WOW! The price for everything is get is already fantastic for a king 8 piece set and then when you open the package it gets even better!! We are in the process of redoing our master and this bed set is the inspiration! The pattern is neutral without being boring. The set is soft and has almost a linen blend feel. The background is an off white that we paired with some off white sheets. Great price and great set!! (We did not use the bed skirt that came with because we have a platform bed)
