This is a beautiful bed set. It is thinner than I expected but thats ok for me as I live in Florida. If we have a very cold night, Ill have to use an extra blanket under this one. I washed it right away as I wash all new bedding before I use it. The colors ran a little, the red slightly tainted the white parts. Not too bad though. Not bad enough for me to return it. The fit is very nice! For a king, its nice to have a bedspread that comes down enough on the sides to cover the sheets. The shams have scalloped edges, very nice. Its only for the Christmas season so I am happy with this purchase. This is not a set I would want for everyday use due to it being thin and lightweight.
