I got this comforter set about a month ago. I was skeptical at first because it was made of flax and cotton. I was afraid it might feel scratchy, but I went ahead and got it because I loved the look of it. I am so happy I did! It is very soft and not scratchy at all. It is also very pretty. I want to get more in different colors for other bedrooms in out house. I really really love it and I expect it will last me a very long time, it is made very well with high quality materials.
