I had to write about my pleasant surprise. A stand-out piece, this pillow is a keeper! It compliments my cherry red leather sofa beautifully. It looks sophisticated, fun, and is well made. The gold goins are not too shiny, having a rich patina finish. I, now, feel well traveled even though I am not. Thanks Nate for bringing your exquisite taste and even better values to HSN. (I'm debating if 2 pillows would be an overkill?)
