The fabric tends to mat/bunch a bit and can resemble the texture of a stuffed animal. But the color is nice and looks good in my pre-teen's bedroom. I wouldn't recommend this particular comforter for a grown up's room.

*UPDATE* the ends are fraying. It has not been washed due to it's enormous size, so it's not from wear and tear. I am upset I paid so much for this big, dead, Muppet.
