Arrived compressed in plastic bags and well packaged. Very nice fabric, nice design and well stitched.  Just remove from packaging, shake/snap to fluff or use dryer on low heat or air only. I used two of those wool dryer balls to help fluff it up in dryer. So basically fluff up, put on bed and enjoy the neat design. Fairly warm. Pillows are good as well. You get one comforter, two matching shams and two decorative pillows in this set.
