The comforter is pretty. It isn't quilted much around the sides, so if you wash it, be sure to throw in a clean tennis shoe or similar item to keep the filler from bunching up. I specifically ordered this version of this set because it said it came with the bed skirt. It does NOT. Rather annoying that I need to go out and find one now- I'm going to have to get white (not ideal for hard floors-- gets dirty to easily with the dust), because the sage color is hard to match.  I will keep it, because I like the overall look, but Euro shams are useless to me- I'd much rather have the skirt.
