This piece looks absolutely beautiful in our newly renovated room! Gives it the perfect farmhouse feel. It's not near as yellow as the picture appears (which is what I love) more of a cream/beige color which pairs well  with our light grey walls. the comforter is very soft and is light weight.  More of a spring/summer comforter. Others complained of it not lying flat after washing; however, when I washed the  comforter it came out just fine. I am using a King size set on our queen sized bed as we plan to eventually buy a larger bed, but  this was just the bedding I was looking for, so I purchased it! the throw pillows do come with the set. I LOVE that this set comes with a bed skirt. Such an awesome deal for the price! the pillow cases for your standard pillow is quite large...even on king sized pillows, there is still some fabric that hangs off. All in all, awesome purchase. Delivery was very  timely.
