I ordered this to replace a "lesser quality" item I purchased at a chain department store. I had my doubts this would be much different but was I surprised! This is high quality. The feel of the comforter is extremely soft...almost like silk but actually a brushed cotton. It's fluffy (as in good filling) and the colors are exactly as displayed. You will need to order a black bed skirt (I think it needs one to complete the look). The decorative pillows are very nice and very well made.
