I thought. "I'll make them myself". before After The cushions are reversible, and the pattern matches. The old barkcloth rattan sets were like this, each cushions pattern matched all the cushions in the set. Your cushions are like this, I've seen them on your website, very cool. The upholsterers I spoke to, didn't quite get this. I was picky and wanted it made a certain way. toward the end. they still cost me $50.00 a piece. They came out good. This was not my first upholstery job, so I had some practice before. Try it, you can do it. Mahalo, Al [ Edited by: Alnshely 2007-07-01 16:12 ]
