Nice to look and not to touch
I purchased this pillow a couple years back, and while I was happy with the aesthetic at the time I’ve always been unhappy with the scratchy stiff feel, which has only worsened over time. The zipper has also oxidized and left a green tinge on the fabric. It’s also piled. I will be retiring this pillow soon.

We would love to find a way to make this right for you. Our Client Experience Team will be reaching out to you shortly to do just that. In the meantime, if there’s anything else you need please don’t hesitate to reach out. Sincerely, The Citizenry Team

Gorgeous but hard
This pillow is stunning but it is also extremely firm…lounging on it sort of feels like lounging on a rock. I have had it for over a year and it has not broken in.

Star of the Sofa
The design of this pillow was expertly executed, and it subtly begs the attention of guests. The texture is wonderful, but a little stiff on its face. It’s clear that extra attention was put into this and will be durable for years to come.

Great look and feel
Feel is wool, shape is great, adds a cool element and texture to the room

Great accent pieces!
Fabulous pillows; my client's love them. Good texture, exactly as shown in the photo. Just what the room needs for a warm neutral pop!
