I really like this set.  Not too shiny and very warm.  It's a lovely shade of lavendar/lilac.  I love the texture of the diamond pattern as I think it gives the comforter a touch of manliness that my husband appreciates.  It's feminine, but not over the top.  Even my boys liked it:)  It's washable so that is awesome!  Beware if you buy the king size and you have a regular size washer and dryer...it will come out a little wrinkled.  So you have to either wait for the wrinkles to relax or steam them out.  If that matters to you.
