I really like that this set comes with everything you need to outfit your bed.  It contains the comforter, shams, sheets, pillowcases, and a decorative pillow.  The set is nice, but don't expect a luxury feel as the comforter is fairly light weight and the sheets are a basic thread count.  I love purple and was really looking forward to this look, but the pattern and printing was pretty pale/light for my liking; I would prefer more bold color in the purple pattern.
