These are really nice pillows.  The material looks like linen (not sure what it actually is).  I like that the material shows a little texture, it isn't just smooth.  Which is what I wanted.  I ordered 2 grey pillows as I wasn't sure which color would go with my couch and other decor.  The Smoke grey color is a super light grey.  Its very pretty but I think too light for what I need.  The Sterling grey is a little darker than the Smoke grey, but not much.  Its so hard to tell color on line.  They are both really pretty grey colors (just a little lighter color than I think I wanted).  The pillows appear well made and look high quality.
