The comforter is soft and light weight and perfect for upcoming winter months.  My guest rooms look great with black and white.  I ordered the King for my Queen size bed because I prefer to have it longer on the sides.  It is just perfect, elegant yet fashionable.  I would recommend this comforter.  I do not use the skirts because I have panel beds.  I would have preferred to order sheets to match.  This comforter is washable, however, I will dry clean it instead to keep my comforter look new.  

Pros: Absolutely beautiful.  Economical, perfect weight not heavy and I am now a bedroom fashionista
Cons: none
