable for sitting long periods of time. I am keeping them, but you may not want to order if comfort is most important to you.
