I like the weight of the quilt because it lays flat on the bed and during the night won't slip to the side and fall on the floor. The chocolate and mint colors compliment each other wonderfully. I have washed the set in my regular washing machine and it has held up nicely. If you're not one to sleep with heavy blankets, I don't recommend this product as it does have quite a bit of weight to it. After reading other reviews, I was skeptical about buying a king for our king bed for fear that it would not fit, but to the contrary, it fits nicely. Another great product...thanks O!
