When I repainted my daughter's room for her teen years, she wanted black walls...I said no, too hard to paint over.  We compromised with a pretty dark gray.  She picked this comforter to go with her theme, in Queen size.  She's going away to college, where the beds are Twin XL, so we have to get a comforter to fit - and she wanted the same one!  I think the design is beautiful, and apparently - she thinks so, too!  And the Queen one is still in good shape, no tears or thin spots.
