City Scene Retro Squares 7-piece Bed in a Bag with Sheet Set

I love this comforter set! Goes excellently with my decor and wall coloring and fits just well with my bed frame style! However, my only issue would be fading. After one wash it no longer had the brightness that popped when I first laid it out on my bed...otherwise...after almost a year later I still love it!

it's hard on your eyes the first time you lay it down. after that it's OK to look at. it's very nice and i'm very pleased with the purchase.

Nice bedding, a little stiff fabric, but get softer over time. Great value for the money!

I had hoped when I googled the prices of other "City Scene" comforter sets, that I had hit on a screaming deal on this one. However, the quality of this set is on par with those comforter sets that you would purchase from a large discount store. I never could find the thread count, but I would guess it is 180, and at the very most 200 threads per square inch. All of the items are tagged with a 100% cotton tag. The manufacturer's tag states, "Revman International" and they were made in Mexico. One of the pillow shams in the set I received has a major flaw in the fabric where part of the fabric just wasn't printed. This was an obvious flaw that should have been caught at every stage of the manufacturing process. Thankfully, Overstock is stepping up and replacing both shams so they will match with such an obvious pattern. On a positive note, I am very happy with both the size and weight of the comforter, along with the vibrant colors. The comforter easily covered my son's king-size pillow top mattress along with almost the whole box spring. As other reviewers have stated, a bed skirt is NOT included. That was actually fine with me. I chose instead to purchase a fitted sheet to encapsulate the box spring with. This almost gives the bed a platform type of appearance - plus, no more having to struggle with that darn bed skirt when I make the bed! The red in the comforter set is a dark rusty red. The dark color in the comforter is a dark chocolate brown and not black as reported by another reviewer - I wonder if the pattern has changed? The sheet set is a buttercream color with a dark brown band (about three inches) on the edge of the pillow case and the top of the sheet. The sheets seem a bit silkier than the comforter - maybe a 250-300 per inch thread count "sateen"? They are fine, but rather non-descript. I would not choose to purchase them on their own if they were sold separately. All in all, for my purpose (for my son's bed), I would purchase this item again. However, I would definitely be sure of a higher quality comforter for my own room. This is more along the line of a high style - low price item that I would expect to replace in a couple of years. When I take the time to decorate my own bedroom, I tend to look for higher quality classic styles that I can use for a longer period of time.
