This comforter exceeded my expectations. Don't let the picture fool you. The comforter looks nothing like the pictures. I read reviews before I purchased this comforter. I'm glad that I did. It isn't as gold/bronze as the pictures shows. The background is black, but the comforter has very rich colors in it also. The bedskirt is bronze as well as the euro shams, but all the pillows and comforter are this rich paisley pattern.
The description says that it has crimson in it. There is very little crimson. In fact, my crimson curtains did not go with it at all. I ended up purchasing some terracotta colored curtains, and they look fabulous. The color that stands out the most is the terracotta color. It also has some green, gold, and a slight hue of brick red.
The material is of the highest quality. You would never be able to purchase a comforter of this quality with this many decorative pillows for such a low price. It is truly worth every dime and even more. It's not a very thick comforter, which is perfect for the hot summers in the deep South. The only negative I will even give it is that it picks easily, so if you have pets, keep them away from it.
