What I can say about my experience with this comforter set is that it is soft, cozy and great for a good night sleep. Other comforters that I have had in the past have been scratchy and reeked of chemicals-- but not this comforter. I have gotten compliments from family members so far and it makes me more proud of my investment. However, (fair warning) the colors are more muted and in between the red plaid squares it appears to be pinkish (or maybe a faded red) in color. It is still quite masculine and great for a warm log cabin look.

Pros: Soft, well built, good looking, and no offensive chemical smell
Cons: Colors are slightly different
