The overall quality seems quite good, making this an excellent buy for the price. That said, I am very disappointed by the color(s) which are just nowhere near as bright and clear as they appear in the picture. The colors are very muted, so much so that I am not sure that I would ever be happy using it.The bright red and medium green in the photo provide a nice contrast with the buttery yellow background. In actuality the background is more of a 'dirty' or muted yellow/cream, just not the bright, pure, creamy yellow expected and against which the other colors would pop. The reds in the flowers and in the plaid are also muted and not as bright as they appear in the photo. Same with the sage. The overall effect of the dull, muted colors is simply disappointing.Positives Comforter is edged in about a 4in ruffle of the red/sage plaid fabric along with a roughly 2in ruffle of crocheted lace. The pillow shams are made up of sections of all 3 fabrics (floral, plaid, and green solid) stitched together. The comforter has good loft. These would seem to be high end effects.Negatives Dull, muted colors lack contrast and just don't pop as expected and as shown in picture. Comforter does not reverse to the plaid or even the green as is normally expected. Back side of comforter is just an off-white backing fabric.
