I bought the quilt for my guest room. The quilt is pretty, but certainly not worth $199.99.  Fortunately, I only paid $67.99.  Because of the new smell, I washed it according to instructions.  The quilt and shams shrunk at least a couple of inches in both directions.  It is very light weight which is fine for me.  I can always add a light blanket.  In the set I received, both shams were the same.  The colors look exactly as pictured.
