I really loved this set. The price was great and it looks great and expensive on my bed. The Red or Marroon is more subdued than I thought it would be. I have a lot of the rich marroon in my house. But I used my existing marroon underskirt and it brought more of the color out in the spread. I do plan to alternate between the green underskirt and my maroon just to change it up a bit. Oh, I also have a very deep mattress and the quiltted "spread" is very generous and goes down to the underskirt all around the bed and goes generously to the top headboard too.
