I love this bedding set! It looks exactly as pictured and the great part about the set is that you also get everything that is shown in addition to the comforter, including the shams and two throw pillows. This lends a nicely completed look to any bedroom decor. I would describe the overall look as a bedding set you would find in a coastal hotel. The material of the bedding is very thick and plush and it is easy to see the quality of construction. This will lead to durability over time and allow the comforter to withstand repeated washings. All in all a truly perfect find our bedroom!
