The comforter arrived nicely packed. As my daughter will be taking it to college with her in a very cold climate, she of course wanted to open it and check it out. We removed it from the package and wrapped it around my daughter. At first glance I thought it was awfully thin and light. Not for long! The more we moved it the fuller it became. The bedding is fluffy and a nice weight. Perfect for a Wisconsin winter. I definitely recommend.
