We purchased this bedding for our baby's nursery becuase of the great value and I really liked the colors. We have been very happy with it and still believe that the value is unbeatable when compared to the costs of crib bedding at baby stores or even discount stores. There are a lot of pieces to the set which was a real plus for me--it made decorating easy. I would have thought that the material would have been a little softer than it is. The fabric seems a little stiff even after washing it; I hope with time that it will soften. Overall we have definitely been pleased with our purchase and would recommend this to anyone who was interested.
