This is a beautiful set-very luxurious, with plenty of pillows and very complementary patterns.  The set arrived tightly packed in a zippered plastic case, and I don't know if it is the fabric or the plastic from the case that has given the entire set a very strong, unpleasant chemical odor.  I hung it outside for two days hoping the fresh air would diminish the smell somewhat, but it did not.  I just sent it out to a dry cleaners in hopes that will help.  Otherwise, it will be hard to continue to use as the smell is so strong.  Sad, because it is a lovely set.
