My family loves these cushions. The color is a lovely sea blue color and so soft and comfortable. My children say that it's like sitting on soft pillows. The ties make it easy to attach and adjust to my dinning chairs. I have had to hand wash out cranberry juice out of it. Once I handwashed it, I let it drip dry on a hanger (attached by the ties) over my bath tub in my bathroom and then laid it flat on my dryer rack over the heating vent in my living room. The two handwashed cushions dried nicely and were still soft and comfortable after handwashing with Dropp detergent and Dropp fabric freshener/softener, rinsing in warm/cool water, and squeezing the excess water out prior to hanging over bath tub. My family really loves these cushions!
