Very happy with this set.  I'm not sure how thick some of the mattresses are that people have but the comforter is actually almost too long for me.  We have a 14 inch mattress on an 8 inch box spring and it hangs pretty low...past where the box spring meets the mattress. This was for my 13 year old daughter and she is very happy with it.  We purchased the pillows separately so we could complete the set as it was shown.  Very happy.
