Upon receipt of the set I was surprised at how dark a brown it is; at irst look it appears almost black & I had been wanting a somewhat lighter chocolate color. This is truly a very deep, rich dark chocolate but I decided to try it anyway because it's so very nice and its good quality is apparent. I have it on the bed in the master suite at the present time and its truly outstanding in appearance! Also, it's heavy enough to keep us warm yet lighjt enough that we are not sweltering during the night. The only two minor complaints I have are as follows: for some reason this fabric seems to snag my rings almost continuously & I wear my rings 24/7. That being said, I've simply learned to be more careful when handling the set. The other issue is the weak sttching on the bedskirt. I believe we all tug at the bedskirts when in the process of putting them on - its just part of the process. Please - use care when putting this on your boxspring! If you pull with any pressure at all the stitching will give way!! I know it isn't noticeable but I thought I'd mention it as a word of caution. Other than these two issues which aren't that big a deal at all, I'd say if you like deep, dark, rich brown and are looking for an elegant & smart value, - go for it!! I'm glad I did.Thanks Overstock,
