I had outdoor pillow from Pier 1 for years, but they had faded a lot. So I ordered some new pillow covers on Amazon.<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t Prime, no free shipping. I ordered them all at the same time on June 21 and they said they would be delivered by August 2. I decided they were worth the wait, but they came sooner.<\/p>\n

The descriptions were pretty similar. They were all 18\u201d x 18\u201d pillow covers with a hidden zipper. Only one said that the print was on both sides. They were pretty un-specific about what kind of fabric. Even the ones that said anything said \u201ccotton linen or canvas\u201d or \u201ccotton, woven durable machine washable linen.\u201d They said that the size might have a deviation, that the color might be different. Feedback complained that the printing wasn\u2019t clear\u2026 But they were all really inexpensive, so I gave them a try.<\/p>\n

The first ones that came were the one with the dragon and the one with a Blue Willow pagoda.<\/p>\n

The print is really big and I was hoping that you would be able to tell there is a dragon on at least one side.<\/p>\n

Both sides of the Dragon Chinoiserie Pillow Cover are the same.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Both sides look exactly like the photo. Perhaps they are printing squares with just this design. It is printed on nice heavy canvas type fabric.<\/p>\n

I am happy with all of the pillows. They are all bright colors, clean printing, sewed well, exactly 18\u201d x 18\u201d\u2026 Nothing at all wrong.<\/p>\n

None of them are supposed to be outside, so I don\u2019t know how long they will last.<\/p>\n

I was really disappointed in the Pier 1 pillow covers until I calculated that they had been on my other sunny porch for almost 14 years. And other than being faded, they were fine.<\/p>\n

These won\u2019t be in as much direct rain or sun. At least for right now, they look great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
