It's so true you have to use your own instincts and not always rely on reviews.  I just had my bedroom painted and the colors in this comforter would be spot on. I read the reviews and some said it was cheaply made. I purchased anyway. I absolutely love this comforter set. I just look at my bed its so beautiful. It's light-weight for my husband and I we don't like heavy weighted comforters. I would buy another for a backup.
