This set is very pretty and exactly what I expected. I am rating 4 stars because I have doubts about durability long term, but we'll see. I bought something else for use at night, so I only intended this to be the pretty outer comforter and it certainly is that. Also, it should be noted that I bought 2 for side by side beds and the pattern is not lining up in the same spot on both sets. Most people would never notice, but if you are persnickety like me it might bother you a little. Final thought..another reviewer said the shams have zippers. They do not. That detail could lead you to believe the quality is higher than it actually is.
