Review on πŸŽ„ Booque Valley Christmas Pillow Covers - 2 Pack, Red Tree Xmas Decorative Cushion Cases - Hand Stitched Silver Jingle Bells on Soft Velvet - 18x18 Inch by Stephanie Larsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Rubber crosses break easily.

Cute, simple linen pillowcases. Pros: The material is thin canvas or some kind of fabric, so it will probably look best over light pillows. Ours are white on one side and gray on the other with a slight discolouration on the back (grey side) showing through when covered with these overlays. Otherwise they look exactly as I expected. The print is dense and very clean, which I liked. They also fit our standard 18" sofa cushions really well so they don't sag or wrinkle at all. They zip up and the zip is separate from the hanging pulley. Color as shown, cream textured cover. Cons: Seams. I usually open linens bought online and let them air out for a day or so before using them indoors (there's often an unmistakable clothing/furniture store smell). They came without much smell so I decided to use them right away. Little Dragon. Two minutes to put them on and one of the seams started to tear. These covers now fit the 18x18 pillow very snugly, so to be honest I had to do a bit of "stuffing" and "cheating" when the pillows fitted. However, I have ordered another set from a different seller (the orange set) and they fit perfectly, with the same amount of filling and no tearing or popping. Be crazy. These are the little pieces of rubber you find at the dollar store that wouldn't bother me if they stuck together at all. I've had them for less than a week and almost all of them have no legs and they fall out of the pillowcase (one fell off completely and I had to slide it back under the dangling thread). The legs don't really bother me, but spiders tend to completely detach and even fall off, so I was disappointed that they weren't stronger/better attached. And no, I don't have any children or cats. All in all, if you're looking for a cute, cheap Halloween pillowcase set, these are fine. Just don't expect too much durability (and you can't beat the price). If you have kids or pets who hate furniture or tend to tug at decorations, look elsewhere. **UPDATE: So far, a few weeks after purchase, all of the spiders have fallen apart and become detached from the cushions. (Again, we have no children and our dog does not chew. This is only after regular, light use). The decor pattern is still fine, but I need to find a way to replace the spiders. Spring.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
