I am a bedding fanatic...always looking for the next best, softest, most comfortable bedding I can find. I needed an entire set for a guest bedoom. I found this set to be very reasonable for the amount of pieces. The picture on-line does not do it much justice unfortunately. Compliments both sexes, and looks like it costs more than it really did. Even the man of the house (who does not get as excited about bedding as I do) thinks it looks very nice. I am overall very pleased with the purchase. Saved me from trying to find different coordinating pieces to get the same end result. HOWEVER, if this is a set to be used on a "high traffic" bed (dogs, kids or pillow fights) know that this WILL definitely end up with snags. Ours had 3 snags in first week and we don't have dogs, kids or pillow fights! I read that in several reviews but figured we are pretty delicate people so that wouldn't happen but it did. The texture of the fabric is almost a "gauzy" weave type of material so even a rough fingernail or toenail will catch. Also, the batting (inside of the comforter) tends to be lumpy and uneven. If you are trying to find an ensemble that LOOKS put together and looks like you spent some $ then this is your set! If you are looking for comfort, durabilty and longevity...only for a guest bed!
