The photos were a little misleading as for the thickness of the comforter. However, that being said, it is a great lighter weight comforter for the summer season. Because of the multi colored design, it easily works with many different sets of our sheets. We enjoy this addition to our bedroom, and will probably use it seasonally. I would recommend that this is a great set for a younger girl crowd, maybe one that is going off to college or getting her first apartment!
