This is so pretty in person! I love the way it looks. The blue is a nice compromise from what my husband and I each wanted (he wanted dark and I wanted light, this is a steel blue) and while it's feminine, it's not too girly for him. However, while the sheets are pretty soft, the comforter is scratchy. Also, I need to contact the company because the bed skirt ripped while we were laying it on the box spring (at a seam, but still, that shouldn't have happened; it's not like we were rough with it). Hopefully, they'll send us a replacement. Will try to remember to update this when I have an answer.
