I ordered 4 pillows in gorgeous Solstice velvet. They appear to be of excellent quality, dog hair wipes right off despite my concerns, and overall they exceed expectation.

I’ve docked one star from a perfect rating because the box these four tiny pillows shipped in was ridiculously excessive. Like I’m talking you could easily have fit 2 mid-size bikes, three basketballs, a blow-up doll and a golden retriever in there, and still have had room left for the pillows.

The perfect box to jump out of to scare your friends, and roomy enough to double as a lake house, but from an environmental and plain old practical standpoint the extreme boxing employed here was weird and wasteful as well as inconvenient.

I’ll definitely be ordering again from Rove (in fact I already have), I just hope next time my shipment will save a little on the ole tree murdering, and arrive in a box that is more suited to the dimensions of its contents.
