We were replacing our 4 year old comforter set. I wanted something elegant but not too feminine. This set hits it perfect. It's a nice weight, not too heavy but seems pretty sturdy. I have to be careful when making the bed with my ring on because it wants to snag. The colors were true to the picture. Our old set was a darker brown. This set is more of a milk chocolate color. The pillows are an extremely nice addition. The sheets are very thin and may not last very long. I really love it so far.
