I was surprised when I received this to find that the fabric is slightly shiny and very rough. The underside of the comforter is made from a very soft cotton, but if the top side rubs on your face it is actually uncomfortable. The throw pillows are very nice and pretty and overall it looks good, but it feels a bit cheap. Also, if you pull the comforter too hard, the stitches holding the pleating in place actually breaks. Can't say I would get it again.
