Brisbane Quilt Set

Rating

My son really likes this quilt and took it for his college apt. The cotton is soft when washed. It washed up just fine in warm water and then we threw it in the dryer. No noticeable shrinkage. However, I do alot of sewing ...and since it was still very large (which also made it feel heavy) for a full-size bed after washing it, I ended up removing the binding and trimming off a few inches on each side, then sewed the binding back on. That made a huge difference in cutting down the weight and it fits more like a regular full size quilt now. (instead of a queen size spread on a full-size bed) But if you like your quilts to hang down alot on the sides, you'll be happy with it as is out of the bag. Nice quality. Thanks Overstock!

I liked this design, but I was expecting a coarse, Spanish-poncho feel. I was impressed with the reviews, so I ordered it anyway. This quilt is amazing. It's just the right weight-- not too heavy to make you hot, but not so thin that you're freezing all night. I love the colors. It is mostly blue, but there are thin stripes of lime green and lavender, and wide bands of thin stripes of gray and black. It's a versatile piece and it exceeded my expectations.

This was my first order/experience with Overstock. I was excited about ordering this for my son's bed. The size is good but I would suggest going up a size if you want it to really cover the sides and bottom of a thicker mattress (ordered the full/queen for a queen mattress). When this arrived, I really wasn't all that impressed. The one I received looked like it had been washed and the colors had somewhat faded out - the black especially. Honestly, the only reason I did not return this was because of the return expense (considering the price of the comforter), and it was for my son's bed. He seems to be satisfied with it, so that is what's important. I washed it before use and it doesn't appear to have faded anymore. I also ordered a set of sheets at the same time as quilt order, and had to return those because they sent the wrong size. Overstock did issue a return on those at their expense.

These were the exact colors I was looking for in a spare bedroom, and was very happy with set when it arrived.I added a navy bed skirt, toss pillows and curtains .It looks fresh and clean, almost like a hotel. I made the mistake of reading a few reviews that said they ordered a king size for a queen bed. Don't do that. The set is very generous in size and it was a pretty costly mistake to send it back myself and re-order. Thank goodness for the $2.95 shipping. Just a couple of things I was aware of, no matter what size you order, you do get regular sized shams and I did notice a lot of loose strings. All in all it's a nice looking set and a good value for the money.
