I was so excited for this comforter set. I had been looking high and low for a set that suits me just right and fits my relaxing theme without being too flashy or or too simple. But when I opened the comforter I noticed it was very wrinkly and smelled strongly of the plastic wrapping. I put the comforter in my over-sized dryer for 20 minutes with some fabric softener sheets to see of that would do the trick and I when I pulled out out i was shocked to find that the padding had melted inside the comforter and the whole blanket is now misshaped and stained from the internal padding. I tried to spread it out on my bed to see if it might correct itself or stretch back into place and I found a large section in the center of the comforter that was severely discolored! Ugh! Such a disappointment.
