This comforter set is AMAZING!. This is the most sophisticated set I have ever bought. The texture is bright silk/shiny, the gold is (GOLD) and the very bold pattern is something from a 4 star hotel. The fit of the comforter is (SLIGHTLY) small for my regular Queen bed, and it took me a half hour to iron out the really bad wrinkles. The quality is amazing for the price, not a stitch outta place, BUT the pillows were pretty smashed because they vacuum pack in a small box. It looks just like the picture, only more vibrant. HIGHLY RECOMMED
