This comforter set is a beautiful addition to my upholstered headboard. I took the advice of other reviewers and bought the king size set for my queen mattress. It gives me the option of running the striped pattern horizontally and it gives the illusion that the bed is wider.  Its thick, plush and weighty.  My cat lays on the bed and disappears because she matches the grey color so well. It's definitely her favorite spot to sleep since it arrived.  Cant beat the luxurious look it gives for the price.  Well worth the cost, I would buy again.
