So lovely! Exactly what we needed. We had a heavy, dark comforter set prior to this and this comforter set is lighter but still comfy a plush. The sheets are very soft and I like the decorative pillows and cases that come with it. We chose to not use two of the decorative pillow cases but I plan to eventually get more pillows. The gold pattern has a bit of a shine to it which I love. Very happy!
