I shopped long and hard looking for a new comforter. I loved the picture and I have a dark bed so thought it would be a good mix. While I do love the colors and feel they are pretty well represented by the picture, they aren't quite as vibrant as I had expected -- not that that is a bad thing necessarily -- it looks a little bit more old fashioned than I had expected...I think it is the almost carpet/tapestry feel of the material. The sides are a little long for my bed....I do have the deep pocket mattress but maybe not as deep as some. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned the weight can be an issue. I didn't really think it would matter to me, especially since I don't like the real light comforters that slide off the bed easily, but this one is truly so heavy that it can be a little difficult to handle when making the bed and also not the best to sleep under. The accessory pillows are beautiful and really do make a beautiful set along with the bedskirt. I did like it well enough not to return it, but I have to say that before I purchased it I chatted on line with a representative who assured me that it was a returnable product. One of the reviewers mentioned a problem on attempting to return it. My understanding was that as long as it was unused and returned in new condition it wouldn't be a problem. I also think that as the picture shows, cream color sheets would be the prettiest with it. As far as quality of the product, I certainly feel that everything in the set is very well made and of great quality so far. I've had it for about a month and haven't noticed any wear issues. Also, the product came way earlier than the estimated arrival date. I would definitely shop with overstock.com again.
