This comforter set is beautiful and really elevates the look of our bedroom. I wouldn’t really call it “chenille” because it’s nothing like the old chenille bedspreads my mother had. There is a difference in texture between the satiny stripes and the chenille ones. It’s a nice contrast in textures. The 3 throw pillows are lovely too. The set was pretty wrinkled when first opened because it was packed so tightly in the box, but after a couple of days, the wrinkles started to smooth out. I would recommend this set especially for use in a guest room.
