I wish I could give this item ten stars. This is the most beautiful, soft, and comfortable quilt. For the price, I was nervous that it would be thin and that was not the case, at all! It is obviously thinner than a comforter but it is the standard (if not thicker) than a normal quilt. We have been able to use this year round! I can not say enough great things about this item. May be my favorite household purchase!
