This is a beautiful comforter, but the outer fabric is quite thin and seems a bit fragile.  I do wonder how it will hold up long term, but I have gotten many compliments on how pretty it its. The quilt itself is nice and heavy.  I use it mostly for looks and fold it back at night, but have pulled it up a few times and it is nice and warm!!  We remodeled our whole bedroom and this just completed the project!
