The look of linen is wonderful and when you can get it without the wrinkling drawbacks it's doubly wonderful! Another excellent choice would be a Sunbrella fabric.

Thanks, Carolyn - I was just not sure about Viscose. But looks like a lot of upholstered furniture makers use that a lot.

You may want to Google Viscose before deciding. I found this info, but you may want to view more, as oftentimes there is information to the contrary. It's big investment and you want to make the right decision: Viscose has become popular due to its luxurious look and feel yet affordable price. It is versatile and blends easily with other fibres, is easily dyed and retains vivid colours well. It is renowned for its silk like lustre, appealing drape and superior softness to cotton. It does have limitations to be wary of. Viscose absorbs moisture - body oils and water. This can discolour and weaken the fabric and result in marking. Many fabrics with a high viscose content are classified "dry clean only" and spot cleaning is problematic in that it can result in water marking. Viscose's other Archilles heel is that it can have poor crease recovery.

I did see this Maureen, hence the dilemma. But then I thought since is woven with other material it should be fine. Still not sure....
