The ruffles are not made of the same material as the comforter and pillowcases. They are scratchy and not comfortable to lay on. Plus they have a cheap threaded stich that easily comes out which causes the ruffle to just be a strip of material attached to your comforter. There is also no stitching keeping the comforter in its place under the fabric. Overall, we are highly disappointed but it is too late to return. We have owned it for one month.
