The red color is really rich and looks great with my decor. The soft fuzzy material of the red material was a nice unexpected feature. It is more like velour than suede which is what I was expecting and I love it! The Sherpa underside was a really great surprise to me. I may have not read the description as closely as I thought because I had no idea the underside would be so soft and fluffy! I can’t decide if I’ll keep it on my couch to cuddle with while watching tv or if I’ll use it on my bed. Either way I’m very happy with this comforter!
