The quality of this comforter set definitely exceeded our expectations; that's why I highly recommend. This blanket is really warm and fluffy. It would be perfect for cuddling with on a a cold winter day. It is really soft and it has a really nice weight to it. Made very well no bad smells to it. it does shed slightly at first but after cleaning it that seemed to stop. super fluffy and warm. My daughter is in love with the set and wants other colors now.
