I'm a cardinal lover--that's why I purchased this pillow. It's a lot larger than I thought (I clearly didn't read the description well enough!) and looks really nice on my Victorian sofa that's done in burgundy. It did arrive with a pull in the yarn right smack dab in the middle of the pillow--I trimmed it off rather than return it. The only thing I don't like is this pillow is very firm. You wouldn't want to use it to watch TV or anything.
like all other wool hooked pillows, this is not a comfortable pillow to lay on. But as a decorative pillow it is awesome. I have received many wonderful compliments on the shell hook wool pillows and enjoy them on my couch.
I purchased the hooked pillow along with the hooked vacationland rug with matching pattern. I have other hooked rugs and love them all, but this hooked pillow makes a very attractive added touch to compliment the rug. The pillow is high quality inside and out, the pattern is beautiful, and it's complete with a hidden zipper. Comfy too, so it's functional as well as pretty.
