I am always very hesitant to buy bedding online as the material isn't always as nice as 'marketing efforts' would have you believe. I was relieved that this coverlet is very good quality. We've had it on the bed for 5 months now, stitching has held up beautifully and it is nice looking. We have a couple of fleece blankets under it, as the coverlet is not that warm, and it more meant as "show" for making the bed look nice. King shams and blanket are true to size (we got king).
