This is a beautiful and soft beadspread. I love chenille. Such a timeless and classy look. Beautiful quality. I ordered the taupe/linen and the color was definitely what I consider to be taupe.I have not washed mine so I cannot comment on washing durability. My only negative comment at all would be about the shams. I ordered separately. I received my sham order yesterday. I was not expecting it to be one sham. I was expecting it to be a set.Everyone please know this when you order. It was beautiful even without the shams but since I only had the one, I redordered today. I just think kind of expensive to pay $XX.XX per sham.
